: General information :

: Alan's comments :
“ Not quite every DM Xmas card ever produced but close. I can’t quite remember which year we started producing them, but it became a habit which has continued to this day. Even after I left the band, I would still receive a card from the band (well… from the band’s office;) – how sweet…. I kept them all. The flexi-disc is a novel idea and reminds me of the kind of thing The Beatles would do for their fan club, made during their recording sessions with George Martin.”
