Okay, "FAVORITE" is a stretch. Some of these album covers are straight up awful. However, I do love looking at old records, and here's a few Christmas LP's that I found particularly interesting. Enjoy!
"Sleaze-ons Greetings" from the Golddiggers. These were the girls on Dean Martin's show - and I love their frozen smiles and Stepford wives look. Cathy Lee Crosby from That's Incredible is under the Christmas tree in the center, back row. (image source)
Talk about a hastily put together album cover! I think the tree has a grand total of nine ornaments. Plus, Santa's hand is totally blurry - that's the best photo they could come up with? Then there's the issue of the wardrobe - the collars are simply gargantuan. And homeslice standing by the curtains sure has some high wasted slacks. Ouch!
Believe it or not, the Rhodes Kids actually enjoyed a taste of fame, albeit for a very, very, very, very, very (gasp! takes a breath), very, very, very brief moment in time. (image source)
Have four men ever looked so out of place? I saw this at a flea market yesterday and was transfixed on this album cover until my wife shook me and broke the spell it had weaved upon my psyche. There's simply no way these guys are going to be gathering around that tree to open presents - maybe to do a line off that glass table, but not open presents.
This one is from BizarreRecords.com. Would it have killed them to put up some Christmas decorations? "Christmas at Our House" I guess means playing with an impossibly small train set on a ten foot carpet square.
Take Note: Debbie "You Light Up My Life" Boone center/front and Cherry "I Beat Anorexia" Boone on the far left. I ripped "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" from the album, but couldn't bring myself to do any more songs. It's worthwhile for a listen only because of Pat's horrible Santa Claus imitation.
