I am so happy to have found this post. I have just begun searching for the Cinnamon Bear program on CD so I can start a Christmas tradition with my own son, and I didn't realize there are so many "versions." It's a little overwhelming to know what is a quality reproduction and what is not. I was considering buying a copy of the Radio Spirits version on Ebay, but after your comment, I'm thinking maybe not. Although it is obvious you really enjoy the First Generation version, would you say that that is the version that you would recommend to any and everyone? And yes, I would love a copy of the song lyrics. Thank you! (And by the way, my husband works for Barnes&Noble, so they do get a lot of our support :) <em>Yes, I would recommend the First Generation version to everyone - it is unquestionably the cleanest version I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of different ones. (The Radio Spirits CD version was a complete embarassment.) What is most impressive about this version is that one does <em>not</em> need to "join" the First Generation. As many of you know, I am vehmently against their requirement that you "assign" them through contract rights over the programming that they choose not to purchase from legitimate rightsholders or otherwise properly acquire...but to purchase this excellent set, no contract is required.</em> Hello!
