Ursine Waves Episode 045: Kresge Christmas Klassix

Listen on Mixcloud

I was recently introduced to the wonders of Christmas background music from S. S. Kresge department stores (the predecessor of K-Mart) circa early 1970s, and I've scoured through 10 LPs worth of recordings to bring you this curated selection of one hour of the best of that material.

The music was compiled and pressed to vinyl for in-store play by Special Recordings Inc. of Detroit, MI (where Kresge was also HQed). No production or recording information is available, nor are credits. No tracklist info this week — just enjoy!

I downloaded the recordings here: https://archive.org/search.php?query=kresge%20christmas

Originally broadcast 12/23/20 on Hollow Earth Radio, KHUH-LP Seattle, 104.9 FM & http://hollowearthradio.org.
