Here I am, drawing this season out as long as possible. Today's share is by
Elaine And Derek And The Rita Williams Singers, and the record features It's Christmas b/w The Christmas Story (Veejay 7" 45 RPM VJ 415, Mono, 1961). This appears to have been a recording that originated in England on the Parlophone label right before the Beatles signed up. I wonder if George Martin had any connection with this recording? And maybe it's not a coincidence that the first Beatle LP to be released in the US came out on the VeeJay label. I suspect they had some sort of agreement. It didn't sell right away, and eventually The Beatles got shuttled off to Capitol in the US, and the rest, as they say, is history. None of that has anything to do with this record, I'm just looking for stuff to talk about. Enjoy!
