Christmas Jingle Offerings for 2011....

Tis the time to trim the tree, sing carols, and just run around with your ass cut off getting things done for Dec 25th. Oh the needless stress of it all. This year we have those more militant then ever to keep christ in christmas instead of saying happy holidays? Who really cares. It's suppose to be a fun and joyous time for peace on earth and good will towards men. I suppose commericalism and whining kids taught by their parents that material things matter come christmas time take all the fun out of that thought. The parents aren't much better then the kids now are they?

For those like me who will say christmas and happy holidays in the same sentence. This stuff is for you. Here's 3 LP's full of christmas related material dated late 1960s-early 1970s from my Pepper-Tanner production music material for radio stations. Yes Virginia there was a time when people said christmas with foolish resentment and being "politically correct". I just shake my head at all this crap and lets move on to the jingles...

Given the number of jingles here, I have posted an mp3 for each side of the albums, I'll leave it up to you to cut them up. Audacity is a wonderful audio editor, and it's free and will import mp3s, so it's easy to cut it down to what you want.

Regardless of how you spend the Holidays, enjoy the jingles and best wishes for a fantastic 2012, with more to come from the Jingle Jetsam.

  3. "Christmas Day" was an early full-length Christmas song from this company, comparable to another one 20+ years later, "Christmas in Memphis" from the Media General era.

  4. There are websites where you can find RCA pressing plant date codes. One of those is
    http://www.anorakscorner.com/PressingPlantInfo.html
    It's fortunate to see those codes on the earliest Creative Sales Service labels, and 5203 has those.
    To break down that info as it relates to this record:
    P is the year code for 1963.
    5 means the lacquer was sent to an RCA plant after it was cut in another studio.
    R means 12-inch 33 RPM record. The 5 before the R means it was pressed between January and June.
    M means mono.
    Those RCA codes appear on CCS records made from 1963-64. One thing I've been able to determine is that 1963 is the year the Creative Sales Service began.

  5. I noticed the name Ernie Bernhardt mentioned as the arranger on 5214's "Christmas Day".
    He was with the company up through the Media General era! He's seen discussing difficult call letters in this 1987 "Entertainment Tonight" clip:

    You also see Zach Hernandez, whose name was mentioned at the ends of many Tanner demo tapes.
