Yesterday, Oct. 31 (Halloween), The Chesterfield Kings and Wicked Cool Records released a new collection of rarities, fully titled Loose Ends: 1989–2004 Rare, B-Sides & Unreleased.
Speaking of holidays, frontman Andy Babiuk explains the band's cover of "White Christmas," included in the collection:
We did a lot of obscure recordings that came out on vinyl and CDs on various labels but very few were ever printed. For the first time we’ve compiled all of these recordings and we're glad that they are finally coming out digitally remastered for everyone to check out. One unreleased track we found is a recording of the classic ‘White Christmas’ that we were asked to record for the film Christmas With The Kranks. They used the song ‘Hey Santa Claus’ that we wrote for the movie, but not ‘White Christmas.’
Track Listing:
1 Rosy Won't You Please Come Home
2 Live Life
3 Pictures Of Matchstick Men
4 Hey Joe
5 Roadrunner
6 Rosalyn
7 Muscle Beach Party
8 Help You Ann

10 White Christmas
