"Gary Glitter - Another Rock and Roll Christmas"
|
||||
"Another Rock and Roll Christmas" is a Christmas song by English glam rock singer Gary Glitter, written by Glitter with Mike Leander and Eddie (Edward John) Seago and produced by Mike Leander. It was one of the most played Christmas hits on UK radio from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, but is now rarely heard publicly following Glitter's convictions on child pornography and abuse charges. Initially released in 1984, the song was later included on Glitter's fifth studio album, Boys Will Be Boys (1984) and was reissued many times, both as a single (including a collectors picture disc) and on other albums.
The single sold well, peaking at No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart, and was Glitter's most successful song since 1975. Though he was still touring regularly when the song came out, Glitter credited "Another Rock and Roll Christmas" as a song that gave him a resurgence in popularity.
The song was covered by former heavy metal band Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Di'Anno for the album Rockin' Good Xmas.
