Does anyone know if the Beach Boys released their 1977 Christmas Album/CD

Most of what was finished from those sessions is on the CDs called Ultimate Christmas and Christmas with the Beach Boys (the latter is missing one track, a version of "Peggy Sue" with Christmas lyrics).

The released tracks are:

"Child of Winter" (1974 single)
"Santa's Got an Airplane" (Xmas version of "Loop de Loop," same backing track as the Endless Harmony version)
"Winter Symphony"
"I Saw Santa Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" (based on Brian's "Hey There Momma")
"Melekalikimaka" (released on MIU as "Kona Coast" with less Christmassey lyrics)
"Bells of Christmas" (released on MIU as "Belles of Paris" with non-Xmas lyrics)
"Morning Christmas" (Dennis production from Pacific Ocean Blue sessions)
"Christmas Time Is Here Again" (released as "Peggy Sue" on MIU)*

* only on Ultimate Christmas -- all other tracks on both CDs.

"Child of Winter," "Melekalikimaka," and "I Saw Santa Rockin'" are also on the CD called Christmas Harmonies.

"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", featuring the Beach Boys' children singing a la a grade school Christmas concert, was released as the closing track on Carnie's and Wendy's 1993 Christmas album HEY SANTA.

I bought a "promo" copy of the 1977 Christmas album on cassette on eBay a few months ago.

Didn't the planned 1977 Christmas album get scrapped and then turned into M.I.U album?

Jackson 5 covered it best.

Christmas 1977 is good but there's no "Pitter Patter" & I dislike "Morning Christmas".

Yup that tracklist is weird for a Christmas album, after all there are songs that aren't even christmas songs on it, and to top it off "Christmas time is here again" (Not to be confused with the Beatles song) is absolutely horrible, all they did was take "Peggy Sue" and change the lyrics and to top it off they open up the album with it... Shocked it's no wonder it was rejected.. so take off the non christmas so songs and "christmas time" and replace them with "santa's got an airplane", "Bells of Christmas" , "Kona Christmas" and add vocals to "Jingle Bells" from the 1960's and you have ,at least, a proper chrismas album...

Don't know what is "Get that girl" but I like "Seasons" & am glad that the BBs decided to sing it. Among their best decisions. Beautifully done.
