Sun Ra's Christmas song is among his most normal AND most deranged works. Some time from 1956-1960, Ra produced & played harmonium on this song he co-wrote for unknown Chicago teen doo-wop group The Qualities. Pretty sure the woodblock player wasn't allowed to listen to playback during recording. A+
