Christmas At Garden State Plaza

Blake Productions ‎ LPM/S 669

I love Christmas music performed by brass bands, and this quintet is very good, so I'm posting it again for 2016. This was a thrift shop find (99¢), in great shape. Unfortunately, the pressing is noisy.

Side 1 features The Festival Brass Quintet, ‎and Side 2, The Riverside Church Carillon.

Presumably this record was sold at the Garden State Plaza shopping center, or perhaps it was given away with a purchase. It is undated, but if I had to guess, I'd say 1972 ±5 years.

Technics SL-7, Sonus SPM-4, Pro-Ject Phono Box S, harman/kardon CDR-2.
