Released as a special red vinyl flexi disc in Japan 1984 British pop singer Howard Jones sends out a special Christmas and New Years message to fans. This special flexi disc was was released to the Japanese fans only, and Howard talks about his love of Japan, the new album and tour.

As with most flexi discs they often don’t sound that great. This flexi disc was in very nice condition. I made every attempt to make it sound as good as possible. Merry Christmas!!
