Episode 30: Christmas 2001: A Space Age Adventure by Flo Price

Truly, this album has all the warning signs of being terrible. Christmas in the distant future of 2001, missionaries to outer space (?), low budget children’s music…  But it’s actually pretty good!

Episode 29: A Merry Mancini Christmas by Henry Mancini

Part two of our holiday series, we bring you a low-key, yet festive Christmas album from movie composer extraordinaire, Henry Mancini.

Original 1966 Release. People kind of pretending to have fun.

1972 reissue. We can all agree this is cuter, and therefore superior.

Episode 28: We Wish You A Merry Christmas by Ray Conniff and the Ray Conniff Singers

Perhaps the quintessential Christmas album? We encourage you to start your own Ray Conniff style caroling flash mob and take advantage of these extrodinarily festive arrangements of classic holiday songs.

We bought this album by accident! The record was stuffed inside another album sleeve.
