The party’s over and your brain feels like an alley cat’s foreskin. If the Phil Spector album’s got a hole in it, this roistering set from California’s finest is a definite spiritlifter for the day of relatives and parson’s nose-tweaking. Faves like ’Santa Claus Is Coming To Town’, ’Santa’s Beard’ and ’Frosty The Snowman’ from the drug period are here in all their California sunshine-drenched glory, plus another 20 or so more. ’Santa’s Got An Airplane’ introduces an element of acid techno weirdness. A once-a-year frivolity guaranteed to restore grins.
