Side One
A Barbra Streisand Program
Side Two
All the record labels had divisions that exploited their catalogs in various ways.
Columbia Records, through its Columbia Special Products subsidiary, released this special Christmas album featuring Barbra Streisand and other recording artists from the Columbia stable.
Maxwell House coffee was the corporate sponsor in the U.S. (Canada Dry in Canada), and the albums were sold for $1.00 in grocery stores featuring big displays of the album — and Maxwell House coffee!
Streisand's Christmas songs were further exploited by Columbia Records. From 1961 to 1977, The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company released a Christmas LP of holiday songs sung by popular artists. The albums were sold at Goodyear stores and at Richfield (later ARCO) gas stations.
