21-Cheers To You At Christmas

Another day, another collection of great music from 7" 45 RPM records in my collection. The records today came a really long way to be here as they are all from the United Kingdom! Note that many of them feature a small hole in the center instead of the more familiar large hole that we get here in the US. Some of them do feature a large hole and I believe all of those are US issues of music recorded and originally released in the UK. Of course I could be wrong about a few of them, but I believe most of them are from jolly old England. I ordered at least one batch of 45s from England this past spring but the rest of them are things that I've found here and these over time. I decided to see if I could pull them all together to make a great playlist. I almost called it 'A Proper British Christmas' before I decided to use a track title, but I think the 'Cheers' in the title kind of tells you what you need to know. If you don't enjoy this one I'm going to put you on the naughty list!
