The good, the bad and the curious of Yuletide music.

Here’s one for the Doctor Who fans. Or maybe not, as the case might be. This 1964 single A-side starts out very promising with 1960s-style futuristic effects and the Peter Gunn riff, but then it gets all gimmicky in a rather annoying way. So what is it doing in the Advent Calendar? Well, “gimmicky” and “annoying” is a bit of what the Calendar is about, isn’t it? Plus, the cool single sleeve alone justifies its inclusion.
Listen to I'm Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek.
Not available on Spotify, but the link takes you to the playlist for this year's Advent Calendar, where you can listen to the other selections so far.
The Spotify playlist for all the previous Advent Calendars is here. Note: The playlist is incomplete, as some of my calendar selections are just too obscure for Spotify.
A cool single sleeve housing a rather less cool recording.
