A Christmas Album (Dolphin Blue Vinyl)

A Christmas Album was originally released in October 1967. rBarbra Streisand recorded four Christmas songs in London on June 25, 1966 while she was in London performing Funny Girl at the Prince of Wales Theatre. rAccording to producer Ettore Stratta, Barbra insisted on different interpretations without traditional arrangements for these songs. Streisand recorded the rest of the album in September 1966 while she was in Hollywood filming the Funny Girl movie.  rOf the variety of both secular and religious songs included on the album, the standout track is Barbra’s “new” adaptation of the classic holiday song “Jingle Bells?” with the “?” added by Barbra! rThe track captures Barbra’s freewheeling vocal complete with jazzy dramatics.rLong out of print on vinyl, A Christmas Album vinyl configuration is once again available and it includes a bonus track, “Gounod’s Ave Maria” (English). This track was included on a limited-edition holiday Starbucks sampler which is no longer available.rDolphin Blue Coloured Vinyl
