Lost and Found (Christmas) Video - The Wedding Present

Here's a little present from The Wedding Present, a band formed in Leeds, England in 1985.

This cover of the 1973 Bernie Taupin/Elton John composition Step Into Christmas was originally recorded for the 1991 alt Christmas compilation A Lump of Coal, later released as the b-side of The Wedding Present's December 1992 single No Christmas, and eventually appeared on their singles & b-sides collection Hit Parade 2.

For a time, singer David Gedge led the indie pop band Cinerama, which was re-branded The Wedding Present in 2004. The band is still together, and released an album, El Ray, in May of this year. Their official website lists March tour dates in the UK and Japan.

Thanks to Paul!
