Vinyl Christmas has begun!

 It is here: the 11th annual Vinyl Christmas, streaming now until December 27. 

We have thousands of tracks, all taken from vinyl albums. If you are old enough, you may remember the albums that were sold by hardware stores like True Value and Ace Hardware. Plus, Firestone and Goodyear also famously sold albums, too.

These albums are great and we have several dozen in our collection. Our newest edition is this one from True Value:


This one is from 1978. The first True Value "Happy Holidays" album came out in 1965. So this is a Christmas tradition at its best. Here is an ad for the Goodyear album, Great Songs of Christmas, which sold for $1 in 1969:


And yes, we have that one in our collection, too! 

So tune in to Vinyl Voyage Radio to listen to these gems from the past.
