While we're still listening to kiddie records from 1949 containing "Jingle Bells," we come across this offering from Young Peoples Records entitled "Jingle Bells And Other Songs For Winter Fun" and performed by Gene Lowell:
I found that pretty interesting and another record that kids of the time would have liked, especially those in the recommended 2-6 years age group.
So, I think this was the first issue of the recording and is from 1949, but it was later reissued on the Children's Record Guild, which I understand was kind of like a book of the month club but it was records for kids.
Here's the label for the 1953 reissue:
Gene Lowell did a lot of work with choral groups and was musical director of the Longines Symphonette, purveyors of classical music radio shows and many multi-LP sets back in the day.
Here's a cut from his 1958 Christmas LP on Warner Brothers Records:
Interesting, but not really my thing. Once again, is it wrong that I prefer his work on kiddie records?
