Christmas At The Mall

Here's something I don't think you see every day. It's a record put out by a mall in New Jersey! (And it's still there!) Pretty sure it's just a couple of licensed tapes that they paid to release here, but it's a unique memento of a time when malls reigned supreme on the face of the earth. They don't even have a complete track listing on this thing, so I had to guess at a few songs, and at least one two three four five is are still unknown to me, so maybe you can help me put a name to the songs. Give it a listen and see if you can help me out. This is Christmas At Garden State Plaza (Blake Productions LPM/S 669, Stereo)

    1. Did you give it a listen? I thought the first side was good, but the carillon stuff was rough.

  2. Exactly my thoughts. I've had it for while -- it's part of my regular Xmas music rotation.
