The third and final Chipmunks Christmas upload (for this year, anyway!) is the 1958 release called "The Chipmunk Song". Written by Ross Bagdasarian Sr. (also known as David Seville) and perfomed by our three Chipmunk friends (although some people, unbelievably, have said that it is David Seville's voice recorded at a different speed - we know that's not true though).

This song was hugely successful upon release and has been re-recorded several times since. This is a UK pressing on the London "American Recordings" label.

It is played here on the Regentone Handy-gram player from the mid 1950s. It's a very basic unit with a cardboard case, although the solidly made BSR UA6 auto changer makes it rather heavy to carry!

Merry Christmas!

  • @spannerworks1 Hi Richard,

    Thank you for the comments, as always! I had a very pleasant Christmas. I hope you did too and that you have a very happy and prosperous 2012!

    Warm Regards, Neil.

  • How fun to have this on 78!! I truly adore this record player!!! Thanks for sharing with us!

  • @RaymondTVinyl Thanks! The record player has been with me for years and has never been restored in any way (other than a quick clean). Not bad for a machine over 50 years old! Merry Christmas!

see all

  • @seeburgsrock Thank you! I think we were a little later over here discontinuing the 78rpm format. I used to have a 78 dated 1960, but sadly it got broken!

    Merry Christmas!
