Major Christmas
I think it's high time I shared some more chimes with you! I've been slacking the past couple of days. Here's one I grabbed for the great cover, and it appears to be a label that's more known for...

ExtraORGANary!
Speaking of organ records with great covers, here's a little gem I shared out back in 2010 that I don't think has come back since. I even remember finding this record at a Goodwill here in Sarasota...

Surprised Santa
Is it just me, or is that an extra creepy Santa on the cover of this LP? I don't know why it looks as if his eyes are about to pop out of his head, but I suspect it's because he's been watching you...

Singapore!
From Mexico we head halfway around the world to Singapore for no good reason other than it's next on my list and really far away. And it's a record that's not part of the Capitol Of The World series,...

Nash (Not Bridges)
One of my very favorite shares from 2008, and now very badly in need of a remaster (but I don't know where I put it), this is Johnny Nash-Prince Of Peace (JAD JS/1001, Stereo, 1969). Love that...
View ArticleMeanwhile, Over at Lee's...
Just wanted to bring the attention of both of my visitors that there is a very special share over at Lee's blog, Music You (Possibly) Won't! It's a 1940 set from Columbia Records that tells of one...

Glass Christmas
Up next, a re-encoded share from 2012 that features songs from around the world. And they're all performed on the Eighteenth Century Glass Instrument! Is it a glass 'armonica? Is it a broken...

School Is In
Sometimes I can't explain why I buy a record. It's rare I know what kind of music I'm going to find inside, so I have to go by the sleeve. This one had a very bland sleeve that I had to look at a...

Bert's Back
Another oldie, this time from 2008, one that hasn't seen the light of day since then, and didn't get any comments at the time. I hope it goes over better this time. At least it has a nice cover,...

Home Christmas
Another from the deep dark recesses of 2008, ten years ago now, this is one of those budget albums that's wrapped in a great cover. There's something to be said for these beautiful covers that contain...

England!
Maybe the most boring stop on my round-the-world Christmas trip is this one. Jolly Old England, the country with which we probably share more customs than any other. Oh, sure, there are differences,...

Snow, Beautiful Snow
So much stuff in the archives that I want to get out here in front of people again. This one from the budget arm of Westminster Records was a nice share from 2008. I do remember having a hard time...

Somerset (Not Sunset)
What day is this? I'm not even sure anymore. Maybe I need to take a step back and catch my breath. But not until I put up another re-encoded share (as high as I can make it!). This time it's a...

Country Music?
Tonight begins a new series here at the blog. Over the years I've shared with you a large selection of Christmas music put out by the various branches of the US armed forces. They're always a...

A Renewed Skitch
Oooh, here's a good one that I can bring back! You may or may not know who Skitch Henderson is, I suppose it depends on how old you are. I'm too young to have ever seen him on TV, but I've developed...

Pete's Back
This one popped into my head today, and I figured I'd go ahead and share it again. I checked my archives and found a rip from 2012 that I never did anything with, so I encoded that at 320, put the...

Ireland!
From England we venture not very far at all to Ireland. I guess I should have planned this out a little better. This one is part of the Capitol Of The World series, but it's the first one I've shared...

A Harp For Christmas
Hello! And welcome to the noon-time edition of Ernie (Not Bert)'s Christmas extravaganza! Today we're going deep into the archives to resurrect a share from that very first year of fun, 2005. But...

Success Story
Just a quick note to let you that this old favorite of mine by John Klein has been remastered and released by the fine folks at Real Gone! So head over there and give them some love. This is good...

Bringing Back The Bells
This one hasn't been seen in a while, so I figure I'll throw it up here for your enjoyment. At least the cover is nice on this one, even if you can't appreciate the music. I suppose the 'Cathedral...
