Kenny And Corky - Nuttin For Christmas

I found my copy of this 1959 release at Hook Road Boot Sale  a few years back, the seller said they were going to get a Juke Box they got all the records to put on it, but never brought the Juke Box, I have never come across another copy of this record, until I acquired the record I can not recall ever hearing this record, on 45Cat there are links to both sides of this record.

Thurl Ravenscroft & The Pixies - Santa's Too Fat For The Hula Hoop

A USA & Canada only 1958 release, when I first posted this record I was offered £250 to sell this record, I noticed that on 45Cat there was a link on the Canadian issue to a You Tube posting of this record but the account had been terminated.

Bob Rivers - The Twelve Pains Of Christmas

I first came across Bob Rivers when I was in the HMV shop in London I had a Long Service Award and took it as vouchers for the HMV shop, I had spent most of the award and had a few pounds left, I was contemplating adding some cash and buying the complete Round The Horn series, then I saw the Bob Rivers and Twisted Radio - Twisted Christmas CD these were a £1 each so I brought one, the remainder went on a couple of other CD's who's titles I can not remember, later I did acquire the Round The Horn series. This 1987 release is probably the most prototypical version of the song.

New Additional Memory

 To back up the music tracks and move them between PC's I have 2 x 4TB external hard drives, and a number of smaller drives, most of these are getting a bit long in the tooth, recently when I went to add some tracks the main back-up drive a message said the drive was full, I decided to get a new 8TB SSD drive, over the last couple of days I have been transferring the data to the new drive. The main PC I used for the blog I had custom built, it had 1 x 1TB & 4 x 2TB drives as well as extra USB ports, there was a also a number of external memory drives between 750GB and 8TB, If I ever change my laptop I will get a custom made one to suite my requirements.
