Talk:Songs from Call Me Claus

Tracks not carried over from Garth Brooks and the Magic of Christmas
I'm cross posting this from the Magic discussion page.

I've previously noticed that the three songs from Garth Brooks and the Magic of Christmas that were not included on this album are songs that were on Garth's previous Christmas album, Beyond the Season. I never got around to picking up either Magic or Claus, so I can't check for myself, but I've always wondered whether these three songs on Magic are the same tracks from Season or if they're new recordings. If they're the same tracks, then that essentially makes Claus an upgraded replacement for Magic with three new tracks replacing three previously released tracks. I've always suspected this to be the case, considering the otherwise identical tracks and identical album cover photos. I would consider that a significant difference from the scenario currently described in the Magic and Claus articles, which imply they're two separate albums that mostly have the same content aside from three tracks unique to each. The articles may currently be technically correct, but I believe it would be worth noting if this is the case. Can anyone clarify this? --Teratron (talk) 21:01, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
