It is hard to believe this collection of Xmas songs was released Nov 1963, over 47 years ago. The Ronettes were a young girl group back then - I was a young teenager. Now Ronnie Spector is a young 67 year old lady and STILL performing her Xmas magic. Darleen Love will be soon be inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame to join the Ronettes who were inducted in 2007. After listening to this CD, it is obvious why these ladies are in the Hall of Fame. During Xmas time, many pop radio stations still play some of these classic selections and for good reason - people like it! Although these are old mono recordings, the sound is very good. Phil Spector was not really into stereo sound back then. His famous "wall of sound" is heard throughout this CD and any stereo separation would do little to enhance these classics. Great vocals by all. If you want a true Xmas pop classic from the early 1960s, this is a must have.Read full review
Listened to the PBS special on this recording and Phil Spector on the way home from visiting at Christmas. Had to locate and purchase this selection based on the special and interviews with Darlene Love and various involved parties. Would never have considered purchasing this, but description of quality of musicians, perfection demanded and many hours needed to record using the "wall of sound" technique made it a must have.
Have been looking for this CD before Christmas. It was either out of stock or outrageous in price. This was a very good price and free shipping and it came quickly.

During the Christmas season when my car radio starts to play Christmas music some of the BEST holiday songs I enjoy are the Phil Spector groups. Didn't realize I could get all these fantastic songs on ONE CD.....LOVE IT.....its our background music in the house at Christmas time when company comes over....
If you love 50's rock 'n' roll Girl Groups - you will love this Christmas Compilations with their signature sounds.
