Recommend Some Festive Listening Albums

    Love it or hate it, it's coming up to that time of year again and all the shops have started playing the usual annoying songs over and over and over... non-stop.

    It's not all bad though. I'm happy enough to wear out A Christmas Gift From Phil Spector once again, in fact I look forward to it.

    Last year though, just before Christmas, I finally got hold of a rare gem on cd, an album that I'd already downloaded and purchased on vinyle. I think it makes for great listening around this time of year as it's got that classic Spector sound to it, combined with the unique style and warmth of Cyndi Lauper's vocals.

    Basically I absolutely love this album and can't recommend it highly enough. The group, Blue Angel, were a late 70's act and released this their one and only album in 1980, four years before Cyndi made here solo breakthrough.

    Unfortunately it's only available from speciality record label, Hip-O Select, and is apparently limited to 5000 copies but is still available and can be purchased here. For anyone considering buying it you should check out the great review from allmusic here.
