Hi ALL,

Like the title of this song says Merry Xmas Everybody

"Merry Xmas Everybody" is a song by the British rock band Slade, released as a non-album single in 1973. The song was written by lead vocalist Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea, and it was produced by Chas Chandler. It was the band's sixth and final number-one single in the UK. Earning the UK Christmas number one slot in December 1973, the song beat another Christmas-themed song, Wizzard's "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday", which reached fourth place. It remained in the charts for nine weeks until February 1974

Released at the peak of the band's popularity, "Merry Xmas Everybody" sold over a million copies upon its first release. It is Slade's last number-one single and by far their best-selling single. It has been released during every decade since 1973 and has been covered by numerous artists.
The single was certified UK Platinum by BPI in December 1980. Since 2007 and the advent of downloads counting towards the UK Singles Chart, it has re-entered the charts each December. As of December 2012, it has sold 1.32 million copies in the UK.

In a UK television special on ITV in December 2012, "Merry Xmas Everybody" was voted third (behind "Fairytale of New York" and "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday") in The Nation's Favourite Christmas Song

Hi Ernest,

Thanks a lot for listening and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed the music, Multi-Tracking for me is just about adding what sounds right but in the right place

All the best, Brian007

Brian,

Have always liked that song, and I must hand it to you the way you seem to have a second sense on knowing how to multitrack counter melodies and harmonies. Listening to what you add in to your music makes it even more special to listen to.

Hi Hugh,

Thanks a lot for having a listen and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed it, sometimes you need a bit of multi-tracking to beef things up a bit and in this case it seems to have worked fairly well, I got lucky with this one.

All the Best, Brian007
