While sorting and trying to figure out what all I have on this dreary
Saturday morning, came across a record I do not recall ever playing. It's
a TOPS record, a 78, with 3 songs on each side. The selections are
Christmas songs. Hope someone can give me some info on it. The label
says 78rpm RX1012, vocal & Orch, 6 hits on each record. Only identification
of artists is TOPS orchestra and choristers. The selections are: Jingle
Bells, Santa Claus is Flying through the Sky, The first Noel, O Little Town
of Bethlehem, Away In A Manger and Good King Wenceslaus. It's a 10 inch,
grooves separate the 3 selections on each side. It would seem to be a full
orchestra and several singers, male and female. Each song is about 2 and
1/2 minutes long, don't recall ever getting this much music off one side
of a 10 inch 78. I recall some conversation some time ago about such
records, but don't remember much about it.
