The Complete Ho! Ho! Hoey

The Complete Ho! Ho! Hoey is Gary Hoey's second Christmas compilation album, released in 2003.
== Overview ==
A mere two years after releasing The Best Of Ho! Ho! Hoey, Hoey released this two-disc set, compiling every track on all three Ho! Ho! Hoey albums (Except "Rudolf The Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"), plus the four new tracks from the Best Of disc, and added two more new songs. It was released on the same days as the studio album Wake Up Call, presumably to piggy-back on that release's promotional push.
The album contains two new recordings, "My Favorite Things" and "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear". Interestingly, it seems that virtually every track that had been previously compiled on The Best Of Ho! Ho! Hoey were the same remixed and/or edited versions. More notable examples include a remix of "The Twelve Days Of Christmas" that added drums by Glen Sobel and shortened its length, and "Little Drummer Boy", which included a sitar performance that wasn't on the original release.
Initial pressings of the album featured an error. Track 18 on disc two, listed as "Cookies And Egg Nog", was in actuality a repetition of "Joy To The World", It has yet to be determined by Hoeypedia if this error was eventually fixed.
