Description
The barely audible breath before “I’m dreaming” on White Christmas still prickles the skin. Bing Crosby’s Christmas Gems arrives as a red vinyl LP, a tidy selection of the Decca-era holiday sides that made December sound like home. You can hear the Ken Darby Singers breathe behind him, with John Scott Trotter’s orchestra keeping the sway unhurried. I’ll Be Home for Christmas carries that bittersweet catch on the word “dreams” like only Bing could. Silent Night is rendered with hushed choir and a steady organ glow, calm as snowfall. Sequencing flows sensibly from fireside carols to lighter croons, so you can flip it on and let the room settle. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Bing Crosby records online with us. This pressing opens up the space around the strings and voices, and the sleeve art reproduces cleanly without the usual blur. File it beside Nat King Cole for crooner warmth, but Crosby leans more on choir-and-orchestra glow than jazz inflection. It’s perfect for a small Melbourne gathering where you want tradition without schmaltz. Light surface noise stays out of the way, and the tempo lift on the closing choruses keeps the room buoyant. Perfect for anyone building a record collection, buy online or in store today.
