Belle and Sebastian first recorded ‘O Come, O Come Emmanuel’ for the 2000

XFM (now Radio X) compilation It’s A Cool, Cool Christmas. They later recorded it for a Christmas session for John Peel in 2002.

I post these for interest, too…

I’m not entirely sure about B&S doing jazz, but why not? From the Peel session

I have to confess that this had been forgotten by me…but it is rather sweet. Their 2007 Christmas singl

e ‘Are You Coming Over For Christmas?’

Finally another track from the Peel session

You can listen to the entire 16 (!) song session here
