About The Record:

Christmas Sing Along (XFM-58) released in 1959 by Pirouette Records, features the Pirouette Orchestra and Chorus performing a collection of traditional Christmas carols and holiday songs, including Deck The Halls, Jingle Bells, and White Christmas. As a reissue of the earlier XFM-39, it was part of Pirouette’s budget-friendly stereo series, capitalizing on the rising popularity of stereo recordings during the late 1950s. The album holds historical significance as an example of Pirouette’s strategy under Synthetic Plastics Company to produce affordable holiday music for mass consumption, reflecting the era’s growing commercial interest in Christmas albums. While the album itself did not produce chart-topping singles, it includes well-known songs like Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, which were popular in other artists’ renditions during the period. Its straightforward arrangements and accessible price point made it a staple for holiday gatherings in its time.
