This weeks Christmas record share is Christmas With The Caroleers. The King, or Ernie, had posted the album cover on Flikr, but the wrong record was in the sleeve, so I do not believe this has been shared. The Caroleers were a group of talented vocalists who did not normally receive recognition by name on records. They recorded in many different styles and, as such, this isn't really a cohesive album, but it does shine on a few tracks. You will not be downloading the entire record. You are getting all of side A. Side B was too far gone to salvage, and to be frank, the songs on the b side are nothing special. That being said, there is one fantastic track on side B, The Night Before Christmas.I did work at length to clean that one up for you. It's not perfect but, man, that's a great song! Listen to that track now, then download the share.
Hi,
Love your site and thank you for posting all the great Christmas albums from yesteryear. I am having trouble downloading "Christmas with the Caroleers" for some reason but will try later. Happy Holidays!!

I love the Caroleers! My favorites were definetely "Christmas Cookies and Holiday Hearts" and "The Skaters Waltz."
I would recommend checking them out!
