The 33RPM album is from 1973, full of Christmas music by the Naval Academy Band, various contingents of the U.S. Navy Band and the Bluejacket's Choir from Great Lakes.
One fleet band is represented: the Atlantic Fleet Band, Norfolk, Virginia, playing "Sleigh Ride."
Here it is, in its monophonic glory.
Does anyone remember recording this? Who's playing? Who's conducting?

B4 my time but it brings back ol' memories of the Christmas season B4 going on leave in Newport. How many gigs can we put in our xmas stocking? Happy Holidays to all.
Ah yes.... at least 3 weeks of playing for Christmas parties every night. Free food and booze. Toward the end I would always end up drinking water or coke. At least, we were spared coming in for "colors".
