Firestone Christmas Album  

Thank you so much for the information. I am even looking forward to seeing this album. After searching for it for so long last night, my curiosity is up and alert. I am hoping that you will remember to get back to me as soon as you have found it. Thanks again.

Good new and bad! I found a Firestone album and it is only Julie Andrews. I am pretty sure I have an album like the one you describe but that one does not have a red bow on it, and I have to go looking for that one still.

I will attempt to upload a photo of the album cover asap.

The photo is uploaded. I am not sure how I can add it to this discussion though. So you can view it in my profile.

This is so sweet of you. But she says that Julie Andrews is not on the album. This is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Thank you so much for your help and if you come up with anything else, please let me know. I will check out all the information that you shared.

Oh....ohhhh!! I now realise what you mean. You're looking for an album that didn't have Julie Andrews on it. Ok. I think there is a website that might help. If you type in Google "Firestone" there's a website domain: FirestoneChristmasAlbum which offers all except volume 1. If it was done in the 60s most likely it could be somewhere between volume 2 or 3 or higher, because the Julie Andrews version was Vol 5 and it was done in 1966. I am sorry I couldn't help you. But I think that website should be able to provide you with what you need. You can call them at 1-866-357-2054. I think they offer the LP and the CD version of it, as far as I can tell from the website, so you probably just need to confirm with them which volume you need. Hope it all works out!

That is really nice Trinihd that yu are going to do that you gave her quite a bit of information about what she was looking for.

I'm glad to help! I hope you do find the right album on that site.

Well, unfortunatley I haven't fared any better so far. I looked on Rhapsody and they didn't have anything and then I tried searching on Google under 'Firestone Christmas without Julie Andrews'. I am going to try Yahoo for you too.

Thank you so much. I am starting to give up. I have told my friend to call her sister and ask her about the album, but she has not done that. She claims that her sister has a much better memory than she. But that she is two years younger. Unitl she calls her sister, I am done looking.

Thank you very much for the information. This is the first I have heard about Bing Crosby being a part of it. It is so funny because a psychiatrist told me once that a lot of Jewish people made Christmas music, even though they do not believe in Jesus. He said that Bing Crosby was one of those.

Everything is fine. Thanks for stopping by to say hi. How are you doing these days?

You are welcome, if I can't answer a discussion of yous I will still stop by, and give my input. Ok, I will chat later.

Thank you so much, but we looked on Ebay several times already.

Thank you so much for the link, but we looked through all of those already.
