Ditch the Bublé, this Christmas give your ears the gift of some of the very best alternative Christmas tunes. We've compiled a collection of our most favourite lesser-known Christmas tracks for your aural enjoyment.
Torero Band - Tijuana Christmas: Sounds of Brass.
We’re losing count of the number of spins this truly ridiculous collection of brass carols has had in the shop. We will wear it thin by close on Christmas Eve.
Booker T & The MG’s – Walking In A Winter Wonderland
The whole In The Christmas Spirit record is incredible. So much funk! It’s probably for the best that we don’t have a copy of this on vinyl or serious moovin’ and groovin’ would occur.
James Brown – Let’s Make This Christmas Mean Something This Year
This is pretty intense, listen with caution. It’s not Christmas without the “Funky Christmas” album. Classic.
The Ramones – Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight Tonight)
Probably the greatest punk Christmas song of all human times.
George Thorogood and the Destroyers – Rock and Roll Christmas
Look at the hair! What I’d give to be at that party. This is too damn good, if anyone has this on 7” some serious money will be parted with to add this to the LP collection.
Ray Charles – Merry Christmas Baby
Ray killing it as always.
