Shell's Wonderful World Of Music Volume II by The Longines Symphonette Society. Beginning with these posts, the MP3 files are done at 320 KB instead of 128 KB so they should sound much better but in doing so the file size increases and therefore the zipfile will take longer to d/l. Some of the songs on this set are from Volume I and are also in Volume III. I am including a link for Volume I here so you don't have to go back through my blog to find it.

The inner artwork is the same for all three volumes so I didn't include it in this post. The only difference is the section for the track listing.

Hi Bob, You are very welcome. I have a few other Longines Symphonette Society Christmas Album Sets, but they basically use the same songs that are on the Shell's series just in a different order. I was hoping that there would be different songs.

I wish record companies wouldn't do this. They release new albums with a different title making people think they are getting something different and they just use the same songs from previously released albums.

I may just post the artwork from the few Christmas Albums I have from Longines Symphonette Society at some point.
