Provenance

Where it came from

This 1976 pressing was released by United Artists Records to capitalize on the enduring popularity of Ross Bagdasarian Sr.'s novelty act, The Chipmunks. By the mid-1970s, the characters had become a seasonal staple of American holiday music, and this single paired two of their most recognizable tracks to maintain visibility during the Christmas season.

The recording features the signature high-pitched vocal style created by Bagdasarian, who achieved the effect by speeding up magnetic tape recordings of his own voice. While Alvin and the Chipmunks began as a mid-century experiment in studio technology, these later pressings served as nostalgic commodities, reflecting the group's transition from 1950s cultural phenomenon to a permanent fixture of holiday pop culture.
