It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at Delos, so we thought we would celebrate with a a fun contest! In our contest we’ll be featuring a short sample from a track on one of our Christmas albums, and your job will be to name the track and the album! We’ll make it easier on you by limiting your choices to 5 albums, and by giving you links to the track listings on those albums. The first three people to give us the answers here on the blog, on the Delos Facebook Page, or on Twitter will get to chose one of the five featured albums! How’s that for a Christmas gift?
Here are the albums these samples will be coming from (click title to see album/track information):
