Ho Ho Ho (Not Santa)
A rare non-Christmas album around these parts, but I think you'll give me a pass once you give it a listen. This is for the most part a skiing album, but there are a few winter tunes thrown in for...

A very recent find that I wasn't sure I'd be able to get up on the blog for you this year, this is a 7", single sided record that spins at 33.33 RPM and features a message from the president of the...

2011 still stands out to me as the year of the lousy scans. At the time, I had to use the big copier-scanner at work, and it must have needed some calibration when I scanned my album covers that year....

From the land of shares that never got any comments, this went up in 2012 and then disappeared without a trace. I suppose some records just don't find their audience, but I believe you should keep...

The second Paul Mickelson share of the day, again from the 2012 season (though it appears in the archives that I recorded this is 2011). I think I like this one a little better than the earlier one,...

An interesting little 7" record, and not only because it spins at 78 RPM. It's a Christmas song written by noted film composer Dimitri Tiomkin and originally gifted (or sold) to readers of Woman's...

An interesting re-encoded LP for you tonight, one made by a bunch of then-current soap opera stars back in 1982. The only one of them that I recognize is Lori Loughlin, but one guy looks like Scott...

Another oldie by a local celebrity, well, local in Cincinnati, if not anywhere near you. This is Bob Braun, hand picked successor to Ruth Lyons, though he doesn't seem to have achieved quite the...

Here's a remaster of a good organ record I brought to you way back in 2008 that I figured I'd bring you today. I know not all of you are fans of the big organ, but it's well after Christmas at this...

You might remember how much I love the Christmas music put out in the early days of the Westminster label. One of the things that introduced me to that music was this label sampler from 1956. One or...

Making it's first appearance back at the blog since it's debut here in 2012, this is a Christmas album from Edwin Hawkins, one that came a few years after his big gospel-pop hit Oh Happy Day. I see...

Every time I think I'm done with the world-wide Christmas shares, I find something else I forgot about. Well, I didn't actually forget about this one, but I did sweep it under the rug for a good long...

From the 2011 archives, this is a set of nice Tijuana Brass-style Christmas music that I'm told has been released under a lot of different names over the years. On this particular record, there really...

Saw this one in the folder of stuff I could easily re-encode and knew it was something I needed to get back out there. This is one of the few things in my sharity pile that could be called jazz, and...

This particular share may be the worst nightmare for many of you, so be careful. It's a homemade organ recording on 7" vinyl with a picture sleeve. I'm thinking it may be a vanity project by someone...

I had pretty much forgotten about this one until I saw it in a playlist yesterday, and it all came flooding back to me. It's Spanish-language vocals dubbed over instrumental Christmas carols played on...

The return of a classic share from 2008, a Christmas album by country singer and two-time governor of Louisiana, Jimmie Davis! I wish I could find this one in stereo, but for now this old mono rip...

As soon as you saw the '1' in the title of that last post, you should have known what would pop up next. That's right, it's Jimmie's second Christmas LP, the one that shares a bit of it's cover with...

Perhaps the shortest, quickest share of the season, here's a single song by Mitch Miller released as a single in 1950 before Columbia had adopted the 45 RPM speed used by RCA at the time. So I was...

More of the same, I'm afraid, organ & chimes, that is, the favorite Christmas music of the last century. I've been trying to find other stuff to share and got really frustrated when I find stuff...
