My family has listened to this album every Christmas Eve since 1976 (I was two)! I can't believe they sell this LP on CD! I am sooo excited that I bought a copy for my brother in TX, one for my sister in CA, and one for myself (in PA). We still listen to the original LP at my parent's house every year.

I'm amazed that so many other people feel exactly how I do about this album. Christmas just isn't the same without it! I can't stop smiling!

I love this album. It was given to me for a present years ago and I listened to it every year. I no longer have a turn table so I am very pleased it is on CD. I would also like the other Christmas Albums by SalSoul on CD but have not been able to find them. This album really gets you in the mood for Christmas.

For as long as I remember we have listened faithfully to salsoul christmas every christmas eve! My uncle introduced the family to "disco christmas" back in the seventies, and we have been hooked every since! Christmas wouldn't be the same without it! And finally, after wearing out the tape, it is available on cd...this one will get you moving, I promise you!

I used to own this on vinyl and played it constantly. When I saw it was available on CD I had to get it. But when I listened to the CD, I was slightly disappointed in how different it sounded. The "remixed" versions aren't as good as the original vinyl recording and there are some slight changes especially noticeable in the Christmas Medley. Also, I feel the New Year's/Americana Suite was an unnecessary addition (I usually stop the CD before it gets to this track). Overall, it is still a good collection of holiday music...it just doesn't have the same feel to it that it used to.

I thought I was the only one looking for this album! I had a tape that my kids and I played when they were growing up and I lost it. My kids are now adults and they ask every year have I found the SalSoul Orchestra Christmas Album--it's part of their Christmas memories. I thought it was not available though I, too, had looked everywhere for it. It's my favorite and now I want my granddaughters to enjoy it just like my daughters did. I'm ordering one for myself and one for each of my daughters. I can hear the music in my head just typing this. It's the best! And this is from cold Minnesota.

My mother brought this album home Christmas of 1975. We have baked cookies, wrapped presents and decorated to this album ever since. My mother's turn table broke and we have not been able to play it for the past couple of them. She is going to be so pleased when we can this year on the CD player. I am sooo!!! pleased. We can go on with our lives now. Christmas just is not be the same without it!

My parents had the record growing up, and they played it over and over. My four syblings and I grew up loving this lp. The music gets into your heart and spirit and takes you into a Christmas that reunites childhood memories with new. All four syblings have the CD and will play it every Christmas to remind us of our parents and the wonderful, fun filled holidays they created for us at home. I wonder if there is anyone else out there who grew up with this music.

This album is one of the best Christmas compilations ever. If there are any bah humbugers around, play this cd and soon toes will be tapping, fingers will be snapping and heads bopping. Great family cd. Presently, my 2yr old is learning Christmas carols for his school play, he recognizes the songs and every evening we must play this CD so he can dance and sing.

It's very rare these days to find Christmas albums in which every track is a hit. You can't go wrong with this album. This album will defintely have Scrooge singing and dancing.

Tired of the same old same old Christmas songs & carols? Tired of being at some holiday celebration & the music is so stale & boring you can't even bring yourself to get up & dance? Well, then, THIS COLLECTION IS JUST FOR YOU! As soon as it hits your turntable you'll be in the mood to really shake your groove thing. Be warned, though-if your friends want to 'borrow' it there's no guarantee that you will get it back-I write this from experience. All of these tunes are great but of course the one that gets the most air-play is the always terrific Merry Christmas All by Denise Fontana. Even if you only need one 'party' album for the holidays, this should be the one to get. Very highly recommended.

I grew up listening to this on vinyl and I was so happy to find it on cd! It's disco like but I absolutely love it!
