It seems likely, given everything that’s happened since 1979 that RF is probably not on the EG Christmas card list nowadays.

This track is available for download as part of a bumper collection of Mr Stormy's Monday Selections - his first year of random romps through the murky, cavernous DGM archives, torch in hand, fedora upon his head.

Thanks for this.I’d long heard about RF’s "Silent Night" in collectors’ listings, but hitherto it proved as elusive as the proverbial hen’s teeth or rocking horse doody!My 1980 copy of "Volume: The International Discography of the New Wave"[!] tells me that "Silent Night a la Frippertronics" (as it was called) was originally on a RED flexidisc (102579X5) given away with the Vol.1, No.2, December 1979 edition of "Praxis Magazine" and, as you mention, was also sent out as a Christmas ...
