Kay Martin & Her Body Guards - 1962 - I Know What He Wants For Christmas... But I Don't Know How To Wrap It!



Here's the wildest Christmas fun album you'll ever hear in this century or any other. It's strictly for adults and loaded with a daring broadside of the sexiest, most delightfully naughty songs, stories and spicy chatter ever recorded.
So reads the back cover copy of another great file sharing find, I Know What He Wants For Christmas... But I Don't Know How To Wrap It! Kay Martin and Her Body Guards were a Vegas lounge act who specialized in adult musical comedy and this is a thoroughly bawdy holiday album- quaintly, adorably 1962 bawdy. A classic party record of the sort no one makes anymore. The few vinyl copies still circulating are so highly sought-after by collectors it's practically the holy grail of Christmas albums. Oddly that's a model, not Kay, on the cover. Oddly because Kay herself appeared topless on another of their albums and her boobs were the stars of the show. Check out the back cover and listen to their live act (side 2 aka track 9) to see what I mean.
