bandcamp The A-side is a new edit of Maps’ stunning cover of East 17’s ‘Stay Another Day’. It’s honestly one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, and to my ears the definitive version of this non-festive Christmas classic. (Sorry, Tony Mortimer.)

bandcamp Maps On the flip is younghusband’s short and sweet cover of Margo Guryan’s ‘I Don’t Intend To Spend Christmas Without You’. I've always regretted not giving this one the release it deserved, rather than hiding a download code in a mince pie, so here it is.

bandcamp Maps younghusband Also squeezed on is Mark Peters’ version of ‘Jingle Bells’. I love how Mark can take any old song and turn it Into something stunning that sounds like a long-lost cross between the Durutti Column and Spiritualized. Gorgeous.
