The Dumbells - Giddy-Up (1980, Roxy Music)

It's a new year, let's get this Christmas season started - Giddy-up! By the end of 1980 Roxy Music had been through several phases and lineups, finding itself down to the core trio of Bryan Ferry, Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay. No drummer? No problem - use a drum loop. In 2009, Manzanera offered the single as a free download on his website with this description: "Recorded under the influence of a lot of Christmas spirit (literally) in 1980 by various members of Roxy and even released as a single to no critical acclaim." Perhaps due to the excessive "Christmas spirit" involved in the recording, this holiday single was released under the fake name of the Dumbells. But despite the deprecating name, this is actually a great reworking of "Sleigh Ride," with production flourishes that would pave the way for their final album, the celebrated Avalon, released in 1982.
