Side B includes a selection of cherished Christmas carols performed by the Canterbury Choir under Macklin Marrow’s direction, such as \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eDeck the Halls\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eGod Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen\u003c\/span\u003e, and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eO Holy Night\u003c\/span\u003e. The album, initially released in 1947 on shellac and later on vinyl in 1950, became a holiday tradition, re-released multiple times due to its popularity and Barrymore’s iconic portrayal. Its historical significance lies in cementing Barrymore’s association with Scrooge, a role he cherished, and its contribution to the mid-20th-century revival of Christmas traditions. No specific tracks from the album are noted as hit singles, as its prominence stems from the narrated story and collective carols rather than individual chart success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793699402009,"sku":"CH-112","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-lionel_barrymore-a_christmas_carol_beloved_hymns__carols.jpg?v=1783554331","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/ch-112","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
