During Christmastime, I prefer listening to old-fashioned Carols.
Throughout the year, my preference is contemporary music.
But, every December, classical sounds evoke moods of longstanding traditions.

However, I remain open to modern Christmas music.
and, no album captures this non-conformity better than an 3-song EP from Jimi Hendrix, titled "And a Happy New Year".
Released in 1974, the songs were apparently recorded in 1968 & 1969, yet released posthumously five years later.
It also seems, this EP was re-released in 1999, using the title Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Below are a few pics from the original album.
This is my attempt to display the original artwork (since the 1999 version was a deviation).
[note, these photos are redundant in their similarity]

Note: in the future, this blog will be heavily supported with more Pictures.
But, for the time being, There's no additional material besides the above Jimi Hendrix scans.
