Talk:A Christmas Record

A fact from A Christmas Record appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 December 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that A Christmas Record released in 1981 on the ZE label was described as the first-ever alternative Christmas album and contains both a hit single and a "blasphemous, nearly tuneless piece of skronk"?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/December.

Release Year of "Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses[edit]

For the last 10 to 15 years or so, I've personally been under the impression that "Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses was first released in 1981 on this very LP. But based on the information in this article on the track listing of the album, it seems as if the track was not included on the original 1981 release of the LP, but rather on the 1982 revised "special edition" of the LP, and that it was never released as a 45 RPM single until 1982. This is news to me, as I've always been under the impression that "Christmas Wrapping" was included on the original 1981 release of the album. Can someone please confirm or deny this? There are at least a few other Wikipedia articles that would need to be updated if this is the case, including the Wikipedia article on the song itself, the article on the band, and the reference article List of Christmas hit singles. Thank you. --Sliv812 (talk) 02:21, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was first released on the original 1981 album. The error was caused by this edit - [1] - a few days ago, which I can only imagine was an inadvertent error by another editor. I've now corrected it Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:40, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the clarification, Guy! Thank you for fixing the error, too. --Sliv812 (talk) 15:52, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
