What are the bonus tracks? I can't see the track listing anywhere.

hmm this may be a case of just buying the 2 extra songs or downloading them later

Here are the bonus tracks... It's nothing brand new, but enjoyable none the less. (The first post has been updated with a full track list.)

I Wish I Could Be Santa Claus - Gonzo and Fozzie (2011 edition only)
Jingle Bells - Andrea Bocelli with the Muppets (2011 edition only)

This would've been a great way to include the original Thanksgiving parade version of "I Believe (in Santa Claus)". Fans have been asking for that since the original performance several years ago.

 

[Muppetfan44]

Neat. Thanks. I do like the Gonzo and Fozzie version of "I Wish I Could Be Santa Claus", so cute!

The cover looks better at any rate. Funny thing, this old album. This was before Matt Vogel became Floyd Pepper, and hearing this older recast will sound strange.

And it comes with a song from Letters to Santa and Jingle Bells with Andrea Boticelli.

I wish it would have included all of the Letters to Santa tracks and also I Beleive in Santa Claus (regardless of which version).

 

[Drtooth]

At any rate, I didn't get this when it first came out, and I've had trouble finding it anywhere ever since.

The 2 extra tracks are great for those who haven't been able to get it yet. With the movie coming out, it must be easier to find now.

i do like that cover alot better

I have recently been wondering if this album was still in print. I guess the original version would be out-of-print now and replaced with this one.

I feel the Anthony Bocelli track would be out-of-place since it's the only track with a celebrity guest (though it originated in an album where the Muppets were the guests to Anthony Bocelli).

I guess it's good that this is rereleased, considering there was recently an official Muppet album website. It gets the Muppets more albums to promote (I wonder if The Muppets Wizard of Oz and Muppet Christmas Carol soundtracks are still in-print).
