HOLIDAY FOR SWING...SETH MCFARLANE.....REPUBLIC RECORDS.
tracks played....
A Marshmellow world / Moonlight in Vermont / Mele Kalikimaka  / Let it snow.

Good ol fashioned Big Band backings to Bublelike singing. Some strange festive choices chosen
for this album but they are well sung and imaginatively orchestrated. 4 stars. ****.

COLUMBIA...REAL GONE MUSIC...SONY.
Tracks played....
White Chriistmas / Hurry home for Christmas / Sleigh ride / On this Noel / He's gonna
take away our Christmas / The Christmas Waltz / Winter wonderland.

There is nothing finer that to hear Robert Goulet's rich baritone voice singing Christmas Carols.
There are the other Christmas Classics as well but they are not as successful. 29 Tracks is
wonderful value and there are a few little quirky surprises along the way. In all , a great 60s
selection of Yuletide classics, finely sung. ****.
