This recording might be one of the rarer of the 2 male artists that recorded this Ron Grainer Australian seasonal song. Patrick O'Hagan's had accompaniment by Grainer, but as to wether or not this O'Duffy version also had his backing, remains somewhat a mystery, as the 45rpm gives no details on the label sadly. Both O'Hagan's and O'Duffy's discs were released in 1960, the latter in Australia only. This O'Duffy version has a chorale backing, which is unusual for a Grainer arrangement, if indeed it is by him? The recording here on Youtube is rather distorted somewhat, owing to the vinyl surface of the record being scratched to pieces unfortunately. But owing to its rareness compensates for this. I hope fans of Ron Grainer's work and fans of Michael O'Duffy enjoy this seasonal offering, and on that note I would like to wish all of my subscribers A Very Happy Christmas and Good Health in 2021. Thank you all for your support. I look forward to uploading more rarities here on Youtube in the coming new year.
