• Track Listing

10" LP with rare Christmas songs by Canadian artists. Richard Weize, creative mastermind of legendary label BEAR FAMILY and one of Germany's most renowned music experts, presents some rare, unheard and often unreleased recordings on his new label RICHARD WEIZE ARCHIVES. Presented on 10" vinyl in a gatefold cover. You wouldn't think of an album called "Christmas in the Tropics," would you? Santa, sleighbells, reindeer, trees covered in snow or tinsel, nestled inside and outside cozy, warmly lit homes. That's 'Christmas Up North' - Christmas in Canada. These images, plus a dash of vintage rock 'n' roll, run through the songs on this collection. They offer a glimpse into a more innocent time and place. For every Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot and Paul Anka there were a dozen Bev Munros, Ted Daigles and Rusty Wellingtons. You've never heard their stories or their songs before. Sixty years later, this album gives you a rare chance to do just that. Take it!
