As the festive season approaches, posts here on Bebopwino tend to get on the intermittent side. Kind of like the opposite of Big Rock Candy Mountain where Christmas brings on a whole lotta wild, wacky and brilliant posts. But thanks to Joan, all Bebopwinos can enjoy a Rhythm ‘n’ Bluesy Doo Wop Christmas with 32 seasonal vintage vinyl rips. So download, take a break from the Christmas shopping, pour yourself a glass of something (12 year old malt should do the trick) and let these discs transport you back to the 1950s, when Christmas was Christmas. Thanks again, Joan!
Ripped from vinyl at 128 kbps (mostly). Password = greaseyspoon
