Sorry, couldn't help myself. Here's another 10" LP of organ and chime music from one of the prolific Christmas organ and chime artists, Robert Rheims. Some years ago I decided I was going to work my way through this guys Christmas discography, figure out what was unique, what was reissue, what was available on colored vinyl, what wasn't, and, what I thought most important, when it all came out. But then my hard drive failed and I lost it all. I haven't been able to force myself to do all that work again, but I did go ahead and rip this 10" record that I found that I don't think I had back then. Mine is a little unique in that it's not on red vinyl. All the ones I found on the internet were red, but mine is plain old black. Most of Mr. Rheims stuff is pressed on red vinyl, occasionally on green, and once in a while you'll find it on black. Not sure of the story behind that, because he produced stuff on a few different labels, and they all seem to have used the colored vinyl. Perhaps someone out there knows and will clue me in. In the meantime, please download and give a listen to

I can't say I have ever listened to one of his LPs, but I have certainly seen enough of them - although not this one!
ReplyDeleteI have always had the sense that his stuff was self-issued, even if on various labels, but I could be mistaken. You would know more than me.
Thank you sir. I like the cover of this one. never seen it before. But I have not seen a lot that your have shared. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm old and forgetful. I ripped this again last night from the very same copy. It had completely slipped my mind. :(

Thanks. I have a bunch of these releases but haven't seen this one. Some of the RR LPs I have are on different quality vinyl. This one looks heavy.
