Back To The Barbershop

I had a few records that were remasters this year that I didn't get to through the season, so I figure there's no better time to share one of those with you than right now. For those who don't know, I sometimes find a new copy of a record I shared long ago, or maybe I just decide to record the old record again because I think I can do better. Sometimes I just forget that I'd already done some record, so it happens by accident that I redo something, but that's certainly the exception rather than the rule. In this case it's a barbershop chorus record, one of only a few barbershop Christmas records I'm familiar with. (I did see a new one that I don't have shared out over at Lee's place this year, go check it out!) Sharp eyed readers will notice that the label scan this time around is different than the old copy. But otherwise, it's the same music, same cover, same everything. I think I even scanned my original cover because the new one had writing on it and a Christmas card taped to the front. But it's the same otherwise. Anyhow, if you wanna give it a listen, here is Yuletide Favorites-Barbershop Style (Official SPEBSQSA Recording, No Number, Stereo). I suspect this pressing is a little newer than the old one based on the label being printed in fewer colors. The longer a record is in print, the cheaper they try to make the costs.
