After you are finishing up your Christmas dinner’s in two days, I think it would be a great treat to the whole family to show off a classic punk Christmas 45″. Throw out the Bing Crosby and Burl Ives records at your house, Crass’s Merry Crassmas is the only record you need for this time of the year.  It has every bit of Christmas magic that families everywhere should enjoy while eating their cookies and drinking milk waiting for Kris Kringle.

After the first line from a jolly fellow comes 18 instrumental versions of Crass songs done in a cheery christmas style done on cheap casio keyboards.  Originally if you sent a postcard in with the 18 songs written out you would win a contest. Although I think the contest for the 1st place with a prize of some bath salts, 2nd place with a prize of an Exploited LP and the 3rd place prize for 2 Exploited LP’s are probably all gone. If you wanna try your luck, here is the listing;

Jingle Bells – Big A, Little A – Punk Is Dead – You’ve Got Big Hands – Contaminational Power – I Ain’t Thick, It’s Just A Trick – Shaved Women – Big Man, Big M.A.N. – While Shepherds Watched – Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer – Securicor – Darling – G’s Song – Banned From The Roxy – Tired – So What – Do They Owe Us A Living? – Silent Night

If you are still listening to the EP with your family make sure you stop it a little early on SIDE B, I’m sure Grandpa and Grandma do not want to hear “And if you’re munching your delicious turkey at the moment…I HOPE IT FUCKING CHOKES YOU!!!”
