Seasons Greetings From Disco Connection

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

 

My three favourite Christmas Songs, hope they are yours too.

A Tribute To The Man (R.I.P. 1951 - 2025)

This is the 1987 CD single with the original Driving Home.

A small tribute to one of greatest voices to come out of the north east.

Merry Xmas from The Jackal 2025

For those of you who follow this blog will know that I posted three Xmas mixes by The Jackal in 2021, 2022 & 2023.

The links still work on these mixes so you can still download them.

If you are new to the blog then this year I have taken all three mixes and edited them together.

I have removed the Rolf Harris track due to obvious reasons.

So we now have 3 hours and 26 minutes of music.

Maybe something to listen to on Xmas day, but it's not really suitable for the under 12's.

A Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year from everybody here at DC Towers, where music will always be free.

Please be aware this is a 1.4GB file so it might take a while to download.

Vivien Vee - Vivien Vee 1979 FLAC

Here on Disco Connection we will never ask you for money for the rips we post here.

I believe that after 40 years an artist should have extracted as much money out of there music as possible, especially when the albums are long out of print.

So today we bring you the first Vivien Vee album from 1979. 

Now at the time of writing this album has never received an official CD reissue.

Enjoy and tell me what you think.
