Lonely This Christmas - Mud (Top of The Pops, Christmas Day 1974) UK Christmas Number 1 (Stereo)

I finally found an old copy of the Top of The Pops Christmas show from 1974 and decided to cut and edit the UK's Christmas number one for that year. I have enhanced the picture quality along with an over-dub of the original stereo recording removing the mono broadcast. The song was written and produced by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, "Lonely This Christmas" was Mud's second number one single in the UK, spending four weeks at the top in December 1974 and January 1975. It was the third number one single that year for the ChinniChap writing and production team, and was performed in the style of Elvis Presley's slower songs from his later career. The song was also performed on Top of the Pops, with guitarist Rob Davis covered in tinsel and wearing Christmas baubles as earrings, while vocalist Les Gray sang to a ventriloquist's dummy, though I do have that performance too, I thought the dummy looked a little creepy so decided on this version instead. Merry Christmas darling, wherever you are. Thanks all.
