The Winter Album (NSYNC Album)
''The Winter Album'' is the first compilation album by American boy band NSYNC. It was released in Germany on November 16, 1998. Background Following the release of the group's eponymous debut album, '' *NSYNC'', in Germany in March 1997, NSYNC had mostly focused their attention on the British and American markets, releasing updated versions of the album in both territories in summer 1998, and preparing to release a seasonal album, '' Home for Christmas'', in America for Christmas 1998. No material had been released in Germany since "Together Again", which was released on November 3, 1997. None of the tracks recorded for the British or American versions of their debut album had been released there, nor was any of the material recorded for ''Home for Christmas'' planned for release in Germany. So, the band decided that it was only fair that this material would be released there, as it was their support that kick-started their career and landed them a record deal with RCA Records. ...
