A. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CL 1195 CL 1195 Columbia Guaranteed High Fidelity Lp MERRY CHRISTMAS JOHNNY MATHIS with Percy Faith and His Orchestra What Child Is This? (Greensleeves) Merry Christmas ! These are some of my favorite hymns and carols, sung especially for you during this joyous season, and I hope you'll enjoy them. Christmas has always been a time for music-a home should be full of it. And some of the most beautiful music I know is contained in these songs. They are all wonderful expressions of the spirit of Christmas, and I've tried to convey that feeling in my singing. With all best wishes for this glorious season, Johnny Mathis This Columbia High Fidelity recording is scientifically designed to play with the highest quality of reproduction on the phonograph of your choice, new or old. If you are the owner of a new stereophonic system, this record will play with even more brilliant true-to-life fidelity. In short, you can purchase this record with no fear of its becoming obsolete in the future. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CL 1195 Columbia Guaranteed High Fidelity Lp MERRY CHRISTMAS JOHNNY MATHIS "Columbia" Lp Marcas Reg.
