i have a dozen or so xmas records on continuous loop for the next couple days, including three by johnny mathis!

this one is a 1967 reissue of the 1958 classic. i picked it up at the used record store up the street for seven bucks.

i found these two gems at the record store up the street and, at twelve bucks each, couldn't resist. i listened to these LPs (and dream weaver and forest flower) a ton in high school.

they were recorded the same night, january 27, 1967, at the SF fillmore. i was barely 14, still in junior high, born ten years too late as usual #alas

check it out — ten bucks at the used record store up the block! this wasn't there last week.

this is a 1974 EMUS reissue of the 1958 Roulette LP.

i'm going through my records looking for ones to trade in or give away, found a mancini soundtrack that does not spark joy ("the great race"), sonny rollins' freedom suite doesn't do it to me, was eyeballing this dizzy gillespie savoy reissue but milt jackson and stuff smith make up for everything else on this record so it stays
