1953 HANK SNOW CHRISTMAS EP

Here’s a little Christmas present for you Label Corner fans - a nice scan of Hank Snow’s 1953 45 rpm EP A Country Christmas With Hank Snow. The little string on the top came with the record. Imagine a Christmas tree full of these little beauties.

Apparently, RCA Victor did a whole series of ornamental EPs in the early fifties. If one were really obsessed, one would try to collect them all. I’ve stumbled across a couple over the years with the Hank EP being my favourite.

We heard Hank’s brisk version of Frosty The Snowman on the December 18/06 Snowbound edition of Roy’s Record Room.

PS. Like Mince Meat Tarts? Go here http://www.royforbes.ca/tart.html for a seasonal tune plus a great recipe for mince meat.

Merry Christmas from Santa Roy!
