Comment: The Cure deluxe wasn’t the nightmare we expected, Cliff is much better on “”Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” then on the straightforward songs of faith like the dreaded “First Christmas” but even when the song is an irritant even at 82 years old Cliff can sing the pants off em… I wish Cliff had beat Stormzy -who I admire but not here.
