Product Description

A good Christmas compilation should contain the following things--a selection of old classics to warm your cockles by the fireside, some of the classic pop titles that people always seem to find themselves singing along to in the pub on Christmas Eve and some Carols. The Best Christmas Album in the World Ever manages to fulfil all these criteria--on the classic front there is Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" and Dean Martin's "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow", on the classic pop front there's Slade's "Merry Christmas Everybody" and Wizzard's "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday", traditional carols "Silent Night" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" head the field. All in all, The Best Christmas Album In The World Ever manages to live up to its name.--Helen Marquis

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best, 18 Dec 2006

By	Mr. D. J. Read (Alnwick, Northumberland United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Don't get me wrong, the C.D is reasonable, it has all the classics you would expect. But there are so many re-makes, such as the Ronan Keating version of 'Fairytale in New York', which are just not as good as the originals. You will find all the Christmas songs you can think of on here, and I'm not going to patronise you by saying how good (or generally the opposite) they are, as you know them inside out. Just brace for disappointment if you're especting the original versions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Could Be Improved..., 15 April 2007

By	William J. Walker "Billyjay" (England) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is a pretty decent stab at a Xmas party album but suffers from the usual faults ie Because the record company behind it can't obtain permission to use all the tracks they might want, you end up with this compromise. Unfortunately in this instance they've made matters worse by substituting inferior versions of some tracks for the real thing(surely no one actually believes "Fairytale of Newyork" is enhanced by Ronan Keating's contributions).

There is a fairly simple solution:Buy this album AND "Chritmas Hits"(a three CD set that can be got pretty cheaply), although there is quite a bit of over-lap, the two discs together should provide all the material you need to put together a tailor-made great xmas party album.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'd be daft not to, 19 Nov 2004

By	Mr. A. C. Gilbert "thegilb" (Chatel sur Rolle, Switzerland) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

44 songs for thirteen quid? A "who's who" of Christmas classics going back into out collective memory? Fine, one or two may require judicious use of the skip forward button, but I defy anyone not to start singing along if you put this on at a Christmas party. There's no need to comment on the songs - I bet you know at least thirty of them by heart.
Just as with "Guilty Pleasures", old back catalogues may mean that the album does not cost much for the music company to pull together, but, in the right circumstances, it is well worth their effort. A great idea and a great present too!!!
