I picked up four LPs from the Sing Children Sing series at the thrift shop: USA, British Isles, France and Austria. They were either new and sealed, or open and near new. None are on CD.
USA was quite good, but the British Isles features a larger chorus, recorded in a way that renders the voices less distinct, consequently the singers are hard to understand at times. Still, several classic songs are given good treatment.
From the LP: "The Ambrosian Children's Choir (trained by June Keyte) and Ambrosian Players • Music arranged and conducted by John McCarthy"
The Ash Grove
Road to the Isles
London Pride
All Through the Night
These albums were my FAVORITE when I was little! There was one song on this record that scared me to death, though. Something about a horse? The wind? The children would sing lower and slower at the scary part. I would run from the room every time it would play!
ReplyDeleteWidecombe Fair - I sing the Jan Stewer line in the song on this recording!
DeleteI'm glad you found them here.
