They were previously released on a quartet of seasonal LPs: 1992’s The Christmas Album,  1994’s The Christmas Album Volume II, 2009’s A Cherry Cherry Christmas, and 2016’s Acoustic Christmas.

If you haven't got all four in your collection, worry not, as Neil has personally selected his very favourite songs from his past releases, and combined them into one bumper Christmas compilation.
