RépondreSupprimerUnfortunately, this was not the album I was looking for. It's an easy mistake, the RLT's SECOND christmas album has ALMOST EXACTLY the same title as their first, it's just called "MORE Sounds of Christmas".

Anyway, I'm sure many other followers of your blog will enjoy this classic christmas album. Their second album is much more rare than the first so if you ever happen across it ...
Thank you again. :-)
Thank you.
