It’s Christmas Time Again

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Back cover says this is a reissue of an old LP which did not include tracks 6 and 12.

The above from the OP. This is tricky because a) the matching discogs release shows only 11 tracks and is a German release, but also DE site musik-sammler has it too with 12 tracks. The US CD release has a different barcode and cat#. Cannot find a back-cover image.
