4.0 out of 5 stars A rare holiday, February 13, 1999

For Elvis trackspotters and completists, 5 of the 9 tracks here are previously unreleased versions, as you'll note. This is the only place on Earth to get the almost 8-minute version of Merry Christmas Baby (outlasting the standard release by about 2 1/2 minutes). For the novice, you could certainly have a decent (if short) party with this CD, as "Blue Xmas," "Santa Claus is Back" and "Merry Xmas Baby" are all here. Mostly from the '71 sessions. Docked a star for not being a $7.99 cheapie, having only 9 tracks (the price ain't Amazon's fault, I paid about the same for mine).

"Memories of Christmas" is a must-have for Elvis Presley collectors because of its previously unreleased material. The unedited "Merry Christmas Baby" and a memorable alternate take of "I'll Be Home On Christmas Day" justify the purchase. Both 1971 recordings can only be found in this holiday compilation.

I was finally able to nab this CD through the Amazon.com seller marketplace & can't tell you how good it felt to hear the Alternate Extended Version of O Come All Ye Faithful :)
The rest of the CD is nicely evened out too, & the Extended Version of "Merry Christmas Baby" is fun to hear too.
Go & grab this CD through the Amazon.com seller marketplace if you get the chance.
