As a frequent crate digger, I see a lot of records. Enough records that I tend to be able to pick up patterns. And one of those patterns is a popular label. One such label is called Musical Heritage Society. You can pick out their records easily because they all tend to be formatted the same with black & white covers, lots of open space, maybe a woodcut image on the front, and generally some classical content that is of little interest to me. I have a fairly large collection of them anyway, all Christmas of course, because I tend to buy most of the cheap Christmas albums I see if I don't think I have them already. But when I found this record, I didn't realize until later that it was part of this label's releases. (And as frequently happens with these things, after I recorded it for sharing, I found another copy in the archives...) I also didn't recognize the artist as being anyone I might know, but it turns out he was involved in a much later Christmas record you may have seen around,
Turned On Christmas. Anyhow, this is an interesting record on many levels, so give it a listen and I think you'll enjoy it. This is
