Hartmut writes from Germany: This is a fake live set. To my ears it contains the issued versions with Percy (?) announcing them and with clapping added.

Tracks only on compilations: another additio by Paul Lambers: There is a Soul Christmas album from 1978 (ATL 50554, including 60's Stax and Atlantic songs) including Percy Sledge - Silent Night.
