Welcome to Finnley's Audio Adventures! In this episode, I'm diving into the depths of the most unusual and offbeat records, and I've uncovered a real gem - Yuletide Disco by Mirror Image, released in 1979 on Pickwick Records.
Pickwick Records was known for its budget album releases, and Yuletide Disco is no exception. It features disco versions of traditional Christmas songs and covers from artists such as Irving Berlin and Robert Burns, performed by session musicians known as Mirror Image.
During the LP era, some of these drugstore records would only have one cover version of a famous song or tune, and the rest of the album would be filled out with public domain songs. This allowed the record companies to capitalize on the popularity of a certain song while minimizing the cost of producing the album. For more information on the history of these types of records, I highly recommend checking out The Oddity Archive series of videos called "Record Ripoffs."
But don't let the budget label fool you - Yuletide Disco is a splash of humor and a whole ocean of weirdness, with its disco-fied renditions of classic holiday tunes. So get ready for a dive into the bizarre and downright hilarious with Finnley's Audio Adventures and Yuletide Disco!
