Christmas With The Andrews Sisters (LP)

Andrews Sisters, The

(Pickwick International) 12 Tracks - 
With a little help from their friends, the three girls from Minneapolis -Patti, Maxine and Laverne, - are back with a great set of Yuletide favourites. Recorded at their height of fame, the Andrews Sisters got together with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye on evergreen Christmas standards like "Jingle Bells", "A Merry Christmas At Grandmother's", "The Twelve Days of Christmas" and "Jingle Bells". They also perform on their own, wonderful seasonal classics like "Winter Wonderland", "Sleigh Ride" and "Christmas Candles". 
Twelve fabulous sing-a-long favourites that sold their first million as long ago as 1937! Since then the Andrews Sisters have been awarded five more gold discs becoming International Superstars of their time throughout the 1940's. In 1953, Patti left the group to perform solo, but it is the recordings of the '30's and 40's that the millions of fans remember most fondly. To date, The Andrews Sisters have sold a staggering sixty million records! They were responsible for starting off the calypso craze of the 1940's, and for establishing the 'Boogie Woogie', which Clarence 'Pinetop' Smith began exploring in the twenties - and which he never saw develop into a national craze as he was killed in 1929 before Boogie Woogie really took off. 
As Christmas draws near, this is a collection of timeless pieces of nostalgia which are use to get your feet going, and a must for any party over the holidays. Several of the numbers we have featured in this great new release have been million sellers in their own right, or have 'taken part' in producing a 'Gold' album. In 1943, The Andrews Sisters with Bing Crosby recorded "Jingle Bells", which was written in the 1850's by J. S. Pierpont, and was originally called "The One-Horse Open Sleigh". Sales of "Jingle Bells" were estimated at over six million records for The Andrews Sisters and Bing's version alone!. A little history lesson here - the composer of "Jingle Bells" wrote it for a local Sunday School entertainment, but could never have foreseen its ultimate, incredible success! This recording was made in Los Angeles on the 27th September 1943. The Andrews Sisters also achieved a million seller with "Winter Wonderland" in 1946. 
The collective sales of this particular evergreen are now over 40 million! Written in 1934 by Dick Smith and Felix Bernard, "Winter Wonderland" has been covered by numerous artists ranging from Johnny Mathis to Phil Spector. In 1947, one Gene Autry wrote and recorded a great number, "Here Come Santa Claus". It became an instant hit and a worldwide million seller. 
Born in 1907, Autry began recording in 1930, and also appeared in the film 'In Old Santa Fe' in 1934. This led to many box-office hit 'Westerns', and in 1936 he was voted Top Western Star, an accolade he also held from 1946 to 1954. Autry also scored a further two million sellers with Christmas songs - in 1949 with "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer", and 1950 with "Frosty The Snowman". Also in 1947, "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" played a significant part in contributing to the success of Bing Crosby's million selling album "Merry Christmas". The track became one of the highlights of the set and is included here, featuring as it does the great Andrews Sisters!  Medium 1 Id Name Interpret 1 Winter Wonderland 2 Sleigh Ride 3 Jongle Bells (& BING CROSBY) 4 Christmas Candles 5 Merry Christmas Polka 6 The Twelve Days Of Christmas (& BING CROSBY) 7 Here Comes Santa Claus (& BING CROSBY) 8 Jing-A-Ling, Jing-A-Ling 9 The Christmas Tree Angel 10 Poppa Santa Claus (& BING CROSBY) 11 A Merry Christmas At Grand...(& DANNY KAYE) 12 Santa Claus Is Coming To Town (& BING CROSBY)
