Christmas with Chet Atkins 1961
Posted: Thu Dec 12, 2013 12:12 pm
It's not Christmas until I hear my Chet Christmas CDs/records. Just played the record from 1961, which is different from the CD version and that got me to thinking. When the Christmas with Chet Atkins record was released as a CD several years ago I remember reading how they had gone back to the original tapes to produce the CD but the old tapes were in such bad shape that there are some irregularities on some of the CD tracks and it explained that is also why they had to use a different take than was originally used on the record on a couple of the songs. I first had thought there was something on the CD liner notes about it, but I don't find it there. Then I thought I probably read it here on the Chet Board, but I wasn't able to find it in the archives--which doesn't mean it is not there, just that I couldn't find it. This is driving me crazy now. I don't remember where I read it. Anyone else remember this and where I could find it now? Just wanted to read about it again. Thanks in advance for any info on this.
