Excerpts from A Very Spectrum Christmas (Part 6), by Thomas A. Christie. In this section: "Special Delivery" by Creative Sparks (1984). Throughout the 1980s, thousands of British children were lucky enough to discover a Sinclair ZX Spectrum under their Christmas trees and soon found their eyes opened to a virtual world of wonder. But Santa Claus did more than deliver computers — sometimes he appeared on them, too. This book delves into the Spectrum’s extraordinary pantheon of seasonal games: the good, the bad, the surprising, the unabashedly surreal and the occasionally rather tenuous. "A Very Spectrum Christmas" is Copyright ©2021 Thomas A. Christie, all rights reserved, and is published by Extremis Publishing Ltd. This title is available as a physical book from www.extremispublishing.com and all good online retailers and independent booksellers worldwide.

Derek D Cramer - O My Beer Can (Live Looping Sessions)

I have been playing for around 20 years in different bands. For the last 5 years, I've been doing a solo show where I fell in love with the art of looping. If you have any questions, requests, or thought about my music please don't be afraid to share them with me. My biggest influences are Marc Rebillet, Reggie Watts, & Keller Williams. They have really been the driving force in my journey to loop.
