I GOT THIS BACK IN THE 80'S. ITS A BAD TRANSFER FM LP TO CD, YOU CAN HEAR THAT ITS A ALBUM, BUT WHO CARES! IT ROCKS! IF YOU TAKE OUT A COUPLE OF THE WEEK SELECTIONS (YOU'LL KNOW THE ONES) YOUR LEFT WITH A HELLUVA R&B CD FOR XMAS PARTYS,ETC. BUY IT!

I originally bought this as a cassette tape, from a Walgreens in San Francisco near the Presidio in the late eighties.It was in a clearance bin, it was one of the best tapes I ever bought, it's been part of my Christmas playlist since. There are Blues gems here that you won't hear on the radio. The tape is on it's last leg so I had to upgrade to the CD. If you like old R&B, you won't be disappointed.

This is a xmas cd that I bought over 10 years ago. This is one of two of the best xmas cds that I own. Even though all of the artist were before my time, I still enjoy this cd. I even bought one for my Mother a few years back. One more thing, track #18, "Frosty The Snowman" by "The Trailblazers" does not sound like a rhythm & blues song. That's my only complaint. (When making a backup of this CD, I omitted track #18.

For a little under 10 bucks, this is one you don't want to pass up. It has a dozen real gems at least. My favorite: "Boogie Woogie Santa Claus" by Mabel Scott, one of the most underrated vocalists of the 20th century.
