A Christmas Record
Various Artists
Released:
Jan 2008
Label:
Ze Records
From Was (Not Was)'s Detroit-soup-kitchen free-funk to Davitt Sigerson's lovely Xmas card for his geographically dispersed family to the Waitresses' unforgettable-unlike-those-cranberries "Christmas Wrapping," A Christmas Record, when first released on downtown NYC's great new wave dance label ZE in 1981, was harder to humbug than any rock-era holiday compilation not produced by Phil Spector. Of five songs added in subsequent pressings, only James Chance's jingle-blurting "Christmas With Satan" kills. But despite a bit of cabaret-campy filler, this remains a December party essential.
