'' A Christmas Story - An Axe, An Apple and a Buckskin Jacket '' is a LP album by Bing Crosby made for children by Golden Records in 1957. The Arthur Norman Choir and Orchestra provide support. The album has been reissued by various record companies sometimes with different titles such as “How Lovely Is Christmas” and even as a cardboard record by Bing Crosby Phonocards Inc. This took the form of a 7” cardboard disc at 33 1/3 revs which was issued as a publicity item for Goodyear Tyres and was issued free at Goodyear Service Stations. The album was issued on CD by Drive Entertainment in 1998 with catalogue No. PUR1214. ==Background== In the fall and winter of 1957, Golden Records issued a number of new children’s records and repackaged some of its steady favorites in a variety of speeds. The general trend was toward the long-playing record, LP, for the older child nearer 10 than 5, as this was more convenient and had greater fidelity. The small 78’s and 45’s were suitable for the younger child running his own machine fitfully—children seemed to enjoy changing the record as much as playing it. Bing Crosby was enlisted to read and sing four of the stories and in addition to ''A Christmas Story'' there were Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Never Be Afraid and Jack B. Nimble – A Mother Goose Fantasy. ''A Christmas Story'' was an original piece of work with book and lyrics by Arnold Sundgaard and music by Alec Wilder. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Christmas Story - An Axe, An Apple and a Buckskin Jacket」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
