Basswood Dollies, The Faded Flower and Volta Masters

Basswood DolliesThis is electronic, a bit chiptune-ish even. It’s not fast like many of the electronic versions we’ve posted; it’s slow, steady, confident. It sort of reminds me of that Knife song, Heartbeats.

This comes from the Electric Fantastic Xmas album from Klicktracks which you can get for $1.50! You can also find Basswood Dollies’ new single on itunes.

Basswood Dollies —Last Christmas-



A new rock version for you rockers. This is a slow rocker though, Like Grandpa Frank’s sunday afternoon rocker. Or something.

Info is scarce on this version, as in we couldn’t find anything.


The Faded Flower – Last Christmas



This funky version samples Patrice Rushen’s “Forget Me Nots” liberally, but never to a fault. As interesting as this version is, the vocals seem placed. We haven’t heard the original mix, but you can find it on 7” here. Their myspace has new Christmas music and info on their other releases.


Volta MastersLast Christmas (So Good Remix)



Ok so this doesn’t really count as a new version I suppose, but it’s a little gem we didn’t include last year. The quality is crap, but for all you wham-a-phile’s this should be a treat.


Wham! – Last Christmas (Live 1986)
