    A note from 2022/2023: many owners probably have the 2022 Memphis/GZ edition with the same sticker but different cover + different red vinyl/runout >> Mariah Carey - Merry Christmas

      I just picked up a sealed copy for a decent price at record store in Chicago. This audio quality is decent not that bad treble is like 35% to high I give the audio quality 7 out of 10. I have a Stanton T.62 hooked up to a Optimus SM-1750 DJ mixer that is hooked up to a Mackie CR1604 studio mixer so I can fine tune the audio more. I run a internet radio station Phat Beats Radio this is why I have all this stuff hooked up.

        This is really just not a good album.. glad I have a single version of All I Want For Christmas because that is honestly the only song I like off this one. Most of the tracks are just too busy, wish they were more stripped down. Just my opinion though and I know I'm in the minority. Record itself is fine except for pops and ticks even after cleaning.

            Reissue received is red. Sounds great. I would recommend to anyone who is looking to add some nice Christmas music.

              Needs a decent remaster and packaging upgrade. Money maker, and nothing else.

                My reissue of this is a red/green split, but the number is the same...

                  does it state made in the EU on the back of the sleeve?

                    Track running time on vinyl label is different than as shown in release data.
