STUCK IN THE VINYL AGAIN - THE BEACH BOYS - THE BEACH BOY'S CHRISTMAS ALBUM

[maggot]

Good morning audiophiles and welcome back to the Tuesday edition of Stuck In The Vinyl Again's 12 Days Of Christmas Countdown. With 4 more to go, we find ourselves spinning The Beach Boys' Christmas Album. The Beach Boys' Christmas Album was released November 9, 1964 on the Capitol label and produced by Brian Wilson. It peaked at #6 on the Billboard 200 and gave birth to a sole single, "The Man with All the Toys" (#3 Hot 100). The LP, with five original songs and seven standards, is considered one of the best Christmas albums of the rock era. This copy was a recent purchase from Lakeland's own, The Wax & The Needle.
