Wrapping Up The Christmas Shopping Jingles.....

...with a nice bow perhaps?

we end the christmas shopping jingles from 1952 with the last side of 2 discs.

Just think, these almost ended up in the dumpster of a radio station I worked at for 16 years when they moved from studios for 48 years in one location! It was a mass exodus, and I loaded up the car (I was living at home at the time, and my mother didn't really love me dragging in some 300 16 inch musty smelling radio transcriptions in the place, but I did what I could, and the smell subsided!). Years later, the locally recorded acetate ones I saved were transferred for the local provincial archives to reel tape and kept by me for now. I got a few reel tapes also, but I won't go into it here. It's just funny how life works, especially with the technology that is called the internet can make it a reality to share this material that otherwise most people wouldn't have known to exist. Fascinating isn't it?

Enjoy!
