Various – The Edge Of Christmas (CD, 1995, Oglio Records OGL 81585-2, US)

Why This CD Matters
The Edge Of Christmas collects holiday recordings from prominent rock, alternative, new wave, and punk artists rather than following a traditional Christmas compilation format. The program includes Queen, Pat Benatar, The Pretenders, Kate Bush, Cocteau Twins, The Pogues, The Ramones, and The Waitresses. It also includes David Bowie and Bing Crosby’s “Peace On Earth / Little Drummer Boy,” alongside alternative-era holiday staples “Fairytale Of New York” and “Christmas Wrapping.”
