PHIL SPECTORS CHRISTMAS ALBUM APCOR 24 (-72) UK MONO

"A Christmas Gift For You", first released on US Phillies label (4005) 1963, is a classic Christmas album, well embraced by most lovers of red nosed reindeers and sleigh bells in the snow.  Since then reissued several times through the years on different labels. This on Apple was the first nine years later, still with the glorious mono mixes and a nice unaltered original sound. Audio very Spectoriously bombastic and  rather dense so it may come through as archaic to many modern ears, but that's the way it was and how it always should be. Favorite tracks -  The Ronettes "Frosty The Snowman" and  "I Saw Mammy Kissing Santa Claus".  The Apple reissue was a hit in US (SW-3400) and peaked at #5 on Billboard while the original only reached #13. The UK version didn´t do that well and can be a little harder to locate today. But whatever version you have - there's no rock'n'roll Christmas without it. Premiere UK had dark label as shown here in a thin fully laminated cover. (FÄV*) (SÄM*) (CXÅ*) (ÄPLÄ*)
