My favorite part of this record is without doubt the totally out of place and poorly performed bluesy ending.

As is often the case, I've buried the lead here by featuring the topical song first. The real interest here is on the flip side, "My Substitute". This is a gem of a peppy number, but rather than be specific, I'll just say that the item being used as a substitute does not disappoint, nor does the truly unexpected style of the solo section..

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S MERRY TO YOU AND YOURS!!!

The verse parts of "My Substitute" sound like they're played and sung a lot like much of "There Ain't No Reason". (http://bobpurse.blogspot.com/2013/03/hooray-for-mike-thomas.html)
The bass-and-drum solo part also sound very similar to the bass-drum-and-guitar solos on that song as well.
Both good songs, here. Especially the first featured number here. That ending makes life worth all the disappointing, painful, dreadful, dark, dreaded, evil, pointless tribulations that plague all of mankind. Thanx for these.......!
This 45 is apparently from a transision period before Tin Pan Alley started putting the ® after the name. The words "Trade Mark Reg." were printed on the label.
