Post 191 marks the beginning of the Christmas Season for the Ozzie Music Man blog. This month we will only post Australian Christmas music. This little Christmas single was put together by the 1985 Triple M team. recorded for Mushroom Records with the B side featuring Dr. Dan with the Triple M Theme. The single was produced by Chris Gilbey and Rod Thomas. Here to download is "We Wish You A MMMerry Christmas" b/w "The Triple M Theme" (K-9909)
I didn't know the MMM theme was released. I was watching this documentary on it: http://www.triplem.com.au/sydney/music/news/blog/the-birth-of-dr-dan/20100607-8sdf.html and they said it was rerecorded for release in 1990 so I was searching for that version.
If anybody has that version please post a follow-up comment. Same goes for the Def FX version too!
My band had a regular gig at the Rose of Australia in Erko through the late 80's and early 90's ... got to know 'Rockin' Rod Thomas really well, he was a regular down there ... had a lot of good times at Thommo's place in Stanmore also. Didn't know he produced this single with Chris Gilbey. RIP Thommo ... I still have a drink our of your 'Thommo's Pub Brewery' Schooner Glass I've kept all these years! Cheers and thanks for the mmmemories!
Enjoy these rare Australian classics and not so classics converted from vinyl to Mp3. Any copyright owner who does not wish to be included in this blog, please contact me and I will remove the posting immediately. What I would like this blog to accomplish is to get Australian music out there that will probably never make it to CD. I hope that these samples will take you on a trip down memory lane, or introduce this great music to people who may have never heard it before.
WE CREATED THIS MUSIC BLOG IN HOPE TO PROMOTE THOSE AUSSIE TRACKS THAT WERE EVENTUALLY VAULTED BY THE MAJOR RECORD COMPANIES. MOST OF THESE TRACKS ARE ONLY COLLECTING COBWEBS AND WILL NEVER BE RELEASED ON CD. MAYBE AFTER PEOPLE HEAR THE TRACKS THAT I PUT ON THIS BLOG, WITH EMAILS TO THE RECORD COMPANIES WE CAN TWIST THEIR ARM TO RELEASE THEM ON CD. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE TRACKS THAT I'M POSTING HAVE NEVER BEEN PUT ON CD.

Thanx again.
I think that doco was wrong. This version sounds like the 1990 version.
Thank you also. I purchased this single back in the day and I've got no idea where it is today.
Thanks for the great walk down memory lane.
