‘The Archies Christmas Album’ Arrives Just in Time
One of the most important and successful garage bands of all time, the Archies return for the Christmas season with The Archies Christmas Album featuring Betty & Veronica! The Riverdale High quintet scored several top 40 hits, with "Sugar, Sugar" becoming the No. 1 song of the year. The Archies have been named one of the top ten Coolest Cartoon Rockers by AOL Music. Just in time for the Holiday season, band members Archie Andrews, Reggie Mantle, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge & Jughead Jones are pleased to release their new album. The Archies Christmas Party combines the best of their trademark sound with the radio sensibilities of today.

By my reckoning, this is the first Archies album of all-new material to be released since the 1970s. Dare I hope that the vault of unreleased Archies tracks will finally be emptied and a CD issued of that material, as well?
I am more excited to hear this new music than old stuff from days gone by. Thank God for the Archies.
Aieee! No!! Make it go away!!!
