The Living Voices, together with The Living Strings and several other groups with 'Living' in their names, were studio musicians brought together by RCA producer Ethel Gabriel who recorded albums targeted at an older demographic. The final CD of Real Gone's mega-Christmas release slate brings together two Christmas LPs from The Living Voices : Sing Christmas Music/The Little Drummer Boy. Several other Christmas cuts have been added, including a previously unreleased track from 1959: 'Winter Love.' During the peak of his career in 19, Vinton recorded a Christmas EP and album for Epic, both of which are on this release. Another complete collection featuring a beloved 1960s artist is Bobby Vinton's A Very Merry Christmas - The Compete Epic Christmas Collection.

His lone Columbia Christmas LP is joined by the few yuletide tunes he made for singles to complete the CD. Dean may be best known today for breakfast sausages, but he had a thriving recording career 50 years ago. Anchored by his 1968 album That Christmas Feeling, the package is rounded out by several other holiday tracks from singles and compilations he made for Capitol which have finally been brought together in one package.Īlso in classic country style is Jimmy Dean's Christmas Card - The Complete Columbia Christmas Recordings.

Next comes Glen Campbell's Complete Capitol Christmas Recordings. It also boasts numerous non-LP singles, guest appearances and other one-off tracks from over the years. The Complete Christmas Collection 1958-2010 rounds up all of Mathis' Christmas albums for the Columbia and Mercury/Global labels released during that period. Real Gone's biggest release is the 3-disc set devoted to the yuletide recordings of Johnny Mathis. All seven releases feature new liner notes by our very own Joe Marchese! Real Gone's remaining five titles run through a variety of genres while all containing festive holiday music. We've already told you this morning about our two Second Disc Records releases: Jim Nabors - The Complete Columbia Christmas Recordings and an expanded edition of Lynn Anderson's The Christmas Album.
