I've been working on this year's xmas cd comp and I'm trying to get the perfect eclectic mix on one CD using my current collection.  I'm having a hard time deleting several BB songs (and Spector group songs) to make room for a lot of other great holiday songs.


So, which two BB xmas songs should I  keep?  And while we're at it, which two Christmas Gift for You songs?

'Winter Symphony' and 'The Man with All the Toys' (the BW WIRWFC version rather than the BB version).

I've always liked "Christmas Day" by the BBs. It's an underrated song that captures my sentimental side this time of the year if nothing else...

The BB's 'White Christmas', for that PERFECT, PERFECT ending. I just love that note he holds, for some reason.

From the Spector, you've got to have 'Baby Please Come Home', if nothing else. Or 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town', owner of my favourite drum fill committed to tape (After the first chorus, in case you were interested).

I know there are plenty of Spector sessions booted (i used to have them, but inexplicably deleted them), but does the instrumental track to 'Silent Night' exist? If so, I would be pretty happy to find out about them? Thanks....  Grin

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

I'd say keep Spector and The Beach Boys as separate entities and just make a compilation of everything else that's good.

I've done both.      I can't limit a xmas comp to one Darlene love song.   Hmmmmmm, maybe 2 of Darlene, and 2 of the Ronnettes.  2 of the Beach boys, 2 of BW xmas........that might work.   But then there are dozens of others to sort out.    The idea is to make one 90 minute disc.

I could just keep playing those random mix comp playlists over and over...........

Ya think we'll still get a new BW christmas song this year? 
We sure deserve one!

I was just listening to the new Paul Simon Xmas song on his site, downloadable for free at  paulsimon.com
At least it's new to me....

For decades my family's choice has been the epic "Fu*k Christmas" by FEAR.

Pretty much sums up the consumerism of the holidays.

Now this tune might be well worth the search, but I'm a fan of Mike's Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas...I think he recorded back in the early 80s

Sure, that's on his Radio Shack LP  "Christmas Party"
Some guy on Ebay has three sealed ones you can buy now for $15, or less if he likes your offer...  
oops, forgot the url:  http://cgi.ebay.com/RADIO-SHACK-MIKE-LOVE-CHRISTMAS-PARTY-LP-SEALED-/400178803472
Not saying you might not find one cheaper somewhere else, only that I found these...

I heard Mike was buying all the copies, some reason he thought they might be worth something.

No Xmas compliation would be complete without the all-time favourite by Kevin Bloody Wilson "Hey Santa Claus".

Be warned. Be very warned that if you find this song, it's lyrics are illicit.
