Candles Long Ago


Candles Long Ago is the 14th album by popular children's entertainers Sharon, Lois & Bram, originally released in 1993. It is the first, and only, Chanukah album produced by the trio. Unlike other Sharon, Lois & Bram albums, Candles Long Ago is a miniature album featuring only eleven songs, of which many appear on their previous album Candles, Snow & Mistletoe and one from their second album, Smorgasbord. O It was sold as part of the Sharon, Lois & Bram mini collection at a cheaper price than the trio's regular full-length albums.

Releases

The Canadian edition released in 1994 under Elephant Records only featured seven of the trio's songs, which all appeared on the trio's earlier Christmas & Holiday recording, Candles, Snow & Mistletoe. Later that year, Candles Long Ago was picked up by the American Drive Entertainment and released in the United States. The American version, however, featured a total of eleven songs, adding a specially recorded song, Oy Vey to the album as well as three previously recorded songs: Tzena, Tzena from the trio's Sing A to Z recording. Chirri Bim from their 1979, Smorgasbord and Old King Cole/Der Rebbe Elimelech from their Mainly Mother Goose album.
