As promised, I've started this thread after going on a mission to find a copy of this CD. It appears that JB Hi Fi is your best bet. It appears that each store has 2 copies of the CD. The store is also great for other Hayley stock as I saw 'Live in New Zealand' and 'Oddyssey' there --- which are almost impossible to find. Here's a scan of the front cover.  It includes the duet with Ronan Keating.  |

Oh, good. It wouldn't make sense for NZ to get the duet and not Australia, especially if he's popular there. Hopefully, it will help Hayley's popularity, too.

Here's SBS TV shop's review of Christmas Magic: www.sbs.com.au/shop/product/category/Music/2762/Christmas-MagicOverview This album combines some of the best loved and most familiar seasonal carols such as ‘Silent Night’ and ‘Coventry Carol’ with popular Christmas songs ‘Little Drummer Boy’ and ‘Sleigh Ride’, as well as tracks written by Hayley herself ( ‘Peace Shall Come’, ‘All With You’ and ‘Christmas Morning’). The variety of the song choices perfectly showcases the versatility of Hayley’s angelic voice and her ability to not only perform in a beautiful, classical way (‘Corpus Christi Carol’) but also in a considerably more “pop” style (‘Peace Shall Come’). True to form, Hayley has once again produced an irresistible record which is guaranteed to make everyone’s Christmas that little bit more magical. Graeme |

Hi All, I just rang the biggest Sanity (HMV associate) in Sydney at the following number 02 9238 9621 (436 george St.) & found 0 copies. I got the usual runaround & got a promise of 'some stock' within a week. Sad really. The philosophy of 'keep no spares' which I got used to at work seems to have hit the CD music game. Anyway, shake it up wherever you can everyone !!! I'm so used to ordering CD's on line that I've had my Japanese Edition for ages now & added Ronan & Hayley's duet via Itunes just days ago. Graeme  |

The SBS website allows you to submit a review for Christmas Magic. I'll write one up and post it. Perhaps small things like posting reviews will help get this album more recognition. www.sbs.com.au/shop/product/category/Music/2762/Christmas-MagicSeeing as the official 'powers that be' don't seem to be doing anything, we should all think of little things that we can do that might help. |

Hi, I added my review to the SBS site and gave it a 5 star rating. It hasn't appeared yet, but I imagine it has to be approved. My housemate Seb also submitted a review -- well, he said what he wanted to say and I typed it in for him. User ratings appear on SBS's main music site, so I ask everyone to review and rate! It will give Christmas Magic some prominence! At the moment, Hayley has no stars -- let's see if we can change that! www.sbs.com.au/shop/music/www.sbs.com.au/shop/product/category/Music/2762/Christmas-Magic |

This is in response to Dave's 'Where To Buy' thread. When it is unlocked, I will post this in there. AustraliaJB Hi Fi All the JB Hi Fi stores that I have visited stock at least 2 Christmas Magic CDs. They also have one of the best Classical music ranges I have seen. The CD can also be ordered online from their website here: www.jbhifionline.com.au/music/classical/christmas-magic/467506SBS Store SBS appears to be the main distributor of Christmas Magic in Australia. You can purchase the CD off its website here. JB Hi Fi is one of SBS's retail partners which is why they are stocking Christmas Magic. www.sbs.com.au/shop/product/category/Music/2762/Christmas-MagicSanitySanity music's website lists Christmas Magic as being 'in stock' and available to order. However, they do not appear to have the disc available to buy in store. www.sanity.com.au/ProductDetail.aspx?id=267581Personally, I believe that if you are thinking of purchasing this album, you should buy it from either JB Hi Fi or SBS -- reward them for supporting Classical artists when other stores won't. |

Hi All, Was just watching SBS TV news & quite an impressive Christmas Magic Ad appeared with a visual & verbal promotion which was really quite good. Was most encouraged...especially when the tracklist was correct !!! Graeme |

Hi Graeme, Good news! Did they have photos from the Winter Magic shoot? SBS have the album placed prominently on their website, so perhaps they are pushing it a little? |

Hi Graeme, Good news! Did they have photos from the Winter Magic shoot? SBS have the album placed prominently on their website, so perhaps they are pushing it a little? They had the CD front cover still & the spiel rolling while you watched. It caught me by surprise & appeared around news time (6.30 - 7pm) I sat there for awhile waiting for another showing (with camera) but missed it if there was one. Still, quite substantial, but not like Katherine Jenkins which was a movie clip of her singing...more elaborate. Graeme |

Hi, Dymocks is a partner of SBS, so that's probably why they're getting some stock in. Had some luck at Chermside shopping centre in Brisbane today. They had 3 CDs in at Borders and they were prominently displayed on a stand:  Also luck at JB Hi Fi, where they had 4 copies, displayed very prominently in the Classical music section.  Oh and here's my best friend / housemate / stylist Seb, posing with a copy in JB Hi Fi -- he wanted me to post this here!   |
