"Rockin' Christmas" - The 60's (Rhino LP '84)

RHINO Records had its origin in a popular West-L.A. vinyl shop (founded 1973). The label started operation four years later with the eccentric Wild Man Fischer as their first artist. RHINO has enjoyed much success over the years with a catalog of oldies plus a diverse stable of musicians.RHINO's various artists collection ROCKIN' CHRISTMAS: The 60s (RNLP/RNC 067) was issued in 1984.
Only two national charters here.
In 1960, "Twistin' Bells" reached #49 on the Hot 100.
Bobby Pickett's Xmas novelty peaked at #30 Pop and was a surprise #18 on Billboard's R&B chart.
RANDOM NOTES:
Christmas Spirit was a one-shot WHITE WHALE label supergroup featuring the talents of (among others) Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman of the Turtles, Chip Douglas, Henry Diltz and Cyrus Faryar of the Modern Folk Quartet, Linda Ronstadt of the Stone Poneys and Gram and Gene Parsons of the Flying Burrito Bros. and Byrds.
Santo & Johnny Farina are from Brooklyn, NY.
Although known for edgy "Surfin' Bird," the Trashmen were from Minneapolis, MN.
The Sonics and Wailers were Tacoma, WA. garage bands.
Complete with infant babble, "Baby Sittin' Santa" is a blatant ripoff of Buzz Clifford's "Baby Sittin' Boogie."
"Merry Christmas Baby" was produced by Leiber & Stoller for their RED BIRD label and written by Rudy Clark of "The Shoop Shoop Song" and "If You Gotta Make a Fool of Somebody" fame. (Annie Van Auken, Bomp)trax:
1. Christmas Is My Time Of Year - Christmas Spirit 2. Twistin' Bells - Santo & Johnny 3. Mr Santa Claus - Nathaniel Mayer 4. Santa And The Sidewalk Surfer - The Turtles 5. Merry Christmas Baby - The Poets 6. Baby-Sittin' Santa - Barry Richards 7. Don't Believe In Christmas - The Sonics 8. Dancing With Santa - The Trashmen 9. Wear A Smile At Christmas - Paul Revere And The Raiders 10. Winter Wonderland - Aretha Franklin 11. Monster Holiday - Bobby 'Boris' Pickett & The Crypt Kickers 12. Christmas Spirit - The Wailers 13.
