- "made In CANADA - DAFFODIL -SBA-16002
RARE ...original (minty) textured 1970 GATEFOLD pressing of Canadian underground killer-rated hard guitar led rock...would have been a major collectible if an American group release, issued only in Canada been plenty difficult to find for a long time.... This copy a rather clean pre-release radio promotional with small station call letters stamp in center on front cover then sold to retail store for discount sale purposes, ages ago price sticker at top left front, containing unique Canadian address on sales sticker - all legit!
*Contains the elusive printed lyrics inner sleeve

CHRISTMAS was formed in 1969 in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, out of the ashes of cult underground psychedelic band Reign Ghost.
In July 1970, Christmas released this independent self-titled LP that brought some media attention to the band and a contract with the Daffodil Records label. In December 1970, less than six months after the release of the 1st Lp, Christmas released their Daffodil Records album Heritage.
Christmas was comprised of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Bob Bryden, bass Tyler Raizenne, drummer Rich Richter, and Robert Bulger on guitars, all of whom were still in their teens. The album gathered great reviews and was well received by critics but it was not commercially viable because the long songs were non radio-friendly hard rock jammers.
But...the LP became an instant favorite in the underground music scene just about everywhere but in Canada. Despite the international response to the album, Heritage proved to be the last release by the band under the name Christmas due to management problems and difficulty with the direction of the next album. Consequently, Christmas broke up in late 1971 only to resurface the following year, lineup intact, under the name the "Spirit of Christmas." In the late '80s and '90s, the original Heritage album became a highly sought after collector's prize, especially in the U.S.A. and Europe because of the band's unorthodox style of hard psych and progressive influences.
CHRISTMAS is best described as a progressive underground band. They were originally known as Black Christmas.
Their first album consists of three Bryden compositions characterized by favorable vocals and guitar work and two long jammers composed by the whole band. One of these, the ambitious "Jungle Fabulous", accounts for all of the second side. This album is of their rarest artifacts.
Heritage consists of heavy progressive underground rock and has its highs, particularly on "Zephyr Song," "April Mountain," which features some fine guitar work, and the title track.
All the songs on the album were written and arranged by Bryden.
"Heritage" is very imaginative progressive hard psych-rock LP where every track is excellent and the album is strongly recommended
