"Mikky, Dezi, and Joe grew up in New York City listening to loud, fast music and playing in bands together. Eventually Tom and Richie joined the lineup and the band Lectrolux was born. Lectrolux was short-lived but played NYC clubs such as CBGB's, Max's, & Tramps before calling it quits. The Here Comes Santa Claus single came out in 1981 on the band's own label – Intense City – and was their only release. The record was mainly shared with friends and a few sold to local record shops. Two boxes of the single remained hidden away in Mikky's closet in the East Village for nearly 4 decades and are now being released to the world with a special edition reproduction of the impossible to find sleeve. The a-side is a punked out cover of an Xmas standard. The two b-side songs are amazing, raw punk rock originals. Enjoy this lost classic!" - from the insert.

"So much difficult to fathom here… how does a NYC release from '81 with bonafide KBD jams manage to stay hidden this long? Why must the A-side and pic sleeve be Xmas themed? The commendable digger who excavated a sleeveless copy and then tracked the band eventually wound up with a stack of copies…but only a dozen with the rare picture sleeve! The proof is in the Xmas pudding…" - Ryan Richardson (Ryebread Rodeo).

A handful of copies w OG picture sleeves (most were destroyed in a flood) sold for nearly 600.00 a pop! These are the original 7"s with reproed sleeves and a new insert. Limit one per person.
