This volume consists of 32 Christmas tracks, recorded by some of the best musicians from the rock, soul, blues, folk, and country scene, like Bob Dylan and Rufus Wainwright. Available now as a limited edition on white (LP1) and light green (LP2) vinyl.

Film fans, particularly those who enjoy superhero movies, can celebrate Christmas in style with A Very Spidey Christmas. This EP features five songs recorded for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It is available on white vinyl (side A) and a full colour picture (side B).
