Notes

Les Disques du Crépuscule presents an expanded edition of classic festive album Ghosts of Christmas Past, featuring favourites from the original 1981 and 1982 editions now joined by newer tracks by Crépuscule artists. It's released on 30 November 2015 as TWI 158 CD.

Sometimes witty, sometimes melancholic, the original version of Ghosts of Christmas Past in November 1981 featured exclusive contributions from luminaries such as Tuxedomoon, The Durutti Column, Paul Haig, Michael Nyman, Aztec Camera, Thick Pigeon and The Names. Subsequent editions in 1982 and 1986 added songs by Antena, Mikado, The French Impressionists, Pale Fountains and Winston Tong.

The two Durutti Column tracks are Snowflakes and One Christmas For Your Thoughts.

For this new double CD version in 2015 Crépuscule have now added more chantons noel by Blaine L. Reininger, Section 25, The Wake, Marsheaux, Deux Filles, Stanton Miranda, Virna Lindt, B Music and Ultramarine.

Festive cover art is by Jean-Francois Octave and the remastered 2CD package comes in a deluxe 6-panel digipack.

Available to buy direct from Les Disques du Crépuscule mail order.

UPDATE May 2023: Apologies for hiatus on maintenance and updates. Work ongoing to address lack of functionality around the creation of automated indexes due to FeedBurner's capabilities being severely reduced. During this time the main index running in reverse chronological order is unavailable. Please use the category indexes which enable searching by record label, year and format. There is also an A-Z index which groups all major releases by name for easy reference.
