Back With People

This is the first remaster of the season, and a record I've said I wouldn't bring back, yet here it is. I shared this record with you back in 2005, my very first season, then I un-shared it because I found a place that was selling it on CD.  That place has since disappeared and I'm convinced it wasn't too legit.  I could be wrong, and someone may show me something that makes me take this down quick, so if you want it, you should grab it now.  If you're not familiar with Up With People, then you should look it up.  If you are familiar, then you know you have to download this.  Lots of good stuff on here, mostly vocals, but a great instrumental called Jingle Bell Beat has long made my short list of favorites for many years now.  I just wish I'd had a cleaner copy to scan.  The music is much cleaner than that rough looking cover scan might lead you to believe.  That "Merry Christmas To You All" text is supposed to be red, but try as I might, it's still pink.  And the ringwear is atrocious.  The scanner picked it up so much worse than it actually looks in real life.  Oh, well.  Gotta run with what I've got.  Anyhow, this is Up With People-Merry Christmas To You All (Pace Records 1105, 1968, Stereo).

  3. Thank you. I definitely missed this one the first time around. While Amazon does sell many of the old UWP recordings on mp3, I don't recall this being one of them. This one is appreciated.

  8. Useless trivia: Up With People hold the record for most halftime appearances at the Super Bowl - five.

    And it was said that when NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle saw them at Super Bowl XX, he was heard to mutter "I never want to see Up With People again!" to an aide.
