With a turntable back in the KMHL studio, we present Vintage Vinyl Christmas.  Today, Heath tells of how in the world we were able to get a Technics by Panasonic SL-1500 turntable back in the studio and introduces a couple tunes off some great Christmas albums.  First, from the John Denver & The Muppets "A Christmas Together" album it's the 12 Days of Christmas.  Then from Naomi & Wynonna, its Christmas Time with The Judds and their Winter Wonderland.

KMHL's Vintage Vinyl Christmas - 12/2/25

KMHL's Vintage Vinyl Christmas takes an instrumental flair with help from Floyd Cramer & The Ventures.  Floyd Cramer has that classic "slip note" style of piano playing that is so smooth and that I love.  This entire album, "We Wish You A Merry Christmas", is full of slides from one tune to another with a host of medleys.  This one will feature "The Christmas Song", "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", and "White Christmas".  Second, its The Ventures' Christmas Album.  This record is filled with Christmas classics by a group that did so much to popularize music of the electric guitar throughout the 60's.  With a definite Ventures flair, we enjoy Sleigh Ride.

KMHL's Vintage Vinyl Christmas turns to one of the most popular performers of the 60's and 70s, Glen Campbell.  Sometimes when you buy a record with your favorite artist's face on the album cover, you expect that record to be full of songs performed by that artist.  Look closer at 1971's "Christmas with Glen Campbell" and underneath Glen's name you'll see in much smaller print "and the Hollywood Pops Orchestra and The Voices of Christmas".  Upon listening you'd find out that Glen is on just 5 of the 10 songs and one of those is a recitation of "The Night Before Christmas".  A lesson to be learned the hard way!  The back of the album also has some very glowing things to say about "America's favorite entertainer".  None the less, enjoy a medley from the Hollywood Pops Orchestra and Glen's rendition of "I'll be Home For Christmas".

KMHL's Vintage Vinyl Christmas brings you  a compellation album from your favorite door to door beauty products sales company, AVON! We dig out an old Avon jingle and commercial and play a couple cuts from 1985's "A Christmas Treasury of Classics From Avon".  It brings together a host of Christmas classics that have stood the test of time.  Perry Como's smooth  baritone voice reminds us that there's no place like "Home for the Holidays" and Jose Feliciano brings us the love it or hate it (I love it!) Feliz Navidad.

KMHL's Vintage Vinyl Christmas brings you another compellation album, this time from RCA Records.  "A Country Christmas"  features a host of songs from various artists who recorded under the RCA label over the years.  Often times, the labels would take advantage of music lover's passion for Christmas and  put a number of songs on an album to create a 4th quarter sales boon.  RCA released a number of these compellations, especially in the 80's.  Enjoy "Peace on Earth" from Razzy Bailey & Alabama's "Christmas in Dixie".
