Mother of all christmas albums. The first and the best to put you in the right mood. Six classic songs with Crosby's heartfelt vocals, orchestral backings and overwhelming quires plus two more jazzy where he sings with Andrew Sisters. Most of it is sentimental and tear breaking, just as it should. Originally earlier versions of the songs had their first collected issue as part of a 1942 five disc 78 rpm album, wich eventually got so popular the masters worn down (this was before tape-recorders existed in the studios), so they re-recorded eight cuts 1947, making it as close to the first as they could. These second versions was the ones transferred on here to 33 rpm for the first time. This 10 inch 1949 release was US only. There's been re-issues, re-mixes and other re-makes ever since on vinyl and CD, but wichever you got - there's no real Christmas without Bing Crosby. (NYFÖ*)(MÖRS*) (YZÄ*)(CXÅ*)(BCJ*)
