On Second Thought
I wasn't going to share this record because there were a couple of bad skips in one song, but I spent a couple hours playing with it and I think it's a little better now. I can still hear it, but I think that's because I know where it is and I'm listening for it. It also fades in just a little bit late, but I'm sure you won't notice that bit. If you hear the skip, then I'm sorry, please feel free to delete it. I referenced this record in passing earlier in the year when I was sharing out a batch of records that someone had donated to the blog. I lamented not being able to share them all because of the skips. But like I said, some hard work and time seems to have helped the situation greatly. Thanks and Merry Christmas to the kind visitor who donated this record. I've never seen another copy in all my collecting days, so I'm happy to be able to share The Knightsbridge Singing Strings-Christmas Mood (Purist Records PURIST-SP-13, Stereo) with you. Enjoy! (You like smooth silky strings? Then this record is for you!)

Purist is an odd label in that almost all its issues are of the Knightsbridge Singing Strings - 18 of 20. The others are a singer named Charles De Forest, whom I like, and Tommy Rey and His Caribe Steel Band. Discogs says the label is from the Bunk Johnson Appreciation Society!
