you have two better j.b. xmas choices than this ...

don't get me wrong, i love jb; but this album has a *huge* xmas gap in the godfather of soul's catalog and that is that it does not contain "santa claus go straight to the ghetto." not only is this the best jb xmas song, but it's also superb to memorize and then bellow back at those chirpy little carollers during the yule tide season.



you need to buy either "santa's got a brand new bag," the bargain choice (with a super great pic of j.b. dressed up in full st. nick gear); or mr. brown's "christmas collection: 20th century masters [remastered]" (which is really just a re-issue of "funky christmas"), THE choice of the other two if you want to plunk down a couple more bucks.



get j.b. for xmas, you won't regret it. just don't get this one.
