Stevens Sufjan: Songs For Christmas

From 2001 through 2010 Sufjan Stevens recorded an annual Christmas album that he gifted to friends and family. The recording process took place every December for one week usually at home provoking collaborations with friends roommates and musical peers. In 2006 Stevens label Asthmatic Kitty Records released Songs for Christmas a CD boxset compiling the first five of these albums Volumes I-V. Later in 2012 the label released Silver & Gold a CD and vinyl boxset compiling of Volumes VI-X. But the first five volumes have never been released to vinyl. This holiday season Asthmatic Kitty Records is proud to finally release Songs for Christmas: Volumes I-V as a 5-piece vinyl boxset. It arrives with all 42 songs from the original CD boxset including fan favorites like Sister Winter That Was The Worst Christmas Ever Only At Christmas Time and Put The Lights on the Tree. The 5LP boxset includes a new package design with illustrations by Stevens and Stephen Halker and a family portrait painting by Jacques Bredy as well as lyrics chord charts and full recording credits for all the songs.
