The Night Before Christmas/ When The Saints Go Marching In

What a great Christmas item this is! Satchmo treats us to a terrific reading of the beloved Christmas Eve poem, while the flip finds him leading his jazz band through a rousing rendition of the Holiday Christmas classic. The back of the sleeve has a nice narrative about the making of these recordings. Note the yellow sticker on the front of the picture sleeve: As recently as 1971, the promise of getting a deal for buying a carton of cigarettes was still a successful sales pitch!
