Yeah it should not matter how old a topic is. Someone reads it and feels compelled to give their two cents worth. That’s the beauty of this forum. I find this topic really interesting.

Thanks for the kind words.

Discovering that the conventional wisdom about the Christmas album re-release was 100% wrong, and that this incorrect information was simply parroted by anyone and everyone for decades, was absolutely a surprise. And it was a thrill to share my findings here.

Speaking of Elvis' Christmas Album, I'm in the store right now looking at a brand new copy, still sealed, pressed by Del Rey records.

I had no idea this was even out but the asking price Is $40.

Could anyone please help me in their opinions of what they think of this ??

$40 for music you probably have at least 5 times in your collection. I don't think so.

Well let me ask what's wrong with revisiting old threads ???

Whatever I find interesting, (and to refresh my memory), I go back to old posts, even though they come up on my main page when the page loads.

Is that breaking a code ??

Am I not at a privilege for regulations ??

You didn't answer the question and besides, that's not the point. Please pay attention.

I have a VG copy of the 1957 original, that's enough for me. But if this new version has all the goodies inside, why not?

My favorite Elvis Christmas vinyl will always be the RCA (Camden) release from 1970.

Was very happy to acquire a mint sealed copy on rigid vinyl. Sounds glorious.

That '57 Christmas album is my first memory of ever seeing and hearing Elvis. My mom and dad had it for a few years by the time I came along. It didn't mean a whole lot then.

Some things change drastically.
