Anyone familiar with older recordings knows very well that it is most difficult to determine the actual date of any recording.
Due to the multiple labels, and the subsequent frequent compilations or reissues, the identification of a certain piece is often practically impossible.
I think this is worst with the WSK but the PCCB are not far behind.
As I methodically go through the ripping process of LPs and EPs I came across some old recordings of the PCCB.
I think I have enough stuff for a few "snowy compilations".
Some of the recordings, due to their less than good condition, are not worthy of a post in this honoured group but I thought that I could share some of the tracks from this latest rip.
The tracks come from a dozen recordings, LPs and EPs. In all these the choir was directed by Monsignor Maillet who died in 1963.
As far as I can determine they can go back to the early 1950s. I checked the many CD anthologies and reissues in my collection that have been published through the years, specially to mark the 100th anniversary of the choir and none of the tracks in this post seem to have been reissued as part of these CDs.
A couple of works do appear in some CDs but I'm pretty sure these are different versions of the same work ("La Nuit" is a good example). I don't trust only my musical ear (!!!) but there is often a marked difference in the time of play.
Of course because of the nature of this compilation, no covers are available. However for those so inclined I'm adding a few of pictures that could easily be used for covers.
