I'm a big fan of the RCA Victor label, especially in the early years of the LP when they seemed to make some classic music that was paired with beautiful album covers, often topped by a Living Stereo banner after 1958. And when it comes to Christmas music of the label, I sometimes feel like I have it all but then something comes along and makes me think otherwise. This album is one of those records. I spotted it in a random search at Discogs and it was cheap, so an order was placed and here it is. Turns out it's from Canada, that's why I hadn't seen it before, I don't believe there was ever a US release. It's a various artists thing with vocalists I've never heard of before, but I think you can find something good to listen to in every record. Give this a listen for me. This is

ReplyDeleteJust takes a little digging (every single day of your life)!
DeleteThis is from Quebec. The lable is far from obscure but these people are, even for me ! Mid 1960's. --- Thanks Ernie for all you share, really.
