CHRISTMAS ALBUMS 2.
CHRISTMAS WITH DINO...CAPITOL RECORDS.
Tracks played....
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow / Jingle bells / Marshmallow world.
A very relaxed, almost inebriated Christmas album made up of one album originally released by Capitol records and one later by Reprise. The earlier one is the better one but there are standout tracks on the latter. 17 tracks.****.
MICHAEL BALL CHRISTMAS....UNIVERSAL.
Tracks played...
Driving home for Christmas / River.
Not the usual collection of Christmas favourites therefore interestingly different. Mr Ball in good voice.****.
ROBERT GOULET. THE COMPLETE COLUMBIA CHRISTMAS RECORDINGS... COLUMBIA.REAL GONE MUSIC.
Tracks played...
The Christmas song / Hurry home for Christmas.
Fantastic value at 29 tracks. No Christmas goodie missed plus some unusual never heard before songs. Strong baritone voice doesn't always work but most will appreciate this VERY festive album.****.
SINATRA. THE CHRISTMAS COLLECTION...REPRISE.
A mixture of seasonal recordings from previous albums plus his final vocal of "Silent night" A sad ending to a momentous vocal career. ****.
BING CROSBY CHRISTMAS ALBUM....POLYGRAM RECORDS.
Tracks played....
A time to be jolly / I sing Noel.
The last Crosby Christmas recording sounding pretty good. All new songs and back-up from a professional choral group giving a special seasonal flavour to all tracks. Not every song is outstanding but Bing's sincere vocalising is extremely pleasant.****.
JOHNNY MATHIS...GIVE ME YOUR LOVE FOR CHRISTMAS....CBS.
Tracks played....
Give me your love for Christmas / Christmas day.
One of the many Christmas albums released by Mathis in the last 40 years.....the best being the early Percy Faith backed album. This is good.****.
RAY CONNIFF. CHRISTMAS CAROLING...CBS.
Tracks played...
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer / Here comes Santa Claus.
Good, happy vocal co-ordination with the famous Conniff singers. Great stuff.****
