Release Date December 04, 2006
Worth it just for track 22 - Phil Spector's original recording of Spanish Harlem. Buy it for this and get the rest as a bonus.

A Christmas Present From Motown - Volume 1

by: Various Artists

Release Date October 08, 2001
Many Motown stars recorded Christmas albums and tracks from those albums have been the source of many Motown Christmas compilations. This is one of a pair of British budget compilations that are as good as any I've seen, with an excellent mix of famous and obscure songs and all the singers you expect to hear.

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Jackson five and Stevie Wonder are each represented by three tracks. The Temptations and Diana Ross and the Supremes each get two tracks, though Diana also gets a solo track. The Four Tops also get two, including one featuring guest vocalist Aretha Franklin. The Funk brothers and Marvin Gaye have one track each.

For me, the highlights are Everyone's a kid at Christmas time (Stevie Wonder), ... Read More:

This CD is a delight capturing the sparkle and fun of Xmas. It is light classical music at its very best. I play Troika and I know the festive season has begun.

Cool Christmas

by: Various Artists

Release Date October 30, 2006
Okay so some of the choices are a little odd, but this is by far the most interesting Christmas album I've heard. A much more interesting, ironic take on Christmas.

Christmas Crooners: 50 Yuletide Classics from a Golden Age

by: Various Artists

Release Date October 10, 2005
Like the previous reviewer, I'd advise people to stay well clear of this particular recording.

The sound quality is abysmal. Avoid.

Verve Presents: The Very Best of Christmas Jazz

by: Various Artists

Release Date November 05, 2001
This is my favourite Christmas CD, it has something for everyone! It's the perfect antidote for the tired old tunes that everyone plays at Christmas (if I hear "I wish it could be Christmas every day" one more time I won't be responsible for my actions), the highlights being "Zat you Santa Claus?" by Louis Armstrong and "Silent Night" by Dinah Washington.
Give it a go and you won't be disappointed, especially at this price!!

Andy Williams Christmas Album

by: Andy Williams

Release Date October 13, 2008
This is by far one of the best Christmas albums you could buy. Andy captures that magical feeling of a traditional Christmas and puts it all into this album. If you buy one Christmas CD this year, make it this one.
