I doubt it, as she usually waits for 20/25/30 for those, but I understand the frustration... The sound is very good... I've never seen anyone not have a bad copy honestly, unless you go for black...

I think it's better than a lot of Christmas albums that get more love. I ordered the vinyl and it came warped and scratched. I wouldn't recommend it. The pressing is terrible... I actually rank this as her strongest Christmas album. The production is lush and her voice is still in good shape.

This album has grown on me so much. I used to think it was a big drop from Merry Christmas, but now I appreciate its own vibe. 'Oh Santa!' is a classic, and 'When Christmas Comes' is so soulful.
