one of a few rescued by one of the attendees of the famous gig, he sells one on ebay every year! A The Wassailing Song 3:24 Credits Presenter, Arranged By – Gold Frankincense And Blur* Vocals [Verse 1 Solo By] – Damon Albarn Vocals [Verse 3 Solo By] – Graham Coxon Vocals [Verse 5 Solo By] – Dave Rowntree Vocals [Verse 7 Solo By] – Alex James (2) Written-By – Traditional Notes Blur's cover of a medieval English Christmas carol that Damon and Graham had sung at Stanway Comprehensive as students. Recorded during a break in the initial sessions for the album "Modern Life Is Rubbish" — just before the writing and recording of "For Tomorrow". The four members of the group alternate vocals on the verses, singing the refrain together. This is the only song in the Blur discography that drummer Dave Rowntree sings on. Only 500 pressed. Given away as a gig freebie at Blur's 12/15/92 Christmas gig at the Hibernian Club in Fulham, London by a man dressed as Santa Claus. (The Hibernian Club was likely chosen due to its proximity to Maison Rouge, where Blur were recording.) Food Records considered this (in the words of the label's second in command, Andy Ross) a "completely pointless gig which ended up costing [Blur] money." Promotional use only. Not for sale. More information from an attendee of the Hibernian Club gig: "...The gig was at the point when the music press reckoned that Blur were finished; the touts outside the gig couldn't even give tickets away. The hall was less than half full. Blur turned in a fantastic set and at the end we all drunkenly queued up to get our free 7-inch from a Liverpudlian dressed as Santa. Only about 5 minutes into the free giveaway one of my friends got impatient and lent [sic] over the barrier to get one of the records out of Santa's sack himself. The barrier collapsed and then everyone just started grabbing at the records. A lot of them ended up littering the floor and being trampled on. Although 500 were pressed I'd say that a lot less than that were actually given away or survived the night." — Iain, 2008 Barcode and Other Identifiers Matrix / Runout: BLUR 6 A-02-01-Q2 there is no b-side as its blank
