37d Small US municipality(not Los Angeles) base (4) ???E
extra is "G"

abircs - your first answer is HOGMANAY and the third one is VILE, I don't have the other one yet.

Thank you unclued - can I help you with any?

How does 2d work please and what's the extra?

2Dn is HOG + VAN inside MAY. So your extra letter is V. I'm still trying to get as many as I can before asking for help but thanks anyway.

Thank you again unclued, will soldier on now!

Pleased to have this one completed, though some of those "extra" letters were hard to spot!!!

I've finished but cannot see how 13d is FLESH.
One's family in the country, bound to replace one of fish (5). There is an extra P in the wordplay. Thanks.

Lep is an old variation of leap/bound - taking away the 'p' gives 'le' , which is in the middle of 'flesh' and replaces the 'i'in 'fish?

Thank you so much Malone. I think this crossword was a bit easier than normal.
