Make A Daft Noise - Dec 24 & 25 1975

 

A fold out spread for Christmas Day 1975, no less. How else to show off all those presents? Annuals galore, and what a lot of them. Not only the ones I had pictures of, but another three not shown, plus The Goodies Book Of Records, and the fantastic Happy Days book by Denis Gifford, that I still consult to this day.

The orange ball depicted on Dec 25 is my desk calendar, something I'd forgotten till now. You'd push a button and the date would flip over. The things we did back in the days before smart phones.

Quite the classic time for TV and pop music, with shows like the Porridge, Morecambe & Wise, and Some Mothers Do Ave Em Christmas Specials that still get shown on TV to this day, and brand new singles including my Records For The Day In Dulce Jubilo and Make A Daft Noise For Christmas.
