Christmas Songs ... CD 
King/Universal (Japan), 1966. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
One of the few rare Christmas albums that James Brown recorded in the 60s – all really wonderful, really memorable records that go way past the usual Holiday fare! Sure, there's a few sentimental tracks that have the familiar spirit of the holiday, but there's also some funky moments too ... read more CD

Funky Christmas ... CD King/Universal, Late 60s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Excellent funky Christmas – essential for any soulful holiday celebration! Not everyone knows it, but James Brown cut a fair number of Christmas albums during the 60s – thre albums, and a bunch of singles to be exact! They're all super-rare, but this great collection brings together ... read more CD
James Brown —
Hey America – Christmas ... CD King/Universal (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The last, and most obscure of James Brown's Christmas albums of the King years – and quite possibly the hippest too! Given that James is shouting "Hey America" in the title, he's clearly going for a righteous and semi-political tone on the set – singing Holiday tunes, but ... read more CD
Carpenters —
Old Fashioned Christmas ... CD A&M/Universal (Japan), 1984. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A slightly bittersweet Christmas album from The Carpenters – given that the set was issued after the too-early death of the lovely Karen Carpenter, and stands as both a Holiday record and a farewell to the charms of this legendary pop duo! The music is a nicely evolved version of their ... read more CD
Dr Seuss/
Universal, 1966. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A record that's almost as wonderful as the cartoon on which it was based – thanks to Boris Karloff narration, words by Dr Seuss, and some mighty weird lyrics sung by Thurl Ravenscroft – all of which make the audio portion of this famous Holiday cartoon just as great as the visuals! ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Platters —
Christmas With The Platters ... CD Mercury/Universal (Japan), 1963. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
It's a smooth smooth Christmas from The Platters – heard here in their wonderful 1963 Christmas album! The set follows in the style of the group's late 50s hits – but with a sound that's a bit more tuned to the season, and not as much in the late nite smoochy mode of some of their more ... read more CD
Various —
Christmas Crooners ... LP Universal (France), 1940s/1950s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Classic singers take on the sound of the season – in the kind of collection that really takes aim at those years when the world of Christmas records really started to explode! The tunes here mix some of the paternalistic voices of TV Christmas specials with some that are more in the world of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Various —
Christmas Ladies ... LP Universal (France), 1950s/1960s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Classic Christmas cuts from a range of female singers – some jazzy, some a bit more pop – almost all recording these sweet little gems in the postwar years, during a huge boom of Holiday music in the US! Titles include "Snowbound" by Sarah Vaughan, "The Christmas ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jazzy Christmas ... LP Universal (France), 1950s/1960s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A jazzy Christmas, but a vocal one too – as the set mixes together instrumental jazz with cuts from key singers of the postwar years – all in a package that makes for a mighty nice take on the sounds of the season! Titles include "Blue Xmas" by Miles Davis with Bob Dorough, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Various —
Noel Chanson Francaise ... LP Universal (France), 1950s/1960s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
One of the most unusual Christmas albums you'll ever buy – at least if you're an American like us – as all the work here is from a variety of different French singers, which makes for a very different spin on the season! Yet even if you can't understand the lyrics, there's plenty here ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Various —
Rock & Roll Christmas ... LP Universal (France), Late 50s/Early 60s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A whole host of classic rock and roll Christmas tunes – plus a few great doo wop numbers as well – all brought together in a single package with a great sort of late 50s vibe! Titles include "I'm Gonna Lasso Santa Claus" and "Rockin Around The Christmas Tree" by ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
