I have to throw in my two cents on this. Being a real Carpenters purist at heart, I am a little bummed that I cannot get the "Christmas Portrait" album on CD with ALL ORIGINAL MIXES. Unfortunately, the special edition version on CD is a combination of both Christmas albums, and the "Christmas Collection" features the album in it's entirety, however it is loaded with remixes. Don't get me wrong, most of the remixes are great, but there is something about the original analog mixes that are very unique. Anyway, enough said....anyone agree????? -Chris
