Noted. Hope it's mine, as I haven't got one yet. Hang on, did you do HKFC's and this post is part of an elaborate smokescreen? These Secret Santas get craftier every year....

Not me I'm afraid HKFC. I wish it was, they got the music so right and the artwork is brilliant. Top santa

OK then. It must be someone I suspected, but couldn't believe they would have gone to so much trouble. He doesn't even support the Albion. Still, probably wrong again, but I feel that only he is dogged enough to have done this.....
Sake!

I'm almost inclined to agree with you, but surely the Cliftonville pic and Worthing Herald are too... obscure(?) or too local for someone up north who isn't an Albion fan?
I discounted [MENTION=2040]Staly[/MENTION] immediately because of the reason Flex states, and also because it's all a bit SOFT for him.
Bloody hell, I would have had a very large wager that it was you! I am intrigued.

Well, exactly - I couldn't believe he reads Ernest threads, but, on music alone, I thought it was slightly more Staly than SHC because SHC would have drawn anything great to our attention. Staly loves trawling Bandcamp, plus it would have been too obvious if he'd done a C86 style compilation of obscure stuff - you already have the Lawrence and the Comfortable Society track - so I can imagine him ploughing a 60s girl group/chanteuse/guitary kind of furrow, with special attention paid to ny Sussex bands. Plus his previous artwork has been superb, and he does nothing all day at Manchester University library (he alleges). Still, I could be completely erong, but whoever did it has really put the effort in - a round of applause to them!

I think it might be one of the many Simons on the thread; this year's host and organiser, [MENTION=61]Theatre of Trees[/MENTION].

That might be right - another Bandcamp fan. And geographically makes more sense.
That is also the (third) conclusion I'd come to. [MENTION=61]Theatre of Trees[/MENTION] ? Thank you, so much.

Not me, not me. I have no idea who Harty is, and I haven't heard of half of the people on that CD. Nice pen portrait though, I think...

You should see the charcoal thumbnail sketch I did as well - think I got the hair all wrong though. I am slightly reassured to be completely wrong - it pains me to think of you trawling through threads referencing the Cliftonville, Big Hilda, Lenny Rider and the Worthing Herald in order to produce a Secret Santa CD cover. That goes beyond the call of duty.

Third time lucky, it was me. Glad you liked it.
Like to think of the Postmark's song as the best Bond theme that never was, a conclusion somebody else has reached as they've stuck the song on the opening credits of Casino Royale:

Interestingly never released as a single, Go Jet Setter, being preferred, see:

Unfortunately the band has been on hiatus since 2009.
The Cherry Glazerr track is my current favourite of that lot, their LP Haxel Princess is worth a look, and as you say very young, the girl on the drums and the singer and main songwriter started the year aged 16 and 17 respectively. I also like the fact that they describe themselves as a pop band.

Thanks again.
In general - for pulling this together - and personally for the great CD.
If my recipient enjoys the one I created, half as much, I'll be pleased.
Looking forward to seeing some reviews from others. I hope people put proper effort into their reviews. They are the really interesting part of this process, if done well.

Hi, I'm putting mine in the post right now and will make a post about the CD I received either later today or tomorrow with pictures when I've had a chance to listen a few times. I should say that I appreciate the effort, and the fact it has 100,000 fireflies by the Magnetic Fields tells me that it will be a good 'un. Not heard of any of the other bands either.
I can't tie it to the poster but I guess I should know who the player is on the cover and that would give me a clue, unfortunately didn't support the Albion until the '00s and haven't invested any time in to player history (sorry).

Also to my Santee I'm sorry about my low effort cover, I am about as creative as fart jokes but hope you enjoy the package anyway. Also, I accept that there is a lot of music so please don't feel the need to provide an in depth review or anything.
