The Return Of The Skiers

I hadn't planned on throwing up any old shares this year, but this LP crossed my Facebook feed, and I remembered sharing it at some point in 2008. It's been somewhat scarce since then, possibly because it's not really a Christmas album, and because one of the tracks skips, I hate sharing something like that. I need to revisit this one at some point and see if I can fix that. I don't think I've ever seen another copy, but I have learned a few tricks to get a skip to play through, so maybe...  Reading the liner notes, I see that The Yodeling Guides are credited as Fred Barrie And Tony Hartenstein. I don't think I noticed that the first time around. And I certainly didn't notice the Pete King credit for arranging. I'm betting he did more than arrange this though, I suspect this was a studio assemblage that he put together for this one LP only. But I can't prove that, or course. This is an old rip so the bitrate isn't that good, and like I said, it skips in one song, so don't put that track in your playlist if you can help it.  Back from oblivion, this is The Blazers& The Yodelin' Guides-Track!
