Ok, today I am asking what Christmas music do you have JUST on vinyl. Since my vinyl years were mostly when I was living at home, I just mostly used my dad's stuff, so my collection is small. 12" single of Do They Know it's Christmas? Band Aid-bought it used. Happy X-mas (War is Over, if You Want it) John Lennon-have the green vinyl single. Santa Claus is Comin' to Town Bruce Springsteen-this was the flip of My Hometown, which I already had, but I bought it used for this, for .79! On the novelty front, I have a Stooges 45, with the sleeve, from 1959 (yes, the Curly Joe lineup :  . I got this for like a buck, so it's a neat item to have. And that's about it. How bout you? |

Christmas music on vinyl, eh? Well, let's see...It's been awhile since I've looked through my vinyl collection, but I'll see what I can remember... I have a John Denver Christmas album--can't remember the name of it. LOL! The Carpenters Christmas Present--I think that's the name of it. I used to listen to it all the time when I was younger. It has "Merry Christmas Darling" on it. I suppose that's the Christmas song they're best known for. Wow! I'm just totally drawing a blank here. I know I have more Christmas vinyl than that, I just can't think right now. I'll have to look around at my records, and get back to ya.  |

No Christmas vinyl here. Actually, I only own one vinyl myself. My folks still have quite a bit, though.

Hey Dawn:) That Peppermint Kandy album sounds very cool could you tell me a little more about it? - record label , how many songs etc . I'm just curious since I've never heard of it before:) Hi Ken! It's on the Peter Pan label, #8109. I couldn't find a date on the record itself or the jacket, but I think it was probably released the same year my parents got it for me, 1972. The songs on it are: Side A: Santa Claus is Coming to Town We Need a Little Christmas It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas Winter Wonderland The Christmas Song The Man in the Red Suit Santa Medley Side B: Reprise/Up on the Housetop Santa's Magical Bag My Favorite Things The Marvelous Toy Scarlet Ribbons Happiness Is Love is a Simple Thing We Wish You a Merry Christmas 'Santa's Magical Bag' is a great jazzy number that I've never heard anywhere else. Love it! |

Is the Brady one an original or reprint? Original!! I think my aunt gave it to me when I was like 5. Ooh, I also forgot a vinyl classic that I own - A Charlie Brown ChristmasI don't know how I forgot that one. Of the ones I've listed I've replaced all of them on CD except for the Brady one. |
