This special promotional cassette was produced and circulated in September 1987 to promote the forthcoming album A Very Special Christmas, featuring a number of contemporary stars performing traditional Christmas carols. As the opening by Vicky Iovine informs, all but two of the tracks were specifically recorded for the album release. The songs featured here on the cassette are shortened edits of the full tracks, running from 01:07 in length to 01:32 in length. The cassette opens with a spoken introduction by Vicky Iovine, the wife of producer Jimmy Iovine, who at the time was working with U2 on the Rattle and Hum album. Comes in clamshell case with insert. Keith Haring artwork! Same program on both sides of the tape.
