Perry Como = Christmas

My first experience with Christmas music was when I was between 1 and 3 years old with this Christmas album on record. My mother owned it for a while before and she played it for me as a child. Christmas would not be complete without this album. One of my favorite versions of "Jingle Bells" is on this album. Highly recommended, and a must for a Perry Como fan.

The BEST in Christmas Music.

As a young child I can remember listening to Perry Como's Christmas albums in our home and at my grandparent's home on Christmas Eve. My dad would pack the "record player" along with the gifts to make sure we took the sounds of Perry Como with us to share with all of the family. Now as a parent my seven year old really enjoys this CD and will often tell me how he likes this music better than the "modern" holiday music of today. This is a tremendous compilation of songs that makes the holidays so much more enjoyable and always takes me back to those wonderful Christmas's of my youth.

Timeless Christmas Classics

This album was a favorite of mine from my childhood, all great Christmas songs performed with classic style by the late, great Perry Como. The song C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S is especially good and not commonly found elsewhere.



The CD is a very good remaster with decent sound quality, considering the source recordings date from 1948 to 1953 and were originally monaural. The entire album, but especially the last several tracks which are the earliest recordings, exudes the atmosphere of Christmas in the late Forties and early Fifties - the recovery from WWII, the optimism and simple joy of living before the Cold War heated up too much.



I am thrilled that it is out on CD and heartily recommend it to anyone who enjoys Christmas ballads; you will never regret adding this CD to your collection of Christmas music.
