I know this is old news but why did they call the 1970 Elvis Christmas album, Home For The Holidays.
It's the same track list. Was it remastered like the other budget albums?

This is a review of it from amazon.com,
This is yet another re-packaging of the 1970 edition of Elvis' Christmas album. His original Christmas album was released in 1957 and included 8 Christmas songs plus 4 Gospel songs from the Peace in the Valley EP. The album was re-packaged and re-released in 1970 with the 4 Gospel songs being replaced by Why Can't Everyday Be Like Christmas (which was originally released as a single in 1966) and the non-Christmas song Mama Liked the Roses. The songs on here are excellent and have become Christmas standards, still receiving radio air play around the Holidays. This is a nice collection if you do not already have one of the previous releases, however I think you can find the over releases for cheaper. I would recommend that you get the "If Everyday Was Like Christmas" CD instead. It includes every Christmas song Elvis recorded plus 4 alternate takes. The 1970 edition of Elvis' Christmas album was Elvis' biggest selling album, with sales in the US in exceeding 9 million copies, just shy of the 10 million required for Elvis' first DIAMOND award. It makes no sense to me why BMG/RCA decide to discountinue selling the 1970 edition, but instead sell it as a re-packed "new" album when they were so close to the 10 million sales milestone!!! No word in this review if it was remastered or not. |

I don't think that it has been remastered. Its just the original CD inside the tin. I can't say for certain as it remains sealed.....but i don't believe so.... (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/undecided.gif)
