What’s your “Recommended Buys” for Yuletide/Christmas/Seasonal music?

The Ultralounge series Christmas Cocktails 1 and 11

Anything but christmas music, Except Pogues and Greg Lake.

My one concession to Christmas music is 'Ring Out, Solstice Bells' by Jethro Tull.

It probably isn't much about Christmas now I think about it

Questions ringing loud and clear about his character, but this record is the quintessential one which appears every year - Phil Spector's 'A Christmas Gift For You'

First one that came to mind for me. Personally I hate Xmas music. Is it me or am I just getting old?

You're just getting old!

I have a love/hate relationship with xmas music myself.. I always humbug that slade nasty!

But fama has recommended something quite jolly, have a listen on spotify, only £4.99 on amazon...

Has anyone got this?

I've been sampling it on spotify...



Sounds very cool, like to get this on vinyl but i thinks it's only available for download...

Found it and it is really good. Could listen to this no problem and in fact listened to most of the series and liked a lot of them.

Yes i too had a listen to that bossa nova on spotity, love it! ...just need to turn up the central heating a bit!

Have a listen to Nucleus Yuletide Jazz... it's very smooth, i want to buy a cd copy but can't find it affordable anyway!

Debs

This is very nice.

At Christmas I enjoy listening to:

Stu,

I always aim to please so here it is.



Merry Christmas

George

Here's one for Munchie!...

Hi Debs,
Is this the prog/rock group?

Chris

I think this is indeed them, Chris.

The more i hear this album the more i want a copy.... but the CD is nearly 20 quid on amazon!

Can't find it for sale anyway else yet
