Had this on a 45 as a kid. They also did a red baron song about Christmas.
I had it too! In fact, I remember buying it at the dime store for something like .49 cents, a pretty good sum for me back then. My "other" sister confiscated it, along w/ my "Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town" (Kenny Rogers) and my "In the Year 2525" (Zager and Evans) singles.
Funny about music media formats; when cassettes and 8-tracks came out, people said the sound quality didn't even come close to vinyl and I guess they had a point, but I had a lot of record albums and I never could get them completely clean, even buying a mat and one of those brushes and fluid. I had a friend how had most of his music on reel-to-reel and the quality was excellent, but he told me it needed climate control or the tape would degrade. (as I well know, having several tapes almost melt in the heat of my car)
I also remember people griping about CDs when they came out, guess the players weren't all that good or the discs were "softer" or something b/c they scratched very easily and sometimes would hang up the player.
And now there's digital...and different formats in it! I started out w/ .wav, but the file sizes were huge. Almost all my digital jukebox is in mp3, but I do have a couple of other tunes in other ones and have seen some huge arguments over which is the best. Oh well, I love music, but I guess my headphones/speakers OR my own hearing aren't/isn't discerning enough to tell all that much difference.
The best thing about record albums were the covers...love cover art, esp. the Moody Blues albums.
Thanks f/ posting!
