Is it possible to listen to Christmas carols for 2h 45' and then repeat? Indeed it is, with these three albums. Under the baton of their last three principal conductors, the Boston Pops and the choruses will fill your place with the joyful music of 37 great tracks and then, possibly you'll repeat. The albums are:



Arthur Fiedler - A Christmas Festival (1969)
John Williams - We Wish You A Merry Christmas (1981)
Keith Lockhart - Holiday Pops (1998)



Edit: The third one is now upgraded to FLAC and MP3 320 kbps, with no changes in the audio formats of the first two -just minor tagging details, or logs- and the inclusion of a new set of scans in the Fiedler album, added also as a separate download. They're all great, but my favorite these days is Holiday Pops, with the glorious start of "Gloria". It previously was 192 kbps...


But I would recommend it even at 24 kbps, to at least have a good time by listening to the beautiful "Christmas Waltzes" medley or the sung version of "Sleigh Ride" by Tanglewood Festival Chorus. Oh, and those children in "Christmas Time Is Here"... delightful too. And, and, and... :)

So, if you didn't behave well enough this year and can't get more than one, try that. Here, an image (https://imgur.com/a/7QvK1qe" target="_blank) of the playlist, and below, the download links for the 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org) archives:

Thank you, my friend.
I wish you a Happy New Year!

Thank you, kooke!

The MP3 album of Fielding is mostly corrupt files. Can that be fixed? i used to have all three of these on LP.

Downloading it now to check it out. In the mean time, can you tell me more? When does the error show up and which is the text of it?

Have in mind that the .m3u playlist on the root folder is meant to have easy access to all the tracks of the three albums, so, if you try to play it without having decompressed the other two inside that one, you will see errors for the tracks of Williams and Lockhart. If that's the case and you don't plan to download the other two albums, just delete the "upper" playlist and use the .m3u inside of the Fiedler folder.

When I tried to unzip the file I only got 3 or 5 files to open. The rest say they're damaged. I've downloaded the folder 3 times now. Same result with the same files every time. I had no problem with the other 2 folders.

That's strange. I've downloaded the file and it decompressed well and the files are also OK. Is it possible that you use a Mac? Other users have had problems with 7-zip archives and "Stuffit Expander", but "Keka", available in the 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org) page, worked better for them. What application and version do you use to extract the files?

I'm uploading a zip archive version of the first album.

I'm on a Windows 7 laptop and used Winrar to open. It's the only file I've ever had trouble with.

The error is "Cannot open" then the file name.

Will the Zip be on the first post when it goes up?

Here it is the MP3 version of the first album in a normal zip file: 3BPCA1-AF-M.zip | Uloz.to (http://ulozto.net/xCboP2Kw/3bpca1-af-m-zip)

Anyone else having problems with the same 7z file while using 7-zip or any of the unofficial alternatives on their page, please let me know. PM is ok.

I think it worked that time. I need to play them to make sure. Thanks!!

You're welcome. Those files were compressed from the contents of the 7z, so they must be exactly the same. One of them is actually another archive, a .zip file with log and .cue files, and that's something that the other two albums don't have. I suspect it had something to do with your Winrar's confusion .

Thanks so much!

Thanks for these, will keep them for next Christmas.
