Looks like we'll be getting Elvis' Christmas Album in Stereo from MRS in October.

Hopefully we'll get news for a physical release soon.

What an awful cover, I hope the gatefold pop up interior is better!

I find some of MRS' covers to be tacky ..... and this is definitely another one to add to that category.

Let's hope the finger snapping at the beginning of "White Christmas" has been fully restored.

It’s amazing how many times Elvis’ Xmas material has been repackaged over and over. He definitely delivered some great holiday tunes for sure.

They get a bit carried away with the photoshop at times, and this one is a classic example...

I really like some of the MRS releases but this one I will easily skip.
Im not gonna mention why as there are just too many reasons……..

Now we're massively intrigued, and human nature being what it is, we will all speculate.

Actually I'm not going to get it either, because like my local bus, there will be another one along in a minute.

I will only bother writing the main reason and that is I dont like the christmas recordings or the gospel ones from the 50s.
And dare I say that in my own opinion White Christmas is probably the worst elvis recording ever….that awful piano
and how Elvis sings the song… yuk :(

Some are trash but MRS have also released really good ones over the years.
But this xmas thing is a big yawn.

Different strokes.... I think it's superb, although I'm not that much into Christmas or gospel, but I have bought them all and I do like that one.
