About The Record:

Christmas Organ and Chimes, by Alexander Goodrich, originally released in 1956 and reissued in 1964 by Caroleer Records, features a collection of traditional Christmas carols performed on organ with chimes, capturing a nostalgic mid-20th-century holiday sound. The tracklist includes classics like Joy to the World, Silent Night, and O Holy Night, showcasing Goodrich's skillful organ playing in a serene, festive style. The album, also known as Organ and Chimes Christmas Favorites in some releases, was distributed by Diplomat Records and is notable for its multiple cover variations and enduring appeal among vinyl collectors. No specific tracks from the album are documented as hit singles, as it primarily served as a seasonal compilation rather than a chart-driven release. Historically, the album reflects the popularity of organ-based Christmas music in the 1950s and 1960s, a period when such recordings were staples in American households for holiday ambiance.
