One of the few albums that was created and released specifically for the Pickwick label, this is the great LP of all-Moog music that I first discovered of at
FaLaLaLaLa! I don't think he's sharing it out anymore, so I'm sharing out my copy tonight. The music here is great, if the whole thing is a bit short. And if you'll bear with me for a while, I've got another reason for sharing it, but I've got to finish it up first. In the meantime, please download

Can't believe there's no comments on this one yet...this is an AWESOME post, Ernie...the copy I had was 'incomplete' so you just 'filled up my stocking' with the rest of my Moog Christmas...and as a lover of 70's prog rock, I miss the sounds of the Mini-Moog in music...I still am on the hunt to buy one of my own...Rick Wakeman's as well as Keith Emerson's Christmas cds are regular staples around my place...
ReplyDeleteJust got this one, Ernie, and big haaorahs for it. I think this was my very first Christmas digital download, and the copy I have is about 2-1/ kbps quality...tongue-in-cheek...so I am delighted to have a better copy. As a moog fan, I even took electronic music class in college in 1976 when the little school I attended splurged on a synth and had a music perfesser trained to teach it. They paid a tidy sum for it. It's funny that two years ago I bought my musician-son a mini-Moog from for less than the price of a game system, and we love working on it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anon, and any holiday synth or electronic Christmas gets play time over egg nog here. Thanks again, Ernie!!!
Both links are gone. I'd love to hear this one as well. Hope it gets re-uploaded this Christmas season.
ReplyDeleteHi Ernie,
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can at one point, re-do this share.
I am sure with all the care, love, and the time you spend on each share, it would have to be an improvement over my YouTube copy.
However, as an album, it seems only a fair effort. I think, the names were more of a selling point, maybe not. I am not really familiar with their work. I seem to remember Sy Mann somewhere in my SABP folders, maybe not?
I feel like this one got a legit reissue at some point, so I don't feel comfortable sharing it. Not too many of the old Moog Christmas albums are in the sharity domain anymore. :(
DeleteMaybe...
ReplyDeleteIt is out of copyright in the EU, as you can get it from some unknown company, unknown to me that is.
Yeah, probably. Your laws are a lot less stringent than ours.
DeleteThe exception being food safety and the like.
DeleteYeah, of course, I just meant copyright-wide. Disney has too much control here, and they never want any of their property to enter the public domain.
DeleteI remember reading a bit how they fought losing the rights to those early Mickey cartoons or whatever. I am not the best at reading full articles as I get bored or cannot sit still doing so. So, I have no idea what the final outcome was.
DeleteThey lost. Steamboat Willie is now in the public domain.

Maybe, I will get out my Disney cartoon DVDs. I always preferred the WB cartoons though. Disney is to goody two shoes for my tastes.
DeleteI used to buy all their animated films on DVD, but gave up several years ago, way before Frozen. I lost interest in them.
I do not know about their DVD releases in the USA, but their DVD releases in the EU, are bareboned, just the film.
But at least, we have the film, The Song of the South, in case someone wants to buy it. It is supposed to be a beautiful copy of it, but then it is available on the internet for free too.
I have the complete TV series of 30 minute colorized Disneys Zorro. I cannot get pass watching only a few of them, boring...to clean cut, no shoot um-ups, etc.
No wonder, Annette was so popular at Disney, hubba, hubba...
I think Disney's heyday was pretty much over by the time WB took the lead in animation. But those WB cartoons owed a clear debt to what came before, as the cartoons of today owe a debt to WB. We're all standing on someone's shoulders.
