1. Memories - This Christmas album is the best ever. It makes me remember my childhood when my parents were alive and our house was filled with love and joy, the mono version is what I used to play on my dad's Gramophone when I used to put up Christmas decorations. I have the CD version I purchased in still sounds good just like back in the day. Please, please, buy this album and you won't regret it.

2. issue with sound quality - This is a decent…not great, but decent, Xmas album. I don’t have an issue with spending the $$ for the download. What I do have a beef with is the sound quality, remastered or not, the sound quality is really pretty bad. I want my money back for that alone. I burned it to a disc and played it in the car, and it was like it was all over again on an AM radio. So, I guess it was authentic. But for anyone expecting decent quality sound…fuhgettaboutit.

3. Problem - I bought two songs last year and they are downloaded but now they won't play on my iPhone. I tried to download them from the purchased section of iTunes again and it says the songs are already on my phone and gives me the Play option, but they just aren't there. Neither is the album. It doesn't make sense.

5. Stereo version is pretty incredible too. - This is one classic album, easily my favorite Christmas album ever. Pure class and talent all the way....every track is a gem! The mono version sold here on iTunes is great and has that flat, mono AM radio sound that seems so right for the songs and the era it came from. However, the stereo version is equally incredible - to hear these great songs in stereo is amazing and they sound so full and rich. Easily trumps the mono version.....at least for me. But either way, this is a must-own album. One of the all time best.

6. Re-mastered reissue of Christmas perennial - Phil Spector’s Christmas album was an immediate classic and radio favorite, but having been released on the day of John Kennedy’s assassination, it was quickly difficult to find. Radio play kept it alive, however, and it was made available again on the Beatles’ Apple label in . The reissue renamed the album from “A Christmas Gift from Philles Records” to “The Phil Spector Christmas Album” and eventually to its current title; the original cover art was replaced by a photo of Spector dressed as Santa. A later reissue on Warner-Spector airbrushed away the “Back to Mono” button Spector wore in his beard and produced the tracks in stereo. The sacrilege was reversed and the AM-radio-ready mono mixes returned to print with the record’s first CD issue in . Subsequent CD reissues on ABKCO restored elements of the original artwork, and the last reissue left print in . With ABKCO’s Allen Klein having passed away earlier this year, and Phil Spector in jail, a new day has dawned for the Philles label as Sony and EMI have gained the catalog’s distribution rights are planning the archival reissues it deserves. That may be the best Christmas present music lovers will get for years to come. The first result is a fresh reissue of this Christmas classic with a -page booklet that includes original artwork and liner notes, contemporary notes by Billboard’s Jim Bessman, and superb photos of Spector with his musicians and singers. Most importantly, of course, is the pristine reproduction of Spector’s musical classics in all their mono glory, recorded as his Wall of Sound was reaching its greatest height. Featured are The Ronettes, Darlene Love, Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans, and the Crystals, all recorded at Gold Star Studio with the cream of Los Angeles’ studio musicians. Spector and his arranger Jack Nitzsche adorned the Wall of Sound with the holiday sounds of jingling bells, bells and the clip-clop of horses’ hooves as they revitalized a dozen holiday classics. Several of these performances became icons that inspired covers of the performances rather than just the underlying songs. To top it off Spector minted his own classic Christmas song with the Spector-Greenwich-Barry composition “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).” In an era dominated by singles, Spector created a holiday album that was stocked start to finish with superbly conceived and realized productions – no filler here. It wasn’t the first Christmas album, or even the first rock ‘n’ roll Christmas album, but it was (and remains) the best ever. Technical note: EMI Legacy’s reissue duplicates the re-master that Bob Ludwig created for the second disc of last year’s UK-released The Phil Spector Collection. This is a complete re-master from the original tape using a full-track mono reproduce head and an Ampex tube-based machine. This replaces the Phil Spector-Larry Levine re-master that was the basis of the fourth disc of ABKCO’s Back to Mono box set and the standalone version. According to educated ears, the new re-master is less harsh and has smoother bass; it’s also louder, but without any detriment to the dynamics. [ hyperbolium dot com]

1. Keeping the Faith - I grew up listening to Percy Faith's "Music of Christmas," when I was a child. I snagged this album from my parent's collection not only because of the fond memories of listening to the album during the holidays every year but because of the fine performances of Percy Faith's arrangements and techniques, combining woodwinds, strings, percussion and brass. The instruments are talking to each other in a language we all enjoy and understand. Just listen to classics such as "Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly," "Good King Wenceslas," "Hark The Herald Angels Sing," and "O Holy Night," and your're tranported to a simpler time of excellent muscians/professionals reminding us of why one of the many reasons that we celebrate Christmas every year.

1. Christmas with the Supraphonics - Sure, in this age of cheap digital storage, I have a mega-Christmas playlist just like you. How would you like to inject some fresh vibes into that playlist with surf-guitar inspired instrumental Christmas favorites? This is the album! Holly Jolly is my fav. Followed by the one original song. Can you guess which? The perfect gift for your ears this Christmas season. Enjoy!

2. Christmas with the Supraphonics - Here is an album that captures the joy of the holiday spirit. There's a track for every Christmas occasion. Sit calmly by the fire to the tune of "Christmas Time is Here," or watch the kids run through the living room to the glistening sounds of "Little Saint Nick." This carefully chosen collection of songs, ranging from tried-and-true classics like "Winter Wonderland" through jems like "Jingle Jingle Jingle" and original tune "Santa! I Know Him!," is a perfect soundtrack for this holday season.

1. Dim the lights, and slip away into the holidays with this magical medley. - Relaxing, uplifting holiday piano music that sets the mood, rather creates perfect ambiance for the holidays. Fills you with joy and keeps you smiling yet has a relaxing edge as well. No words so it's great for background music while entertaining guests, preparing your meal or after dinner while you sip your holiday beverage. Extremely talented pianist brings this winter season a magical touch.
