It's too bad that "Real Gone" isn't including the overdubbed version of "Scarlet Ribbons" on their re-release of Jim's Christmas album. The original version won't blend as well with the other songs since it only has a guitar backing. The overdubbed version would have blended in beautifully. Of course, "Real Gone" could have also included Jim's version of "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" and even the live radio version of "White Christmas" as bonus tracks too, but they didn't. However, the Voicemasters CD "The New Christmas Recordings" does include all these great tracks, as you pointed out, Larry. Still, if "Real Gone" was going to bother re-releasing the original Christmas album with bonus tracks, they should have included the overdubbed version of "Scarlet Ribbons" and the other two tracks...
