Many thanks for the Grants Christmas, i have such fond memories of Grants ,especially at Christmas, my Mom and i would go there and she would always get the new album every year..we still miss Grants but now thanks to you we have the music again!
God Bless!
B.
Thanks. This reminds me that I never got around to sharing Volume 6.
When I was a kid in the 1960's there was no Wal-Mart or Target. The 3 favorite stores here for a kid back then were Grant's, Woolworth's and J. J. Newberry's. They had the best toys and music in town here. I guess Sears would have been great for toys as well, but in those days our family only shopped there once a year, and that was for back to school clothes.
My Dad back then was just a beginning lineman for the phone company, and it was a struggle at times for a family of 5. So the cheap prices you could get at places like Grant's were a blessing. My Dad still uses his first 7 1/2 foot Grant's artifical, green Christmas tree that looks as good as new even now almost 40 years later. He got it on clearance for $10.00 the Winter that our Grant's closed down. I think it was about 1970.
Dave
Any chance of volume 6 going up or is it posted somewhere else on the web?
Sorry to hear you might be giving things up. I understand though, time and cash. Thanks for the lps you posted.
Yes it will be going up this week along with another LP from Ronald Colman and Charles Laughton.
Dave
Thank you so much for these volumes!!
Ok. The Gary Puckett Track on Volume 4 has now been updated!!!
Dave
I have "A very Merry Christmas" Volumes 7 & 8 that I will be working on very soon. My uncle has volume 7 down in Florida.
That's cool. I'd appeciate front and back scans whenver possible to, or at least photos of each. I never knew there was a 7 & * until a few months ago. I thought 1 - 6 were it.
Dave
Dave, I'm also working on the last two volumes of WT Grants "A Very Merry Christmas" Volumes 7 and 8 that I will be adding very soon. Volumes 4 through 7 was from RCA and volume 8 was on Capitol. This was the only "Very Merry Christmas" LP to be released on the Capitol label which was Capitol Special Markets (formerly Capitol Creative Products).
I only have volume 8 but it's missing the album cover, but I don't have the LP cover for volume 8, but I hope if someone has it, please me know. Thanks!
Thanks.
Erick from Monsterama just sold me his copy of Volume 7, but he didn't have 8.
Dave
Here is the back cover of volume 7.

Now the Grant's Very Merry Christmas albums volumes 1 through 8 is completed. Enjoy!
THanks. You saved me a lot of time. I actually have the Volume 7 LP now thanks to Erick at Monsterama, but don't have it ripped so I'll use yours if that is ok? Volume 8 I don't have yet so that will save me time as well.
BTW - you can make links clickable in Blogspot post by using the HTML coding of a href="" NAME /a. With the proper brackets of course.
Dave
Dave -
WOW! I didn't even know the Grant's collection had a volumes 7 and 8! I can't wait ti wrap myself around these finds.
Thanks to you and Sharon for all the great work!
-Tim
The links for Volumes 7 & 8 do not work. Any fixes? Thanks for the great music.
Yeah makes a lot of sense for MegaUpload to delete the files for 7 and 8, and not 1 -6 doesn't it. Shows you what kind of morons are running that website. I'll be re-sharing all of my missing files soon. Right now because of the season I am concentrating on re-sharing all of my Halloween files first.
Dave
Hi Dave,
I'm glad you got the record. I hope you can find a place to host your shares that won't delete them. You have some incredible records.
By the way, my blog is Wonderful Wonderblog. Monsterama2000 is my screen name. Monsterama is a different blog.
Sorry about that. I knew that. CRS kicked in.
Dave
