5.0 out of 5 stars Cool Yule Classics, November 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Ultimate Christmas Album, Vol. 3: WCBS FM 101.1 (Audio CD)

Every year come Oct. I start pulling out my carton of Christmas music, taking inventory & getting ready to put myself in the mood for holiday shopping. The Ultimate Christmas Albums 1 thru 4 are without fail my very favorites. Each cd has a great variety of Christmas songs, whether traditional, rock, pop, soul, etc. Something for everyone. These collections are highly recommended for both home & office Christmas parties. Satisfaction guaranteed.

4.0 out of 5 stars A delightful trip through Christmas past with pop oldies., November 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Ultimate Christmas Album, Vol. 3: WCBS FM 101.1 (Audio CD)

A wonderful mixed collection of Christmas songs that have played Top 40 radio sometime since World War II. The third in the WCBS collection, this one has a strong set of classics, several of my favorites, and some that never made it very big.

The best (Jose Feliciano: Feliz Navidad), the surprising (The Supremes: Twinkle, Twinkle Me), the traditional (Nat King Cole), the uproarious , and the oddball (Singing Dogs) are here.

This album avoids the boredom that plagues some collections, and it moves nicely from ballads to rockers.

Well produced, this CD has clean sound.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best of the bunch, December 13, 2008

This review is from: Ultimate Christmas Album 3: Wcbs FM 101.1 (Audio Cassette)

The Ultimate Christmas Album, Volume 3: WCBS FM 101.1 is one hour, fourteen minutes, and seven seconds long and was released on October 8, 1996. Volume 1 and 2 are great; then Volume 3 came and it went downhill. Jingle Bells done by the Singing Dogs is just awful. If this was a CD, I would just skip over that number. Chrissy The Christmas sounds cheesy and All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth is no better. Jose Felicano song Feliz Navidad is the best on the cassette. The other 21 songs hold their own weight. The Ultimate Christmas Album, Volume 3: WCBS FM 101.1 gets a C-.
