For me, it certainly is. There are plenty of differences between HA and HA2 musically. They are super-similar thematically and all but as someone who is obsessed with the music to the first film (combining two genres I love: film and Christmas music), it's a must for me. In fact, I just created my own HA soundtrack album using the 1990 album plus a few tracks from artists that weren't on that disc (ie, Run Rudolph Run and Rockin ' Around The Christmas Tree). This new LLL release will fill out the score for me perfectly. Can't wait. I'll be ordering it, STV and Batman Returns for sure on Tuesday and possibly Jade, as I am a fan of some of Horner's work and Jade is a score with which I am not familiar at all. Very curious about it.
