Turned this one up in one of my regular go-tos for the princely sum of one dollar American. It's quite a find, considering it'd run me around $40 to snag a copy from Discogs. Here's Jake and the boys, in their first bootleg appearance, dating from the days between the release of "Inflammable Material" and "Nobody's Heroes". So, you know, the good stuff.
Originally released as a white label 12" titled "Christmas Album" back in 1981, this CD pressing of 1,000 units dates from 1989, on the short-lived, well-named Limited Edition Records. It also got a vinyl pressing of 2,000 pieces on a really sweet looking opaque green.
Enjoy the boys from Belfast in one of their earliest, liveliest lineups.
