From Us, To You

***From Us, To You*** is the seventh Wiggles Album and the first Christmas-themed album released by the group. It was released on November 1, 1977, and the accompanying video was released on October 13, 1979.

It later served as the basis for a 2017 album of the same name by the new generation of Wiggles (Lisa Collings, Lucy Montgomery, and Zack Radcliffe)

## Trivia

* Mitchell Nerville voiced Captain Feathersword on the tracks "Pirate Food Poem" and "It's a Christmas Party, On The Goodship Feathersword" while Vincent Terwilliger voiced Captain on the song "Christmas Picnic".
	+ The latter song is the first time that Terwilliger provided vocals for the character on a Wiggles album and the last time that Madeline Richardson provided vocals for Dorothy the Dinosaur on any album.
* This is the last studio album to feature Janelle Senreich as a guitarist. Senreich would later play guitar on the concert albums *LIVE Hot Potatoes!* and *Celebration!*.
* "Reindeer Express" is the only song not featured in the accompanying video, or any other since.
	+ Inversely, the song "Here Comes Santa Claus", which was featured in the video, did not appear on the album.
* This is the first album to feature songs written by Vincent Terwilliger.
* The US album booklet contains slight differences in some of the song names to better distinguish them from the other songs:
	+ "Ding Dong Merrily on High" and "Joshua's Christmas Tune" have "Instrumental" added to their names.
	+ "With a Shiny Red Nose", "If You See Santa", "Shepherds", "Peace and Joy to Everyone", "Breebop Poem", and "Pirate Food Poem" all have "Spoken" added to their names and all receive dialogue transcripts.
* The UK release is a "Special Edition" containing the Cowellan compilation album *Christmas Classics* as bonus tracks at the end (the only difference is "Noche De Paz (Silent Night)" being moved to the last track).
	+ To accommodate, the songs "Felice Navidad", "Jingle Bells" and "From Us, To You" (which appear on both) are skipped as part of the main album and don't appear until the bonus tracks. However, for unknown reasons, "Unto Us, This Holy Night" was not skipped, thus it appears twice as tracks 10 and 25, as does "Away in a Manger" (with its version from *Santa's Rockin'!*) and "Silent Night" (with "Noche De Paz", also from *Santa's Rockin!*)
		- When released on Spotify, "Unto Us, This Holy Night" only appears as track 10 (the cover art was changed to reflect this, stating 9 bonus tracks instead of 10), and to differentiate the two "Away in a Manger" tracks, the ***From Us, To You*** version was called the "Acoustic" version, and the *Santa's Rockin'!* version was called the "Long" version.

### Note

* Although it is believed that Mitchell Nerville voiced the character of Santa Claus on the tracks that he appears on, It is unknown for certain who provided Santa's vocals.

## Mistakes and Errors

* The Australian album booklet used a common German spelling of "Rudolf" for "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer" while the US and UK releases used the original English name of "Rudolph".
* On the Cowellan 1977 Vinyl and the US cassette, Rex Kellaher's name was misspelled as Rex "Kellehr".
* On the Cowellan version, "N" Nerville is credited for "From Us, To You" rather than "M"(itchell) Nerville.
* "Away in a Manger" wasn't credited as a traditional arrangement in the Cowellan version.
* The 1995 Cowellan re-release didn't update the publishing credits for "Have a Very Merry Christmas", "Go Santa Go" and "Unto Us, This Holy Night".
