Another one of the RCA Living Voices Christmas records in Stereo.
And in original mono, from the record I heard every Christmas, growing up.

A Pratt Family Christmas Eve
When RCA was RCA, Camden — named after the New Jersey city — was a subsidiary record label. My family played the Camden Christmas records every year. This was one of them.
I’d never heard the recording in stereo, until listening to it just now. Here is a transfer from the original mono record I heard as a kid, and have held onto all these years.
I’m Dreaming of a Mono Christmas
Originally released as A Christmas Gift for You from Philles Records, on November 22, 1963.
In MONO, as Spector intended.
Yule Like This
An official Beatles holiday collection.
Curiously, it doesn’t include the UK fan club records.

I’m about to start watching this extended interview with Sean. Incredibly, he’s now 50 years old.
Sean was a contributor to the Oscar-winning WAR IS OVER! animated short.
The Humble and Kind Lori McKenna
Lori on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, from February 27, 2017.
Listening to Lori
Speaking of unmistakable, there’s the voice of Boston’s Lori McKenna. This video is compliments of tastewar, who gets another doff of the Dog Rat toupee.
Lori gets rocking when she has a backup band. At one of her signings, she laughed when I described a show she had at the Somerville Theater as, “Lori McKenna and Crazy Horse.”
