Description

Discover a piece of music history with this classic 78 RPM single by The King Cole Trio, featuring the iconic Nat "King" Cole. This record showcases two timeless tracks: the beloved holiday standard "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You)" on Side A, with King Cole's distinctive vocals, and "Laguna Mood" on Side B.

Released by Capitol Records, this 10-inch shellac record, catalog number 311, is a quintessential example of 1940s jazz and pop music. The King Cole Trio's sophisticated sound and Nat King Cole's smooth delivery made this a popular release, especially "The Christmas Song," which has become a perennial holiday favorite. This pressing is an essential addition for collectors of vintage jazz, Capitol Records history, or Nat King Cole's early works, offering an authentic listening experience from the era of shellac records.
