Written by Bob Heatlie and produced by Dave Edmunds, this was Shakin' Stevens' fourth and last Number 1 single in the UK. Originally planned for release in 1984, Shaky nobly postponed it a year so that it wouldn't clash with the original version of Band Aid's 'Do They Know It's Christmas'.
Fianlly released in 1985 it was the Xmas Number 1 for that year, subsequently being included on seemingly every festive compilation since.
Says Pulco: "Now it's not something I'd normally
think about recording but when asked by my friends Martin & Huw to do
a cover of a classic Christmas tune for their excellent radio show 'Take Off Your
Sunglasses' I totally jumped at the chance. The resulting masterpiece is my version of Shaky's
80's favourite 'Merry Christmas Everyone'.
