This album is notable for featuring the first professional recording of Jon Bon Jovi in 1980 (credited as "John Bongiovi", his birth name), who sang lead vocals on the song "R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas." His cousin Tony Bongiovi co-produced the album and ran the recording studio at which it was recorded, where Jon was working sweeping floors at the time. Much of the album is sung and narrated by British actor Anthony Daniels, reprising his role as C-3PO. Sound designer Ben Burtt also provided sound effects for R2-D2 and Chewbacca.

NOTICE ABOUT THE MEDIA MAIL OPTION:

I offer two shipping options to U.S. buyers – Priority Mail and Media Mail. Most sellers offer Media Mail and generally have no problems with it. Media Mail is a cost-effective way to send media materials through the U.S. Postal Service. You can send books, videotapes, DVDs, CDs, printed music and other sound recordings through Media Mail as long as they weigh less than 70 pounds. Although you won't pay as much to send these items via Media Mail, they can take longer to get to their destination. USPS estimates that your item will arrive in 2 to 10 days. The drawback of Media Mail is that USPS has a right to open and inspect your package to check for abuse of the system. I package albums, CDs, and books very securely and appropriately, but their fate is out of my control once I mail them. If you are willing to take the risk, I will send it to you through media mail, but I can take no responsibility for what happens to it after I turn it over to the US Postal Service.
