On this episode, Charles and I discuss an album which peaked at #13 on the Billboard charts in the spring of 1968 and was certified gold by the RIAA.

Welcome to Episode 11 of Holly Jolly X'masu! For my first Christmas episode, I’m discussing one of the most amazing albums ever created, Jun Fukamachi’s Now Sound Christmas. It truly is remarkable. It showcases Fukamachi’s wide-ranging musical talent and is a listening experience unlike any other. As I mention in the episode, Now Sound Christmas was extremely hard to come by. Like a few other albums I’ve gotten, it took a blend of persistence and luck. One thing my Christmas music collecting friends will talk about is the thrill of crate diving—in other words, digging through the dusty old crates of Christmas albums at their local record shops or thrift stores, those boxes that only get dragged out of storage two or three months each year, or when they find a sympathetic clerk. They talk about how excited they get when, while flipping past the same old copies of Ed Ames, Roger Whitaker and Andre Kostelanetz they’ve seen a thousand times, they finally stumble across some rare import or obscure Jimmy Smith album. For me, all my “crate diving” is done online. That doesn’t make it any less exciting, though, when I find a listing for an album I didn’t think I’d ever have a chance to purchase or bid on. I don’t always win, but finding them at least gives me hope that I’ll get them eventually. Now Sound Christmas is one of those I didn’t think I’d ever own. The fact that even the obscure, shady sites had no hint of it was one of those factors that convinced me I’d have to start buying some of these albums. I was so anxious while waiting for it to arrive that I lost sleep. Considering how bad my insomnia has been since the pandemic started, that made for a really rough couple of days. As I’ve mentioned, when it arrived, one of the things that fascinated me was staring at the liner notes, wondering what background or other interesting information they might contain. I finally translated them while preparing for this episode and found that they’re basically a promo for the album. The first few paragraphs tell record store owners how cool the album is and they really need to carry it this Christmas season, mainly because synthesizers are the hip, new thing. There’s then a bit of history for each of the traditional songs. Nothing groundbreaking, but it was cool to finally know what they said. This quickly became one of my all-time favorite Christmas albums and is the centerpiece of my Japanese music collection. The only thing that really comes close is Chiemi Eri’s “Chiemi Sings Christmas Carols,” and possibly my autographed copy of pro wrestler Thunder Sugiyama’s Christmas album, both of which I’ll get to eventually. For me, Now Sound Christmas ranks right up there with A Christmas Together, by John Denver and the Muppets. For those who don’t know me, that’s really saying something. This is an album that, in years to come, will be one of those I turn to first every Christmas season. I sincerely hope you enjoy it. As always, thanks for listening. Next month, I’ll be kicking off my second season with Ginji Ito’s Winter Wonder Land. It’s a fun, lighthearted album. With any luck, it will help usher in a brighter 2021. Be sure to check it out. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions or recommendations, feel free to send them my way. Also, be sure to check out some of the other Christmas podcasts mentioned in this month’s episodes. They’re a great way to keep Christmas going year-round. Any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line at hollyjollyxmasu@gmail.com and let me know. Remember, I've added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you'd like to support me one cup of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. Any donations received will be put towards purchasing new Japanese Christmas music to review for future episodes. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. And if you get a chance, leave me a review on iTunes. Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

Herman's Hermits [00:30] "I Can Take or Leave Your Loving" MGM Records K 13885 Reached number 22 on the US charts. Bobby Darin [03:02] "Mack the Knife" ATCO Records 45-6147 1959 Bobby Darin's number one smash hit interpretation of the Berthold Brecht/Kurt Weill classic. The Fabulous Echoes [06:07] "Please Leave Her to Me" Liberty Records 55755 1964 Hong Kong garage rockers who would eventually become part of Don Ho's circle of musicians. Victor Lundberg [08:24] "Open Letter to My Teenage Son" Liberty Records 55996 1967 Phew... that may be the longest 4 minutes and 23 seconds of my life. Oh those rascally teenagers. This spent exactly 6 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100, peaking out at number 10. Vic Dana [14:05] "Lovey Kravezit" Dolton Records No. 317 1966 Definitely a new one by me. Evidently inspired by a character from the C-grade James Bond cash-in The Silencers featuring Dean Martin as Matt Helm. The character in question is portrayed by Beverly Adams, who also appeared in two other Matt Helm vehicles, as well as How to Stuff a Wild Bikini as the object of Eric Von Zipper's affections and the Bewitched episode "George the Warlock" as Dora "D. D." Danger O'Riley The Buckinghams [16:32] "Kind of a Drag" U.S.A. Records TM 1783 1966 A number one hit on the Hot 100 for this Chicago band. Wayne Fontana [18:37] "Pamela, Pamela" MGM Records K 13661 1966 So this is what Wayne gets up to without the Mindbenders. Who kissed whom in the woods? Dude, you're totally crossing pop culture references. Irma Thomas [20:48] "Some Things You Never Get Used To" Imperial Records 66095 1965 A mighty fine single from the Soul Queen of New Orleans. Somehow this Van McCoy single never gained any traction on the charts. However it did become a big hit on the Northern Soul scene. Ed Ames [25:01] "My Cup Runneth Over" RCA Victor 47-9002 1967 A number one hit on... the Adult Contemporary charts in 1967 from one of the Ames Brothers and frequent portrayer of Native Americans on television. Three Dog Night [27:45] "Joy to the World" Dunhill/ABC Records 45-4272 Three Dog Night bringin us their 1971 smash hit. Penned by Hoyt Axton, this easily made it to the number spot on the Hot 100. Jimmy Holiday [31:08] "Baby I Love You" Minit MIN 32002 1966 Some quality soul from who helped compose "Put a Little Love in Your Heart". This single reached number 98 on the Hot 100 and number 21 on the R&B charts. Brewer and Shipley [33:43] "One Toke Over the Line" Kama Sutra KA-516 1970 Yeah, somehow this one made it to number 10 on the Hot 100 despite Spiro Agnew's protestations. And produced by Occidental, California resident Nick Gravenites. The Osmonds [38:13] "One Bad Apple" MGM Records K 14193 1970 If this number one gold record sounds like The Jackson 5, well that's because it was written by papa George Jackson. Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels [41:02] "Devil with a Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly" New Voice Records 817 1967 This uptempo version of Shorty Long's "Devil..." reached number 4 on the hot 100, the most successful outing. King Harvest [44:19] "Dancing in the Moonlight" Percecption Records P 515 1972 Zut alors, a little number from a Paris-based band King Harvest. This made it up to number 13 on the Hot 100. The 5th Dimension [47:18] "Save the Country" Bell Records B 895 1970 The most succesful recording of this Laura Nyro tune, reaching as far as number 27 on the Hot 100. Music behind the DJ: "Mack the Knife" by Dick Hyman
