10inch - VA - Christmas Up North

(2017/Richard Weize Archives) 10" LP - gatefold cover - 12 rare tracks - Christmas in Canada

Canadians take Christmas almost as seriously as hockey. There are hundreds, if not thousands of Christmas songs written and performed by Canadian artists, including at least one by a hockey player, Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Johnny Bower.

Many believe that Santa's home at the North Pole is in fact in Canada. In any case, the jolly old fellow certainly has his own Canadian postal code: HOH OHO. So, what we have on offer is a selection of vintage Canadian yuletide cheer, including not one but two Beatles novelties, and two completely different songs with the same title!
