Product Review

The first volume of 'A Very Special Christmas' was issued on behalf of the Special Olympics organization in 1987. The vinyl version of that debut sees itself reissued 29 years later with the same look and content for this Christmas season. Fifteen notable artists contributed their time and talent, along with producer extraordinaire Jimmy Iovine who helped create the series, and the late Keith Haring whose design graces the covers for this global cause. As a result, the Special Olympics organization has been able to annually share the rewards from the sales of these albums for decades.
