Title: Re: Mike and Dean Xmas party? Post by: Third Coast on November 07, 2006, 09:19:44 PM The Radio Shack Christmas album? It came out on Hitbound Records in 1983. My copy is on vinyl, still sealed. I've never heard it. There are three Mike cuts: him singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," Mike and Dean doing "Jingle Bell Rock," and Mike and Mary MacGregor singing "Do You Hear What I Hear." The rest of it is by Three Dog Night (all three of 'em), Paul Revere & the Raiders, Merrilee Rush, the Association and Bobby Goldsboro (all new recordings for this album). There was a TV special with all of these folks called "Scrooge's Rock'n'Roll Christmas," with Jack Elam as Scrooge, judging from the back cover.
The producers were Jeff Foskett, Jim Studer, Dick Hieronymous, Paul Revere and Adrian Baker. Title: Re: Mike and Dean Xmas party?

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" is a quite decent 80's track. I think there's a Mike Love performance of "Jingle Bell Rock" on YouTube right now...it was a lip-synced performance with Christmas dancers, presumably sometime around December 1983, and it was somewhere in Europe I think. I have only heard part of "Do You Hear What I Hear". I always thought that there were more Mike Love tracks on this disc, but I guess not. Thanks for the info! Now I know that I've at least heard all three tracks.The producers were Jeff Foskett, Jim Studer, Dick Hieronymous, Paul Revere and Adrian Baker. Title: Re: Mike and Dean Xmas party?
