From the Raleigh News and Observer (with sneak preview of album cover at link):


Also on the holiday front, Chapel Hill pop icon Chris Stamey has been busy this summer preparing an expanded version of his 1985 album "Christmas Time." Credited this time to "The dB's and Friends" and retitled "Christmas Time Again," the new version comes out Nov. 7 on Collector's Choice.

The 21-track set includes earlier songs by Stamey, the dB's and Big Star. New additions include contributions from Whiskeytown, the reunited dB's, Don Dixon, Marshall Crenshaw and Thad Cockrell with Roman Candle.
