Motörhead “Ace of Spades” Christmas Edition, 1980
I’ve compiled what I think is a pretty cool collection of Christmas album covers from tons of different artists - many that you have probably heard of and, many more that you may not have heard of that you will want to add to your holiday record collection immediately.
Shonen Knife, A Shonen Knife Christmas Record For You, 1991
Bad Religion “Father Christmas” 7” single. Get it here.
Tiny Tim’s Christmas Album, 1994
When it comes to album covers, there are some true gems in this post, such as the super snarly Motörhead “Ace of Spades” Christmas Edition from 1980 record above (that was once the subject of my yearly Christmas card), the fantastic Shonen Knife record, A Shonen Knife Christmas Record For You, and UK punks The Boys (recording as The Yobs) from 1979, The Yobs’ Christmas Album. That said, there are a few Christmas album covers records that follow (many of which you can buy yourself with a little Googling) that could be considered slightly NSFW. YAY!
Eartha Kitt, “Santa Baby” single - 1953
Mae West Wild Christmas, 1966
Jacob Miller and Ray I, Natty Christmas, 1978. Get it here.
Many more festive, but perhaps unexpected Christmas record covers after the jump…
