But neither were "Silent Night", "12 Days", and "We Wish"! ARRGH!

(and probably more, but I'm too tired to think much...)

Those are old enough that they are probably in the public domain - which means anyone can use them without paying royalties.

Actually, there are three different pressings of this album on CD.

The hardest-to-find was done in 1988 by Windstar/Allegiance Records. Then Laserlight Records reissued a full version of the album, and the shorter version that everyone is talking about came out a couple years ago.

I have an extra of the original Laserlight release if anyone is looking for the complete CD.

I picked up the Laserlight version at a local Grocery store last week, It is catalog #12761 and it DOES have both of those songs on it.
It was a FRYS grocery store, which is owned by Krogers.

I saw it at Fileines or somewhere to that extent. I HAD IT, but it fell down the stairs and got all scratched. Crap! It was one of the first CD's I got too!

It still could be a licensing issue. I imagine Silent Night, 12 days, etc. may have passed into public domain, while a Beach Boys song wouldn't have yet...

Say, does the new copy of the CD still have the Steve's name misspelled? On my copy from 1990, it's credited as STVE WHITMIRE.
