It's a strange thing to think that his original 1957 album, considered the best selling Christmas album of all time, had at one time gone out of print. The geniuses at RCA must have figured if they ditched the hymns and added two new songs, "If Every Day Was Like Christmas" and " Mama Liked The Roses" they'd be able to replicate the success of the original release. So they put it out on their budget label Camden and released it in mono (I'm guessing the original recordings were in mono, so no harm no foul). Considering I'd never seen it before, I'm guessing the classic red album is still the preferred version. Nostalgia is a strange thing. While I never had the original on vinyl, I did get the CD thirty years ago and that's the version I'm most familiar with - hymns and all. Still, for a buck finding this was pretty cool. I have to admit there were several copies in the bin some in truly horrific shape. I kinda split the middle and swappe...
A place where I just blather on about shit that I either miss, or am excited about. Or I could just be deliberately trying to waste your time. I generally really don't know what I'm talking about. Sometimes I do. Sometimes this is like a stream of consciousness brain dump. I like to think of it as a reaction video, without the video ... mostly though it's just me rambling ... it's meanderambling. #oldenoughtoforget
