Nine Below Zero to release 'A to Zed, The Very Best Of'' Album on 1st December.

Nine Below Zero are to release their first ‘best of’ album as a download only from their own record label Zed Records, and it will include a newly recorded Christmas single and two previously unreleased tracks.

‘A To Zed, The Very Best Of’, which will be available from 1st December 2013, covers the period from 1997 when the band formed their own record company Zed Records. It features 20 tracks and is their first digital only release.

Love Supreme and Eye Candy have never been released before and the single I Don't Want The Blues For Christmas has only recently been recorded.

Nine Below Zero's frontman Dennis Greaves said: “Many people don't realise that the Christmas record released for fans goes back many years. Well before The Beatles, the likes of Sonny Boy Williamson, Lightnin' Hopkins and Leadbelly all recorded Christmas records. So all we are doing is keeping up the tradition of giving fans something special for Christmas.”

The full track list is, Wild Kicking Horse, You Don't Love Me, Hit The Spot, Talk To Me Baby, White Boys Lost In The Blues, Money Or The Man, Goin Down, Mechanic Man, Why Don't You Try Me Tonight, Loaded Gun, The Story Of Nathen Jones, I'm So Alone, Go Girl, Move It, You, I Should Have Left It Up To You, Love Supreme, Eye Candy, I Don't Want The Blues For Christmas.

More than 35 years after forming, Nine Below Zero are already shaping up for a busy 2014. In addition to A to Zed, Universal are reissuing two of the bands A&M albums, Don't Point Your Finger and Third Degree. Both will be double CD releases, with a live performance and unreleased tracks.

A To Zed, The Very Best Of will be available from December 1 on iTunes or the band's website.
