The Earlier Walter

Welcome to 2017, hope you are all having a great year so far! This is the first Christmas record from Walter Schumann and his famous Voices, recorded for Capitol years before he waxed his much more famous record for RCA.  I don't think this one is quite as good either, but it's not out there for download, so I think it's fair game to share this one.  I pulled a ten inch version from the stacks, with all the original tracks, instead of the more common 12" with a couple of non-Christmas songs shoehorned into the mix.  You do get a nice cover with Capitol's well-known early picture frame edging!  This is The Voices Of Walter Schumann-Christmas In The Air! (Capitol 10" 33 RPM H9016, Mono, 1951).  And in case you were wondering, yes, Jester Hairston is here with The Voices!
