Didn't the Greg Lake Father Christmas come out that year too? I think Santa Claus and His Old Lady was a year or two later.OK, English Congregation confirms the 10-way tie!Greg Lake was '74 or '75, methinks. But C&C were either '71 or '72 iirc.

Looks like you're right--AMG sez I Believe in Father Christmas charted in '75. And from the I Didn't Know That! department: Lake's bio on AMG says he wrote Lucky Man when he was around 12, then shelved it for a good while before recording it for inclusion on the first ELP album.

I too didn't get around to calling in a Christmas greeting (too damn busy at work the last two days, and slept too late today--I have shifted to holiday mode in earnest). But my fondest wishes for a peaceful holiday to all of you, and may this little kaffeeklatsch propser and continue for years to come.

This forum in which I post most excessively truly helps to keep me sane (or slightly less insane, perhaps) -- work would be unbearable without you guyz'n'galz. I'll be around for the Xmas set on Mon, in the midst of my Xmas-thru-New Year's movie marathon. Happy Merry and Merry Happy to all.
happy holidays to all! i'm off to rome for ten days on sunday.
