Similarly to what I did on the 7th with 7" records and on the 10th with 10" records, I'm going to share a few Christmas 12" records. You're probably thinking that most of the records I've shared this season have been 12" in diameter, and that's true, but that's not what I'm sharing here. These are 12" records that only feature a song or two, sort of really big singles. Because there's not a lot of music being squeezed onto them, they can be cut with a wider, deeper groove that can make the music sound a little bit better when played loud in a club. That's not to say that these are club records, but that's sort of where they come from originally. I'm gonna start with
The Ballroom Orchestra-
Swinging Christmas With The Ballroom Orchestra (Star (Canada) 12" 45 RPM STX 106, Stereo, 1983). This is what they thought swing music was supposed to sound like in 1983, I guess. Enjoy!
