Chuck Berry - Run Rudolph Run

I'm sitting here exhausted from a long week. But I am thankful for all the blessings in my life. Take a moment on this Christmas Day and list 5 good things in your life. Be mindful of the those things and bring them forth when you face what seems as an overwhelming challenge.

This promo was not from the radio station haul but was found in May in a Raleigh Record store. My friend Jim gave me the 78 a few months ago. I usually don't collect 78's but a Chuck Berry 78 and Christmas to boot...who could resist. This 45 is one I have searched awhile for. This was supposed to be uploaded last weekend but I forgot

James Brown - The Christmas Song version 1 and 2

What is Christmas without James Brown 45 in the mix. How about both sides. Nice little promo from the radio station find

The Chambers Brothers - Merry Christmas Happy New Year

I was trying to be on a Star Wars kick today to prepare myself for going to the flick to see the new movie but I had chores to do so I only finished Episode 1. But now time for some Christmas funk

Buck Owens & Nancy Wilson - Toys For Tots

Wow, what a day...that's all I have to say on that matter! The mantra for the day..."remember the reason for the season" Here is a promo 45 supporting the Marine Corp Reserve. Buck Owens on one side and Nancy Wilson on the other

Al Hirt - Hooray For Santa Claus

Another radio station find...picture sleeve and stock 45. I have had the promo 45 for years. Cool ps

Sister Roestta Tharpe - Silent Night

Can't believe I forgot to post yesterday. I had a special posting. Oh well, maybe I will add it to Christmas Day for a double. This 45 was from my friend Matt. I have an LP from Sister Rosetta Tharpe in my office that is soooo good. I listen to it when I'm having a rough day an my co-workers recognize when the good sister is playing I probably need a an attitude adjustment

Johnny Cash - Little Drummer Boy

I'm sitting here exhausted from a long week. But I am thankful for all the blessings in my life. Take a moment and list 5 good things in your life. Be mindful of the those things and bring them forth when you face what seems as an overwhelming challenge.
The Johnny Cash 45 was from the Radio Station find but I have had the picture sleeve for a few years now. It was nice to match it up finally

B.B. King Christmas Celebration

The promo is another of the Radio station finds from August. I've had the stock copy for some time

Joe Tex - I'll Make Every Day Christmas

There will be a whole lot of soul this Christmas

Simon and Garfunkel 7 O'Clock News Silent Night

Wow, what a day. I have a nice collection of Christmas albums in my office and I tortured the hall today..ha ha. Here is the song I referenced last night.

Hardly Worthit Players Bobby The Poet - White Christmas

A little Christmas Novelty. I think this also may be a little tongue in cheek response to the Simon & Garfunkel Silent Night. Another Radio station find

Bobby Darin - Child of God

So I start my traditional upload of Christmas 45's and I really hit the motherload this year. From getting some from my friend Matt, to finding some in a Raleigh record store, and then of course the radio station haul this year gave me tons.to play with. I have way more than the 13 planned.
This 45 and picture sleeve was from my radio station find in August. A nice gospel sounding song from Bobby Darin.
