1.0 out of 5 stars There Are Better Beach Boy Christmas CDs Out There!, December 27, 2001

This review is from: Merry Christmas From the Beach Boys (Audio CD)

This is an atrocious rehash of the Beach Boys' "Christmas Album" with only nine of the twelve songs "presented" out of order with no liner notes, and poor sound quality to boot. Get the official "Christmas Album" instead, or better yet, get the "Ultimate Christmas" CD which has the entire "Christmas Album" plus lots of bonus tracks with three times the playing time and with fantastic sound quality compared to this sad CD.

I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Peace on earth, good will toward men (and women!).

2.0 out of 5 stars Buy Ultimate Christmas, December 27, 2001

The Beach Boys create some great Christmas music. But this is not a real album. It's a budget CD compilation and not from Capitol Records. Buy Ultimate Christmas. You get the original 1964 Christmas album in its entiriety plus GREAT extra tracks from the unreleased 1977 album and others.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not much to it..., December 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Merry Christmas From the Beach Boys (Audio CD)

I bought the CD in a shop as an impulse buy (I was somewhat seduced by the corny cover photo). The CD is only about 21 minutes long and, as a previous reviewer says, no liner notes whatsoever. The Beach Boys' harmonic vocals are great, but this is a recent cheapie compilation and I'd say it's a bit of a ripoff. The songs are a mix of rock tunes and traditional Christmas songs. I only found two to be unpalatable: the overly corny arrangement of "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" and the novelty rock tune "Santa's Beard". They just weren't my cup of tea. "Little Saint Nick" on the other hand is always a fun one.
