HAPPY XMAS(CD/7'/USB)

Clapton got so giddy over his first-ever Christmas album that he drew the cover illustration of Santa himself! OK, his artwork may be amateur, but his bluesy spins on the classics are pro all the way and quite a delight: oWhite Christmas,o oAway in a Manger,o oJingle Bells (In Memory of Avicii),o oSilent Night,o oMerry Christmas Baby,o oHave Yourself a Merry Little Christmaso and more (including some obscure holiday tunes and a new original, too). Sure, you can opt for the standard CD or LP, but available to us in very LIMITED QUANTITIES (in fact, very few select outlets will be carrying this at all), the LIMITED DELUXE EDITION BOX SET is wrapped in red-and-white faux fur (like SantaAEs hat) and inside are the new album on CD, a 7" picture flexi vinyl and a rubbery USB drive derived from EricAEs Santa sketch that doubles as an ornament and contains the album as hi-def WAV files, an interview, album art and bonus video content. An additional metal-alloy ornament rounds out this lavish presentation of ClaptonAEs full-length holiday debut! Extremely limited! Surfdog Records.'
