03-You Meet The Nicest People-33 RPM

It may be a little after Christmas, but the records keep coming! And now it's time for the third installment of Christmas singles from 33 RPM records instead of 45s. You'll notice they all have the small hole that's typical of larger records, I assume that was originally to avoid the patents RCA had on the large hole and it helped to avoid the need for an adapter to play the record as well. The early years of the microgroove record were filled with strange stories of things that did and didn't work out, much like the early years of records themselves. There are all sorts of formats and layouts out there that just didn't go anywhere or do anything well. But that's neither here nor there, you just want the music, and here it is. Enjoy!
