Christmas Rocks CD

My purchases today were limited to the new Pretenders and Oasis releases; the Christmas tunes will have to wait until someone can confirm if Christmas Island is a different recording from what we got previously.........

care to add anything, Rickipedia??

Yep...when yer big ol' mug graced our 50" plasma screen, it nearly broke it! 14 min. 50 second remaining of your 15 min. of fame. Unless of course, you count the number of times it's been played, and rewound, and re-recorded...then it's about up.

Gravity and passing age 40 is very very cruel to a young man!

I'm getting this. Whoa, MAMA! Jackpot! (my grandma's gonna flip out when I stick that CD in, can't wait )


Some of you guys were talkin' about that new Dylan stuff... I haven't had a chance to go get it, but I can't wait. Tell me it's awesome! Tell me it's awesome!

Guys, can someone clarify :-

If you buy the DVD you get the DVD and the CD in the same package ?

and then the CD is also available separately ?

On Amazon UK they have the DVD for £11.99, then they say you can buy it with the CD for £18. But then it seems you`d get 2 copies of the CD and the extra £7 is wasted ? Maybe they don`t realise the CD is the same ?

I guess it's a matter of perspective. I've never considered it a "DVD with a bonus CD." I always viewed the products as two IDENTICAL CDs, with "The Ultimate Christmas Collection" being a "CD with a bonus DVD."

Yes, the CDs are identical, in terms of their content. "Christmas Rocks" is a CD. "The Ultimate Christmas Collection" is a CD/DVD combo. And the DVD content is identical to the one all the die-hard Setzer fans bought years ago.

So, if you're after the new content only, buy "Christmas Rocks," which has the unreleased "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," as well as two tracks previously unavailable in the UK, "Christmas Island," and "Bach's Bounce." And "Take a Break, Guys" finally has a home on a Christmas album.

And if you missed the DVD before, you might as well get "The Ultimate Christmas Collection."

And if you're a completist in terms of collecting Setzer products, you'll buy both, just like you did when the Red,White, and Blue vinyl editions of "13" came out, and similar to when you tracked down the seven previous releases of "Boogie Woogie Christmas" (Japanese edition, Standard US Release, Target, Walmart, Kmart, Best Buy, and US expanded re-release, plus the Japan "Luck Be a Lady" EP with the different version of "Let It Snow x3".)

Yes.

Caveat Emptor-billy

To review one last time (because I really don't want to read two dozen angry posts from unsuspecting buyers later), the DVD content on this:



Is the same as this:

I am indeed saying YES it is her now. I've seen video footage and
some fan picts. She's alive n kickin at 85'. That movie that gretchen mol did of her ended when her real life took over. Kinda like Walk the Line.

You have to realize that recent photos are hard for those of us guys who have been in "luv" with Betty Page the 50s pinup our whole lives, to face the facts. Its creepy ,but
it shouldnt be... you know??

anyway.. I am sorry for derailing the fact that all we have is a CD/DVD of
the BSO this year and no show... Back to the misery.

I actually have The Notorious Betty Page DVD. Great movie, BTW.

What is the difference on the Let It Snow version found on the

I think the arrangements are pretty much the same, but the "Luck be..." version is a liiitle bit slower, has a different intro, and it's in the key of Eb with a modulation to F before the last verse. While the "Dig that crazy..."-version is in G (modulation to A).

(I'm no Rickipedia, sorry for buttin' in... )

Since Scatman's question was "Andersed," (and answered 100% correctly) I'll ask a question of my own:

TV, are you saying that Bettie Page is 85 feet tall? She should meet this guy:
