Really?! Geez, there are variations! Now completists have two of these damned things to find!
As it turns out, the father Christmas picture was generic for the full series as listed on that particular side (well, if the picture was used, that is...). See this Joy Division LP for instance

Anyways, many thanks for this charming little oddity!
But I do hope we still have another Christmas coming this year... :?

I had no idea so many people were interested in this. I would have shared it years ago!

Yes, side 1 has a list of other lps in the series, including Duran Duran and other 80s bands. Not sure what the label was.

Somehow I'd like to think it was very early Yellow Dog but I seriously doubt it.
I'd be more interesting what sources these came from, were they new home recordings or much older boots.
Hmm the passage of time...

I'm sure I have one of these in the loft with many other LPs I accumulated between 1980 and 1995.

I'll see what picture is on mine.

None of it was from older boots. It was all from unbooted sources.
