This is something different and very rare.
Of course a rarity is not automatically good, but anyone can judge by himself.
This post comes from a tape recording of radio broadcasts from around Christmas 1984.
There was an exchange of Carols between Radio-Canada and several European public radios and these are what I took from the tape.
I edited the comments (or most of them).
Several of these choirs are unknown to me and I haven't been able to find too much about them on the Internet.
Some carols I could identify thanks to my database when I succeeded in picking up one or two words.
As for the others maybe someone else can help.
It is not always great music but I hope you can still enjoy.
Obviously no covers were available but I include a track list I made up.
I'll just add this info.
Tracks 01 to 03 come from Austria,track 04 from what was then East Germany (with some kind of old music clock mixed in with the choral part).
Tracks 05 and 06 are from Belgium, track 07 obviously from France and tracks 08 and 09 are from Norway.
I just presumed that the soloist came from that Solvguttene choir which has some kind of close connection to the Norwegian public radio.
Track 10 is from was then West Germany.
Track 11 is from Poland and it features a Poznan choir but does not identify which of the two well known Poznan choirs is recorded.
Finally track 12 is from the French speaking part of Switzerland.
