Merry Christmas (CD)

Archive holiday release from the Folk quartet. Deemed by Brothers Four leader Bob Flick himself as one of his favorite recordings released by legendary group, 1966's MERRY CHRISTMAS brought together a truly extraordinary collection of talent. Besides the Brothers themselves-arguably one of the top five groups of the folk era-the album featured vocal arrangements by Milt Okun, orchestrations were by Peter Matz and engineering at Columbia Records' hallowed 30th Street Studio was Frank Laico. Weaving it all together was the great producer Teo Macero. Little wonder, then, that this album is acknowledged as a pop-folk classic. This expanded edition reissue includes the Brothers' 1961 single 'Christmas Bells' B&W 'What Child Is This' plus two unreleased tracks, 'Go Tell It on the Mountain,' and a completely different take on 'God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen.' with notes by folk guru Tom Pickles featuring quotes from all four Brothers, added photos and a beautiful re-mastering job by Maria Triana at Sony's Battery Studios in New York, this release of MERRY CHRISTMAS will make your holiday merry indeed.
