STREET DATE: NOVEMBER 1, 2019

Leave it to Cyndi Lauper to record a Christmas album that’s upbeat without being sappy! Honestly, the stories that surround the making of this 1998 record are enough to put you in the Christmas spirit. Like the fact that she recorded it at her home while her infant son Declyn slept (he can be heard giggling and burbling on “New Year’s Baby [First Lullaby]”). And that she taped her vocals inside her cedar closet because she liked the reverb sound. In short: no spoiled superstar or commercial cash-in here! Just a fresh, homespun take on a time-honored tradition, brought to you by a performer whose work in music, theater, and advocacy continues to inspire. Cyndi brings her trademark sass to songs like “Christmas Conga” and the bawdy “Minnie and Santa” among the eight original tunes on the record. But the traditional tunes “Three Ships” and “Silent Night” radiate a reverent, gather-‘round-the-fi replace vibe that’ll warm the cockles of even the most

hidebound holiday music devotee. For the vinyl debut of Merry Christmas…Have a Nice Life!, we’ve pressed up 1000 copies in green vinyl and put ‘em inside a beautiful gatefold cover featuring lyrics.

I’ve always wanted to make a Christmas album and I hope everyone enjoys it and has a great holiday season. I want to thank all of the people I maybe

didn’t thank or thank enough at the time. All of the people around the world who rolled their sleeves up and worked with me after hours and through all the

grueling ones too. Tommy Mottola, thank you for the Christmas CD idea. Thank you Bob Bowlin and Peter Asher. Thank you David Glew, Polly Anthony, David Massey, John Doelp, Maryann Wiedemuth, Heather Richmond, Chris Poppe, Joe
