put on your Christmas jacket

Here's a fun collection of Vintage Christmas Album Covers, and more here at the Strange Christmas Album Covers Flickr set.

Some flapjax faves from the Strange Christmas Album Covers Flickr set:

Jul med Jularbo has gotta be one swingin' band...
Santa Watch Your Claws... you KNOW that's GOT to be, uh, good...
Nuttin' for Christmas for the creepy/somewhat disturbing puppetry action,
and of course, the magnificent Heino.

And I'm wondering if this musical offering from one Mrs. Mills was a sneaky attempt to cash in on the Mrs. Miller phenomenon...

And thanks to MeFi's own moonmilk, who posted the Vintage Christmas Album Covers link on Facebook earlier today. Merry Christmas, moonmilk!

Thanks for these. The Christmas category over at LPCover Lover is also worth a look.

"A Christmas Message from Yoko"... I think I'll pass. "Christmas at the Waffle House". Yay!

Thanks, flapjax! I just used these to make some groovy wrapping paper for my mother.

Nothing says "Happy Holidays" like a Christmas Tree fondling a beautiful babe's thigh.

This guy looks like he is celebrating "Shark Christmas" rather than "White Christmas."


This cover is great because of the air conditioner in the background; it was obviously shot in someone's living room.

I love this stuff. Thanks!

The Adventures in Carols is one of my favorite album covers.
