It's Still Christmas Somewhere

We'll conclude this year's Christmas festivities with a little post-Christmas music for relaxing, perhaps around a fire with some wine or other Christmas spirits, after the kids have gone to bed.

This is a compilation of 40's/50's tunes that Savoy Jazz (SJL 1157) put out in 1985. It has recently been reissued on CD (available at the usual on-line suspects) with improved sound - the benefits of digital remastering, no doubt - in contrast to the somewhat wonky sound of this original 1985 vinyl.

Also, this particular disc has a rough skipping spot in one song that I simply couldn't get to track correctly, so my apologies for that.
