    Nothing says Christmas like Larry, Moe and ... uh... Joe?!? In a TIME MACHINE!

    "All I Want for Christmas is my two front teeth" - Let's get the kid with the biggest front teeth in the WORLD!

    I also like how the album is geared towards children, yet has songs like God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and Dicken's Christmas Carol.

    To be fair, I think the idea is that it's Christmas morning and he's just gotten said teeth, hence his cross-eyed stare of delight.

    Top one looks like it might be James' last Christmas.
    & every time I see the bottom one I think it's really Jarvis Cocker.

    I like it too.
    It's kind of cheating if you pick an album cover that's meant to be ugly.

    :laugh: You're totally right. Some owner should bring one over to Jarvis and have it autographed.

    Here's an interesting article on that by Lara Pellegrinelli: The Women Jacketed By Records - JazzTimes .

    The Little Drummer Boy has terrific drumming.

    Looks like little Anthony got pissed off at all the mall Santas and wished them into the cornfield.

    The Santa at the Hammond console look would have been better. More Holi-Dee in theme.

    Agreed highly, the new cover is ugly and does not look like a Motown cover either. The original cover is a nicely executed concept.

    Who cares about the cover, this has some awesome sounding, quiet, flat noise free vinyl inside. And on top of that, I happen to like Roger Whittaker, and I like what I like.

    No, many of them had scantily clad ladies way before Herb Alpert. HiFi nuts loved scantily clad ladies.

    When I get tired of overplayed Christmas albums, this one sounds all the nicer and the more fun. My kind of Christmas album when the genre gets tiresome.

    Even more amazing that both CBS and WB used it for their respective reissues.

    One of the odd times where not only is the album art changes, but the album TITLE TOO!

    Seeing this prompted me to pull it out of storage just to see what was on it (It's one of those things that I never dared listen to even though I've had it forever). Seems to be a bunch of random stuff taken from other albums. Here is Jingle Bells, done in a Chipmunk style.

    I haven't had any nightmares of late, thanks!!
    The best part of this pic is the kid up front.
    I'm sure it didn't end up in her record collection! :D
    Kinda like that one.
    It seems to give a two-finger salute to the average Xmas cover. Different.
