CHRISTMAS.

"HERITAGE."

Christmas: "Heritage" 1970 Canada/Daffodil. Disc has some light surface scuffs, it plays M- or very close except for a small needlemark at the beginning of side one that causes a skip on my turntable. The gatefold cover is very clean. You may know that this cover has white textured paper on the outside... it seems to suck dirt out of the air. Finding one clean white like this is no simple task. There's some wear at the top of the spine and the seams are starting to split on the pocket, but still I think you will have a hard time upgrading it. Has the scarce lyric insert, this is in nice shape as well. RARE ORIGINAL PRESSING of the excellent second LP by Bob Bryden's great hard rock band from Ontario Canada with lots of loud guitar on long, tightly-structured songs, it's a collector favorite for good reason! I have set a reserve on this LP because I love it and I know I probably won't ever find another, at least not in this shape. Thank you for visiting my auction. I can ship this LP to you for $4.00 by Media Mail or $8.50 by Priority Mail. I ship worldwide. Airmail postage to overseas destinations is $16.00 for 1st Class Airmail. If you are in Canada, 1st Class Airmail is $8.00.

Here’s an excerpt from Vernon Joynson’s psych reference
"Dreams Fantasies & Nightmares" about the group & their recordings.

Led by Bob Bryden, who had earlier played in the Toronto, Ontario-based Reign Ghost,
Christmas played in Oshawa, Ontario, between 1970-74.
In the later years they were known as Spirit Of Christmas.
When they formed on Christmas Day in 1969 their average age was just 17.
Christmas is best described as a progressive underground band.
They were originally known as Black Christmas
Heritage consists of heavy progressive underground rock and has its moments,
particularly on Zephyr Song, April Mountain, which has some fine guitar work,
and the title track. All the songs on the album were written and arranged by Bryden.
Lies To Live By is really their finest moment and arguably one of the best albums
to come out of Canada in the 1970s. Very imaginative progressive rock.
Almost every track is excellent and this album is strongly recommended.
