Christmas Reflections and Happy Michaelmas each contain either 3 or 4 of the 7 Christmas singles so to pad them out to fill out an LP they looped sections of the singles and repeated them over and over to the point of making the listener want to stop playing the record. I would know since I bought them in 1981 or 1982. Trust me if you don't have these (or rips of these) you are definitely not missing anything.
I had the 2nd LP, so I have an idea, but Still love to have them, I never heard the Christmas Reflections, only Happy Michaelmas
To me it doesn't matter, still want them, & the Deccas that came out around the time, with some tracks extended
Missing DESS US albums
The Beatles & Four Seasons [Stereo]
Rarities [US 1978 & 1979]
Christmas Reflections
Happy Michaelmas
The 2 Decca Albums, that has some Tracks Extended that came out in US & UK, on the Phoenix Label
