What's next in this pile of ten inch records that seems to be almost ten inches tall? Well, this is probably the most recent addition to the stack and comes to us courtesy of a bank in Arizona. (There's a sticker on the back cover bragging about the record being pressed in Phoenix, but I don't know if that's where the bank is headquartered or not.) Thomas L. Thomas (the L stands for Llyfnwy, he was Welsh) was a popular performer on the Firestone radio program and later on the TV version. He only released a few recordings though, and this appears to be the only Christmas one. (As near as I can tell, his connection with Firestone was over by the time they began releasing their popular series of Christmas records, so he doesn't appear there.) This is certainly one of the better 10" records I have for you today, so please download and enjoy

ReplyDeleteAnd they take up a lot less space on a shelf! Well, maybe not the digital copies, but the hard copies are much more compact. :)
