CD Reviews

Something a little different.

Dicky | Cincinnati, Ohio United States | 12/20/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This British double CD set has a mixture of Christmas songs from America & England. Most date from the 30's & 40's, with a few that are earlier than that. You'll hear some of the usual, popular songs from that era including Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, and Nat King Cole. What's really fun about this collection is everything else! Lot's of oddities/rarities that you'll most likely not find anywhere else. So if you like vintage Christmas songs and are looking for something different to listen too, then definately check out this CD. My only complaint is the sound quality is somewhat uneven throughout."

An excellent cd!

"This cd spans the years of 1915-1949. It has excellent songs recorded by the original artists. I love this! I have always liked the vintage christmas songs. It takes me back to when I was a child and my parents used to play these records at christmas. This is a great cd for a trip down memory lane! I recommend this cd!"

Absolutely charming and unique

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This 2 cd set contains the first recording of, "Santa Claus is coming to town" with Tom Stacks doing the vocal, the Comedy Harmonists (the same group from the the movie of the same name) doing "Silent Night" in German, A Christmas message from King George V, and so many other collector's items that you may not have even known existed. There are a few clunkers but, overall, this is well worth getting. The price is unbeatable for two and a half hours of great Christmas music. Buy it!"
