CD Reviews

Yet another repackaging of his 1970 Christmas album

A Fan | VA | 09/17/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is yet another re-packaging of the 1970 edition of Elvis' Christmas album. His original Christmas album was released in 1957 and included 8 Christmas songs plus 4 Gospel songs from the Peace in the Valley EP. The album was re-packaged and re-released in 1970 with the 4 Gospel songs being replaced by Why Can't Everyday Be Like Christmas (which was originally released as a single in 1966) and the non-Christmas song Mama Liked the Roses.

The songs on here are excellent and have become Christmas standards, still receiving radio air play around the Holidays. This is a nice collection if you do not already have one of the previous releases, however I think you can find the over releases for cheaper. I would recommend that you get the "If Everyday Was Like Christmas" CD instead. It includes every Christmas song Elvis recorded plus 4 alternate takes.

The 1970 edition of Elvis' Christmas album was Elvis' biggest selling album, with sales in the US in exceeding 9 million copies, just shy of the 10 million required for Elvis' first DIAMOND award. It makes no sense to me why BMG/RCA decide to discountinue selling the 1970 edition, but instead sell it as a re-packed "new" album when they were so close to the 10 million sales milestone!!!"

"this is a lovely package and the music is well....Elvis

I had to keep myself from playing to too much because I didn't want to get tired of it, but this is a keeper and the candle shaped like Elvis' guitar is so sweet. took me back to my childhood this did"
