Produced by Judy Collins and Ethel Raim Dunson, May 1967 for Women Strike For Peace - Cover illustration by Kaethe Kollwitz, Mother with Children, 1932

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

These probably will show up in many guises. These Christmas 'Special Projects' releases remind me of a CBS Special Projects Christmas LP from many years ago. It was issued both as "Christmas in New York" and "Christmas in California." I picked up the latter a few years ago at a garage sale and I thought I had something new. I was surprised when the cuts were identical to the New York one my folks had bought in probably the early to mid '60's. The covers were totally different! The Ansel Adams photo of Yosemite in the snow was worth the garage-sale price!
