We've usually done an annual "what we're listening to" list of holiday albums, but I don't think we've done one that covers albums we may have forgotten over the years, albums we wish we could find, or albums we haven't listened to in years.
I got the inspiration today when I somehow remembered that my dad had a record by Roger Williams. Checking Qobuz, there isn't much available for Roger Williams, considering he made dozens of albums through his career. But once I visited Discogs, I located the album that we had: Roger Williams Plays Christmas Songs. This is one of those instances when you see the album cover and immediately recognize it.
Ours had the original silver/maroon Kapp labels; later US issues had a white/red/green holiday-themed label.
This is one I may have to try to locate in storage and give it a cleaning. I'm wondering how it held up over the years.
There was also a various artists LP on Reprise that featured Frank Sinatra on one track. But I have never been able to find it listed anywhere on Discogs, probably because I don't know the name of the album to look for it. I do recall that side one (or perhaps side two?) started with "Go Tell It On The Mountain."
Do you have any mysteries or long-lost albums you remember from the past?
