Very Best of Bing Crosby Christmas [Original recording remastered]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Bing Crosby is the father of the Christmas album. He sired the whole shooting match in 1942 when he recorded Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" for the Decca soundtrack of Holiday Inn, and the season has never been the same since. "White Christmas" isn't just Crosby's signature tune, it's also that of Christmas, selling millions around the world and inspiring countless recording artists to create their own holiday versions every year. This single-CD package draws from The Voice of Christmas: The Complete Decca Christmas Songbook and features the original recording of "White Christmas" (often replaced by a later version on reissues) as well as all the seasonal songs Crosby cut over three decades. And with extensive liner notes, it's a slam-dunk gift buy for the whole family. --Martin Keller --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Wonderful Christmas Album.......2003-05-07

Bing does a tremendous job in this CD. The songs are great and very well done. The ones with the Andrew Sisters are especially good. Definitely a CD you want for the Christmas season.

A Wonderful Addition to Your Christmas Collection.......2002-12-09

This is a great Cd...I recently purchased this Cd and it is wonderful. All the songs are excellent and the sound is terrific. I remember listening to Bing's songs as a child and this has a lot of great songs. It is a must-have for every Christmas collection. You won't be disappointed with this Cd.

Great!!!.......2001-12-27

This is my favorite Christmas CD. I have about 20 other CD's that I play at Christmas, but this is the best. Other people that have heard it love it too. It has all the best of Bing. I want to buy another one so I can keep one in the house and put on in my car. If you love traditional Christmas music, this is the one for you.

These recordings have never sounded better!.......2000-10-21

Nobody could transmit warmth through music (or acting) the way Bing Crosby could. His lighthearted style of singing is wonderfully matched with secular Christmas music, but shows its drawbacks with the old Christmas hymns and carols which require more empathy with the meaning of the words to be effective. However, this is a treasure trove of Christmas music. It all has an old-fashioned, nostalgic air that says "Christmas" to millions of people. Most of the recordings on this abridged album were made before high fidelity (not to mention stereo) sound recording was viable. These rather primitive recordings really showed their age on previous versions, but sound markedly better here. It's nice to have a restored version of White Christmas, Bing's signature Christmas song. So, if you are a fan of Bing or just want to experience "that Christmas feeling," this is the album to buy. Leave the other, poor-sounding CDs on the shelf.

Bing Really Was Mr. Christmas!.......2000-08-04

How could you not put together a collection of Christmas music without these wonderful holiday hits by Bing Crosby? Like many others of the baby-boom generation, I grew up listening to Bing crooning these songs as well as watching his holiday specials on tv, always a treat for my family. Music such as this must be preserved, and do yourself & your own family a favor by adding this album to your collection to enjoy for many years to come. Very highly recommended!
