Christmas In July 2006-Redux

I've been making these best-of collections just about every year I've been sharing out Christmas in July, and they've always proven to be popular with my visitors. But as the years have gone on, I've gotten better at my rips, I've found better copies of the songs, and I've saved my files in higher and higher bitrates. So I decided it was time to go back and revisit some of the old compilations and see if I could do a slightly better job. I updated this particular collection once before with improved recordings, but it was so much work I never went back and did any of the others because it was so much work. Well, as you'll see, I finally buckled down and updated many of my old collections and I'm going to share them with you this month, beginning with the original collection from 2006. (Note that I updated more of the tracks in this one above and beyond the work I did in 2015. In fact, there's a text file in the download that details which tracks got updated in both go-rounds.) Download it if you want to hear the improved recordings of some (though not all) of the tracks, or don't if you're happy with the old versions. But if you haven't heard it before, please download The Best Of Christmas In July 2006 From Ernie (Not Bert)!
