Midnight Burl
One of my favorite shares of 2011, this is a rare Christmas album from the great Burl Ives. In it, he sings what are believed to be the favorite Christmas songs of a number of presidents, from...

Bonus Burl
A little bit more Burl here while I'm on the subject. I believe I found this single at the same record store as I found that great Holiday Inn record I shared with you a few days ago. Normally an...

No Norman Vincent Peale
One nice thing about going back and doing some re-ups for you is that I discover things I had forgotten about. If I had come across this record in a pile of goodies, I don't think I'd have remembered...

The Unheard Billy
I know you're tired of these organ records, but I just can't help myself. Here's one that has probably been unavailable for years and was only limited availability when it was new. Where else are you...

Bison's Back
This is a stereo upgrade to a record I first posted back in 2007 in mono. I remember not liking it very much back then, but after listening to it in stereo, I decided I liked it a lot better this time...

Conservationists
Another something from 2011 that hasn't been back since, this is a collection of Christmas carols that may have been some sort of giveaway. Not sure about the history on this one, as Fleetwood was a...

DECA (Not Decca)
It's crazy to go through the archives and see how many Christmas records I've shared out over the years. Many of them are now available elsewhere, which is a good thing, it means they haven't been...

From Motorola
Tonight's new share is a Christmas musical that never really made it big. It makes a nice little audio play with some sweet songs and interesting story. It comes in an oversized jacket that usually...

Not Craftsmen
One of my very earliest and most out-there shares here at the blog is this album from the employees of Snap-On Tools. Well, only the male employees. This was my introduction to the idea of a company...

Ruth Returns
Another share that's been around here forever, coming back tonight in newly re-encoded form. I shared this during my inaugural year of 2005, then in a remaster for 2011 courtesy of a copy that used...

Kids Of Christmas
I probably should have shared this out earlier in the season, but I forgot about it. Some of these religious albums are just too funny. I'm sure their heart is in the right place, but these days I...

Ten Inch Suns
I found this record last weekend, and I figured I'd go ahead and get it posted up this season since it was so nice. I shared this record out with you many years ago in it's 3x7" version, from it's...

Sew Good
A request that came in just as I was looking for something to share, this is a record I first shared with you in 2012, but I went in and re-encoded it just now so you get the highest bitrate for your...

Ten Inch Suns 2
Buster reminded me about this other Three Suns 10" record, so I figured I'd go ahead and rip it anew and throw it up here for you. It didn't sound as good as the other one, but it's still much better...

More Singing Nuns
I found another singing nuns record! I thought I had posted all of these for the year, but I guess I was wrong. This one featured a couple of unlisted tracks at the end, and it was the best part of...

Bob 1
Back in 2007, someone asked me if I had any Christmas music from Bob Kames. I didn't, but the name stuck with me, and by the next year, I had a lot of Christmas music by Bob Kames. Pretty much all of...

Bob 2
Following up from that last post, here is the second of the Bob Kames Christmas albums. Lucky for you, I re-recorded this one at some time in the past couple years, but didn't get a chance to share it...

Bob 3
Next up is volume 3, again in a newly remastered rip, and this time with an original King cover from 1961. The 1976 Gusto cover that I originally shared with you in 2008 is down at the bottom. I think...

Bob 4
The hits just keep coming, though this one comes a few years after all the others. Another share from 2008 though remastered from a new copy sometime more recently, this one features Bob at a new...

Bob 5
You might have thought I was done with the Bob Kames, but no, there's this one single that didn't show up on any of the four albums I shared with you overnight. And this is a little different from all...
