I always ask for music for Christmas. It's an easy one for people to get me. Never disappoints (unless it is a bad pressing). Last year i got some Buddy Rich stuff and a few Miles Davis to fill the gaps in my collection.
This year i asked for Cannonball Adderley, Art Blakey, Count Basie and some other jazz stuff..I usually go to town with my wife and end up buying myself a Christmas present too

Re: Music for Christmas
Went in to York yesterday and bought a few Cd's. Looked at vinyl but the prices were a bit eye watering.Fancied a Stevie Nicks LP box set but eventually talked myself out of it.
Bought the following on CD
Ozzy Osbourne - Randy Rhoades Tribute (to replace the copy i lost - bet it turns up now )
The Comet is coming - Trust in the lifeforce of the deep mystery
Dinosaur - Wonder trail
The Raconteurs - Help us stranger

Re: Music for Christmas
I was in HMV earlier this week.
They had a 'special edition' box set of the Ramones 'It's Alive' double live album...£93.
I bought the original, the week it came out, for around £6, iirc...which seemed like a lot of money!

Re: Music for Christmas
You can also play the Last Christmas game with your friends and family.
Last person to hear Last Christmas by George Michael is the winner.

Re: Music for Christmas
Got some music for christmas, and bought music for people for Christmas.
My wife pulled a blinder this year though, she got me placebo without you I'm nothing on vinyl, and a very early 1979 Japanese pressed mofi copy of dark side of the moon..... Where the hell she got that from I don't know....
I got her souxsie and the banshees - juju, joy division-closer and the labyrinth soundtrack.
My mother in law got me placebos debut album and the cure torn down album for my wife.
Music. Can't do without it

Re: Music for Christmas
My grandchildren thought it would be funny to burn Grandad a copy of Stormzy's "Heavy Is The Head," after hearing me talking about his politics. It's not awful.
