Christmas portrait sounds horrible on the Christmas collection but it’s better then nothing. For Old fashioned Christmas, are there any copies that were taken from the original tapes with no reverb? Thanks!

As someone else pointed out here on the forums about the early 80’s CD’s those could also be considered “Digitally Remastered” since, especially when no remixing has been done, a Digital Master was needed for the CD’s.Richard Carpenter: "In the early ‘90s, the first album was remixed and both were digitally remastered."

The version on An Old-Fashioned Christmas is a remix of the 1974 single. The major difference between the 2 is the sax solo in the middle. In 1974 it sounded like someone was trying to walk down some stairs while recording it, whereas in 1984 Richard had the part re-recorded so that it was smoother, more jazzy.I’m happy about that thanks everyone. I noticed there was no reverb on the second disc. Someone told me I’d have to do some “needle dropping” to hear the slow version of Santa Claus is coming to town. Isn’t the one on old fashioned christmas the right one? Sounds slow and prettier then the faster version to me.
