The format is normal for Compilation CD's but This is a WEIRD format for an ICONIC Diva...I get that the title says Patti & Friends but it's rare that a Solo Legend will invite other Artists to sing tracks that don't feature the Legend...She's letting them do their own thing...

Props to Patti's Label for figuring out a way to sell the Album..

I would prefer that they do none!

I think it's just a cheap effort to cash in on the holidays!

I don't really like pop versions of Christmas songs.

I prefer the original more classical versions.

I love Tori Amos, but her holiday album does nothing for me.

The now-canceled HBO show Vinyl had a good bit on Christmas albums. When a struggling artist at a struggling label came to the office, the label head made him do a Christmas album to generate money.

Mariah's doing another holiday album, BTW.

The Beatles announced today (Nov. 2) that on Dec. 15, just in time for the holidays, they will be releasing a limited-edition box set of their Christmas holiday messages, originally given only to fan club members on flexi-discs from 1963 to 1969.

The limited edition set will include seven 7-inch colored vinyl singles, one for each of the seven messages. The Christmas records have never been given general release as a set before, though one was made available as part of The Beatles Rock Band video game.

The seven holiday messages were titled The Beatles Christmas Record (1963), Another Beatles Christmas Record (1964), The Beatles Third Christmas Record (1965), Pantomime -- Everywhere It's Christmas (1966), Christmas Time (Is Here Again) (1967), The Beatles Sixth Christmas Record (1968), which includes a guest appearance by Tiny Tim singing the Beatles song “Nowhere Man,” and The Beatles Seventh Christmas Record (1969).

The first five take up only one side of each separate disc, while the last two are double-sided. Each single will include a sleeve with the original artwork from the fan club discs. The box will also have an added 16-page booklet with recording notes and reproductions of the fan club newsletters that was sent to fans with the original discs.

Also on Dec. 15, the Beatles will continue their celebration of the 50th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band with three more releases -- a high-res audio version (90kHZ/24 bit) of the deluxe edition of the album from earlier in the year, along with two vinyl discs. The hi-res tracks package will feature the 2017 stereo mix as produced by Giles Martin, plus 18 added tracks with complete alternate takes, an instrumental mix of “Penny Lane” and two alternate takes of “Strawberry Fields Forever.” The two vinyl versions will feature a 180-gram black vinyl album and a limited vinyl picture disc.

The Beatles previously announced that the Ron Howard-Beatles film The Beatles: Eight Days A Week – The Touring Years will premiere Nov. 25 on PBS. The documentary, which has won both Emmy and Grammy Awards, follows The Beatles in concert from their earliest days to the final show at Candlestick Park in San Francisco in 1966 and was previously shown on Hulu. The broadcast will be followed by the encore broadcast of Sgt. Pepper’s Musical Revolution, hosted by Howard Goodall, which looks at the creation of the album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Check your local schedule for exact times.

Additionally, The Beatles Channel on SiriusXM will also present a special Eight Days a Week episode of their The Fab Fourum series hosted by Dennis Elsas and Bill Flanagan from 9 to 11 p.m. ET Nov. 15, before the PBS airing of the film. Billboard

The Beatles end of the year promo schedule looks more like New Years instead of closing out the year...I wonder if their children are ready & stable enough to inherit that Crazy Dynasty?

Stella McCartney probably doesn't need the money

You're probably right, but does Stella got all her senses? I have not googled her, so I'm guessing she's Paul's oldest daughter...

I don't know anything about The Beatles offspring...Well, I do know John's Son was in a battle with Yoko (or whatever her name is)...I think she finally gave him $5 and a box of Crunch'n Munch...All these Rich people should be shame...

Stella is a famous clothing designer. You don't know Julian Lennon? His 1st album was a big hit. I still hear Too Late For Goodbyes sometimes in the store and the oldies station. His albums after didn't do much here in the US. I don't know how successful they were in other countries.

Vanessa Williams released two great ones and I'm glad she did.

Do they come with fold outs of her old photos licking @$$? Maybe Santa's @$$ this time? She has a great voice and all, but GIVE ME A SELLING POINT!

The best arrangements of the best Christmas songs should be your selling point.

Stella is good to go. Her luxury clothing line has been very luccrative for a long time.
