Polygram Group Canada New Pop Release

It is with distinct pleasure that A&M Records and I present Christmas Collection - a deluxe two CD set containing both Carpenters' Christmas albums: Christmas Portrait and An Old-Fashioned Christmas. Each album has been digitally remastered and is presented in its entirety - for the first time on compact disc.
We have for years been receiving a number of requests (and at times outright demands) for a set such as this and are delighted to finally make it available.
- Richard Carpenter, 1996

A few selections from this deluxe 2 CD set are:

• The Christmas Waltz
