A good so- lution for the guy or gal who likes long-hair music is a book called ‘How to Build A Record Library” by Paul Affelder (E.) P, Dutton). There are scads of good tra- ditional Christmas records availablo for gifts. Decca has reissued Bing Crosby's “Merry Christmas” album with the traditional favorites “Adeste Fidelis.” “Jingle Bells” and al- so a “Twas the Night Before Christmas” album with Fred Waring and his Glee Club in- éluding “The First Noel,” “O | Little Town of Bethlehem.” | Another Waring album, Song of Christmas,” “The | tells the | | story of the Nativity in Christ- | mas songs, carols and Biblical | verses, One album with Dick Liebert at | the organ of Radio City Music! Hall, “Sing and Rejoice Christmas Carols,” (RCA Victor) is a collec- | tion of 16 of the best known} Christmas songs including “It; Came-Upon the Midnight Clear,” | “While Shepherds Watched Their | Flocks.” Other Christmas records are: Gene Autry’s “An Old-Fashioned | Tree” and “Here Comes Santa| Claus” (Columbia); “Silent Night” | (Noche de Paz) and “The First) Noel” (La Primera Navidad) | (Capitol). This record combines | Andy Russell’s baritone with or- gan afid string accompaniment. » The biggest news in gift rec- ords this year, is of course the quantity of classics which have beeti recorded. Columbia offers Humperdinck’s “Hansel and Gretel” (the first complete op- eta ever to be recorded at the Metropolitan), “The Adven- tures of Oliver Twist and Fa- gin”: Basil Rathbone narrating Prokofiev's ‘Peter and the Wolf”; “Alice in Wonderland.” For young kids there are “Jack and the Beanstalk,” ‘‘Cinderel- la” and “Puss in Boots.” Movie stars narrate many of Decca’s offerings. There are Thomas Mitchell—“Treasure Is- land”; Charles Laughton—“Moby Dick”; Ingrid Bergman—“The Pied Piper of Hamlin”; Ronald Colman as Scrooge in Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” and Walter Huston as “Rip Van Winkle”, the lovable old hero of the Rip leg- end. Jazz fans will find a full mar- ket as always. Some selections (RCA Victor) are: | Benny Goodman's “Let's Dance” album (eight selections | which include many of his most | famous numbers made dufing | the golden era of his band in- cluding “King Porter,” “I've Found A New Baby.” “Some- times I'm Happy”). Single rec- | ords include ‘Singin’ The Blues” with Louis Armstrong, Mildred Bailey, Jack Teagar- den and Ethel Waters. Stutan.
