(I Want A) Rockin' Christmas is the most successful Australian rock Christmas hit of all. It went top ten nationally and spent seven weeks at #1 in Melbourne going well into January when it had to be dropped from radio play lists while still at #1. The B side was a cover of the Beach Boys "Little Saint Nick" from 1964. The song was also very popular and many Ol' 55 fans thought it was a double A sided single. Here to download from 1976 is "Little Saint Nick" (K 6587). Recorded for Mushroom Records and produced by Charles Fisher.
Enjoy these rare Australian classics and not so classics converted from vinyl to Mp3.

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.

I dead set played the skin off this when it was released and, remember the lyrics to this day! Lost the original in a move way back.
