"This is the original 2005 release from Platinum Disc of Lacrosse, Wisconsin. It went out of print almost immediately after its initial release and was very hard to find for awhile. Since it's 2009 reissue on a different label with a slightly different track listing and artwork, it's become somewhat easier to find. I'm not sure, but I believe this is Earl Young's version of The Trammps. I thought I spotted him on the cover. Anyway, there are now two different versions of the group, one with Young and the other with most of the remaining original group members. This release is pure fun and shouldn't be taken too seriously, but it was great to have a new Trammps CD to add to my collection, and they offer some really soulful versions of well-known Christmas songs, including Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime," "Jingle Bell Rock" and Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" in addition to seven others."
