5.0 out of 5 stars As it had to be done..., November 18, 2004

For years, I wondered, why there was no real Holiday album by Dean Martin: The answer is that simple: Dino cut two Christmas albums, one for Capitol and one for Reprise, but each of them contained only a bunch of Christmas-related selections. So, if you really want to get a Holiday album by DM, get this one!
Featured here are the Holiday cuts from the Capitol album "A Winter Romance", selections from "The Dean Martin Christmas Album" on Reprise Records, plus a somewhat rare selection from a Capitol single. Beside the now Dino-trademark Capitol recordings of "Winter Wonderland" and "Let It Snow!", you will learn how these tracks sounded, when Dino re-recorded them nearly a decade later. Of course, a compilation of this kind fully qualifies for five stars, but there are still a few things, that could have been better: First of all, Capitol recently finds it unnecessary to include liner notes for the Rat Pack releases. It would also be sufficient, if recording details (arranger, conductor, date) had been included instead of endless credits to the DM foundation. Last but not least, there would have been enough playing time for additional selections.
But here's the real thing, why you should get this one: With the hundreds of official and less official compilations around, you won't find a better-sounding source for the material provided here.
So add this to Nat's "Christmas Song", Frank's "Jolly Christmas" and the Rat Pack CD and have a merry Christmas!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get it Before it's Gone, November 15, 2006

If you're looking for the original versions of Dean doing these songs, this is the CD you're looking for. It's gone out of print, but it's still available here from private sellers. The new version of this, which has the exact same title, has replaced the female accompanying vocal in "Baby it's Cold Outside" with a new one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Dino Christmas CD to own, December 9, 2005

I own just about every Dino/Rat Pack Christmas album they have, and I think this is the best Dean one to get. The sound quality is great, it has all the songs in one place (plus alternate versions), quotes in the liner notes, and the picture on the cover and the one inside aren't too bad, either ;) .
