When the Twentieth-Century Fox Records contracted Harry Simeone to make a Christmas album in 1958, he assembled a group he called "The Harry Simeone Chorale" and searched for recording material. After being introduced to an obscure song by producer and credited song co-author Henry Onorati, titled Carol of the Drum (originally composed by Katherine Kennicott Davis in 1941 and arranged to present form by Jack Halloran), Simeone changed the title to The Little Drummer Boy and recorded it under that title for his album Sing We Now of Christmas. He received joint authorship-and-composition credit for the album, although he did not actually write or compose the song. The single The Little Drummer Boy quickly became extremely popular and scored on the U.S. music charts from 1958 to 1962.

We DO NOT necessarily make note of, or take into consideration, any visual imperfections that do not affect the sound while being played on our record players (your record player may give slightly different results). If you would like a visual description of the vinyl itself, please ask, and we will be happy to provide one for you.
