Not From Georgia

We're far enough into the season now that I think you deserve a little Canadian Content. And, like killing two birds with one stone, this is also a product of Radio Shack! How are you gonna beat that? As you can tell from the cover image above, this is a girl group taking on a handful of carols, including covers of songs made popular by Eartha Kitt and Elvis. The Eartha song is the one you expect, but the Elvis is not a song you hear every day. Lots to enjoy on this little record, so please download and enjoy The Peaches-Christmas With The Peaches (Realistic Canadian Series 7" 33 RPM 68-8100 (Radio Shack), Stereo, 1975).

4. Silver Bells

    Hey Ernie,
    Just listened to this EP. I have a thought, while I am not a country music fan, these girls should have hit Nashville or some country music capital. They have a country sound to them. Even their video of Sugar Time on YouTube sounds a little bit country. Who knows, their fame could have lasted a little longer than 15 minutes, then again, maybe not. An interesting addition to a Christmas collection though.

    I think Elvis shoulda done Santa Baby.

    Hmm. If you've got Christmas from The Peaches, does that mean you've got a Christmas song from Cream lurking?

    As I am in Montreal, Quebec, I see this little 33 rpm often... and usually in very bad shape. I have one myself.
    I think it is a fun record and rather well interpreted !
    It's fun to hear it in good shape !
    Thanks ...

    Well, this turned out to be a popular share. I'd never seen or heard the record before, but it showed up in the sale list of someone on Discogs that I was buying some other stuff from. Looked like a fun record and it was cheap. Glad I did. Neat versions on here.

    Thanks for all the comments. Sorry it took me a bit to respond, I've had company around for a few days and tried to stay off the computer.
