Firestone released the first of its “Your Favorite Christmas” series in 1962 and the last one in 1968. Enclosed please find all seven. Link in comments.
Do not ignore this collection.It's beautiful. Ignore the subject matter if you wish but, these are a powerful group of recordings. They are sincere and, as a bonus, they are very well recorded.
I've flipped pass the records for years, thinking they were not worth my time, but the prospect of the entire set demands that black be filled. Um...Merry Christmas?
Part of Christmas growing up, for sure. I only have Volume 2 in my collection at the moment. While omnipresent in resale shops, they are invariably beat to shit, and usually overpriced for that ("That's right, $5, we hear vinyls are quite collectible nowadays"). Got the competing Goodyear collection?
I don't have the Goodyear collection. The USENET collection is incomplete. The LP's can be purchased on Ebay, and people are selling CD-R's. Record rips are also to be found on Youtube, and one could rip those rips in Linux using youtube-dl.

Thanks for this tired old collection. I will pump up the volume and try and get some more mileage out of it.
I'm scared, Mommy!

Firestone "Tires" or "Tyres" if your a Brit
"Tired" "Pump" "Mileage" Its a joke about the name not about the music.
Don't you just hate it when you have to explain the joke?
Long out of print. Thanks! My parents had some of the old W.T. Grant albums. They bring back good memories. Thank you!

No, but I see it just sitting there on USENET. It was 10 albums, apparently.

Thank you for this.
I remember when corporations would have this sort of promotion.
Those were the days.
Happy New Year
Right you are.
