Well, you can't blame me for wanting to believe in Santa, er, Surfdog. I got caught up in the holiday spirit, not wanting to believe double dipping had occured. It's not like I was there when ALL the tracks were recorded...

You might say I was missin'a ll the information.

We all want to still believe in Santa....

Brian,
good attemp, but.... I am one of those nay-sayers!!

I'll get it for the collection, for sure, but with the Xmas Extravaganza DVD, more than enough. Same songs, same thing...

I'm kind of in this camp, too. I have both studio BSO Christmas albums, and the odd cut here or there from other compilations, the Holiday Xtravaganza DVD, and I've been to 2 BSXO holiday shows (2005 and 2007).

I'd like to hear some holiday tunes that haven't been released before. A new studio album would be fun. I've had a scenario in my head of the BSO playing Dean Martin's "Cool Christmas Blues"

It´s a good album. Brian is such a amazing live player,
he could play old fashioned Polka and i would love to hear it.

what would be cool is our archivers compiling Xmas songs that the straycats may
have down live furing holiday times in the past?? I'm much more a fan of the BSO and current setzer than the Stray Cats these days but ... I too am dying for different
Xmas tunes.

Got my copy today... it took over 3 weeks to arrive from Japan (possibly due to the bad weather conditions in central Europe & UK, since there are no direct flights from Japan to Spain), and I'm listening to it. I am enjoying it a lot, to be honest, it sounds really cool, much better than Dont Mess With A Big Band. Pity that Trouble Train or Batman Theme weren't included there... siiiiigh!
