Editorial Reviews
Nothing says 'Christmas' like Elvis Presley on the stereo! From his '50s holiday tunes including 'Blue Christmas' to his early '70s musical yuletide offerings like 'Merry Christmas, Baby', The King Of Rock 'N Roll always sang from the heart and this collection of Christmas tunes is the perfect example of how he could connect with each and every song he performed. This is an excellent soundtrack to your busy holiday schedule!

Format:Audio CD
Elvis recorded 20 Christmas songs during his career. 19 of them are on this CD in addition to 4 Gospel songs which were included on his 1957 Christmas album.
This collection combines the 1957 version of Elvis' Christmas album and his 1971 "The Wonderful World of Christmas" album. This CD was certified GOLD by the RIAA and is an excellent collection with one omission, it leaves off his recording of "If Every Day was Like Christmas" which was released as a single in 1966 and included on the 1970 repackaging of his Christmas album.
The songs recorded for the 1957 Elvis Christmas album are outstanding! Elvis is in top form for these songs and several of them have become Christmas classics still receiving radio play 50 years after they were recorded!
The rest of the songs from his 1971 "The Wonderful World of Christmas" album are good but not in the same class as the earlier recordings. Elvis' voice seems strained on a few songs and in general the material is not has strong as his earlier recordings. But still they are very good and certainly worthy of listening to during the Christmas season.
However, I would recommend that you buy the Elvis "White Christmas" (if you can still find it) or "If Every Day Was Like Christmas" CDs instead of this one; I think they are a better value. "White Christmas" includes every song on this CD plus "If Every Day was Like Christmas" and "Mama Liked The Roses" which were included on the 1970 edition of his Christmas album. The "If Every Day Was Like Christmas" CD does not include the 4 Gospel songs here, but it does include all 20 Elvis Christmas songs plus 4 alternate versions making it the most comprehensive Elvis Christmas CD available. Or if you really want an Elvis Christmas and Gospel collection you could spend a few extra bucks on his "Christmas Peace" release which includes his 20 Christmas songs in addition to 20 Gospel songs on 2 CDs.

This album is the best. It brought back a lot of memories and has many of the Xmas carols that Elvis sang that are still being played over the air these days.

I've always dug Elvis Presley's stuff,but to me it can be argued that his best stuff was either His Gospel stuff or His christmas stuff. this collection combines all of his Christmas songs. every Christmas I play Elvis's Christmas Music. His Voice is Soulful&he captures the feelings of that time of the year.

Elvis has one of the best Christmas albums out there.
He has his own style that has thrilled audiences for generations now. Elvis Presley might be the greatest pop star of the 20th Century. He is great. Read more
