Christmas All Over the World
Christmas All Over the World is a holiday EP released by American R&B group New Edition.[2] It was released in December 1985 by MCA Records. It serves as the group's only Christmas release. Also, this was the final release to feature vocals from original member Bobby Brown, who was kicked out of the group after the release of this project. The group reluctantly forced him out due to managerial concern of the group's image being tattered by Brown's multiple outbursts. Brown will later return for their sixth album, Home Again (1996).
