You know you’re getting old when:
The first Christmas albums to ever be released on Compact Disc from your youth are being rereleased again in a current digital form!


You know you’re getting even older when:
You keep clamoring/hoping/wishing for rereleases of the languished analog Christmas vinyl of your youth to a digital form of any kind! (Slowly but surely, more are every year!)

I am a bit on the fence...why below... Does it have anything not currently accessible on CD?

This is what our pal, Stubby is saying about the Legacy reissues.

Stubby pretty much sums it up. I think I have most if not all of that. I grew weary of non-original compilations a while ago. Basically, I want stuff I don't already have...or can't easily get. I say that as someone who has collected a good many Cds & LPs. I would repurchase Cds from Lps not already released on CD though.

The mainstream Eighties have reached the perpetual rehash age joining every popular Top 40 Christmas song from the Forties on up.

The real crime in all of this is that, like every decade before, is that albums and tunes like Midnight Records' "A Midnight Christmas Mess" series from the Eighties won't get their reissue due anytime soon if at all. Well, at least not on any major label looking to cash in by saturating the market with the same tired hits.
