Track B2 an Eighteenth Century English carol based upon an earlier French carol.
Track B3 composed in 1951 by Jazz trumpeter Alfred S. Burt [1921 - 1954]. Some Children See Him was one of fifteen carols written as gifts for friends. The piece was originally a song with lyrics by Wilha Hutson expressing the unconditional love present within children.
This recording was made direct to two-track using a Studer A 80 VU MK III half-inch recorder at thirty inches per second. No noise reduction was employed. KEF speakers were used for audio monitoring and referencing on this recording.
