Good news! There is some confusion over "The Classic Christmas Album" as the picture and the track listing on the charts show that it is by Willie Nelson although the chart listing attributes it to Elvis. Does anybody know about this album?

'The Classic Christmas Album' is one of several in the series by different artists including Willie Nelson and John Denver etc. For some strange reason, Billboard Magazine keeps on showing the Willie Nelson cover instead of the Elvis one. I e-mailed Billboard about this but never got a reply. Suffice it to say that it is the Elvis album and is the best seller of the series.
