Ferrante & Teicher - We Wish You A Merry Christmas United Artist Records UAS-6536 Released in 1966. This particular post is from 2 separate albums as a couple tracks on the original album kept skipping. I used a reissue that Mistletoe Records MLP-1218 released in an abridged form. 3 songs from the original are not on the Mistletoe Record, but all 11 songs are in this post in the correct order. There are a couple very slight glitches in a couple songs, but it really doesn't effect the music. (I use the counterweight at a heavier weight than the cartridge and stylus on the tonearm so the stylus doesn't press into the grooves very hard and found that the music sounds much better then when I have the cartridge heaver than the counterweight.) There was a very slight warp in the record (Probably because the album wasn't stored correctly before I purchased it) so the stylus moves up and down a little but doesn't lift off the record.
As for the artwork. I'm not 100 percent on the Holly and Ribbon and Candy Canes that are on the bottom on the back of the jacket. I've seen just the artwork for the section with the Holly, Ribbon and Candy Canes on another BLOG and it is in color. I just can't remember who's BLOG I saw it on. Also, there is a typo on both of the album jackets where it has H. Oncrati instead of H. Oronati.
