Engineer: Mike Purcell; Mike Janas
Producer: Tom Lipsky; Gary Rossington; Hughie Thomasson; Johnny Van Zant; Rick Medlocke; Ron O'Brien (Reissue)
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: Audio Mixers: Mike Janas; Steve Short. This semi-holiday two-er from Lynyrd Skynyrd includes Christmas Time Again and All Time Greatest Hits, both of which were released in 2000. Christmas Time Again, a collection of yuletide standards that are treated exactly as one would expect from the Southern rock giants, and features guest spots from Charlie Daniels and .38 Special, while All Time Greatest Hits is just that, a mini-anthology of the band's best songs, including radio standards like "Sweet Home Alabama," "Gimme Three Steps," "That Smell," and "Free Bird." ~ James Christopher Monger

During their 1970s heyday, Lynryd Skynyrd emerged as the preeminent practitioners of Southern rock. Their triple-guitar attack and country-tinged songs carved a permanent spot on the playlists of classic rock radio. Since its first release in 1973 their epic hit "Freebird" has received more airplay than anything this side of "Stairway to Heaven." The tragic deaths of visionary lead guitarist Steven Gaines and lead vocalist Ronnie Van Zandt in a 1977 plane crash cut down the band at its peak; but after parting ways for several years, the surviving members re-formed the group, with Van Zandt's little brother Johnny at the helm.
