    You sure that's not really Jarvis Cocker behind the beard?

    Is Elvis secretly related to Glinda The Good Witch from The Wizard Of Oz?

    It looks like someone sneezed on the artwork before it dried!

    This one needs a blank thought balloon added so we can fill in his inner thoughts.

    It looks like Tony is being 'beamed up'.
    They wisely changed the artwork for the cd.:

    Yes, that is definitely a more appealing background and a more flattering photo of Tony. However, now you have a picture of a 68 year old Tony Bennett on a album cover of songs he recorded when he was 42. I'm sure that didn't bother too many people, but for some purists, changing album cover artwork, especially Christmas album artwork, is blasphemy. Those Christmas album covers from the 50's and 60's could be gaudy, but that was the Golden Age of Christmas albums, and there is a sentimental feel associated with them, even the "ugly" ones.

    This isn't quite an album cover, but a single cover. But regardless, this legit release is worth showing:

    Wow, that artwork looks very bootleg-ish (is that a word?). :)

    I long assumed it was, for that very reason, but I've never found a source that doesn't suggest the band okayed it! :p

    Good grief, I haven't seen that album cover in about 40 years ... my parents had that album. Thx for sharing it.

    This was my family's go-to Christmas record, every year. I know every note. The older I got, the more I thought how sexy that girl looked ...
