The first record player in our household arrived in the early 60s and my mother got from the World Record Club an LP of Christmas songs and music called "Winter Sunshine". I think it was a bit jazzier than she expected but I liked it and it came out every Christmas when I was at school. At some point the player and the records ended up in the loft.

Time passes and the inevitable happens and the records came to me. A few years ago I finally got a vintage Philips player of the period and rekindled some memories. I can report that "Winter Sunshine" is due to have the dust blown off once more.
