THIS is the ultimate Christmas album!

"HOWEVER, each time I've ordered it from Amazon (4 times last year for Christmas and again once this year) Amazon has sent me the wrong version with Louis Armstrong and not Nat King Cole. Don't get me wrong, Armstrong is a legendary artist, but the Cole version is the one we listened to when I was a kid, and it's not the same...So if you want THIS album, try and dig it up elsewhere (even after complaining to Amazon, they didn't do anything to help me and get it right) and if you DO find it please let me know!!!"
Historic and apt for today

"If you want quality Christmas music from quality artists then this cd is for you.If sound quality is the primary goal then look elsewhere. Some of the recording quality refects the time period that they were made. The other thing that could cause a fuss is the duplication of some songs.The various performances that were for servicemen overseas in 1945 it is rather poinent for today with our current problems. It is good to see some modern performers answer the call. I love the songs and music and play it for all 12 days of Christmas. With three all time greats, you'll have a hard time not liking it too."
Good for the "Old Time Radio" crowd

"...at first, wasn't impressed. But, it has really grown on me. It's a piece of history and I tend to get reflective at Christmas. So this fits the bill.If you like Old Time Radio, as I do, this is good find. Yes, it's low fi but it really catches the spirit of meloncoly (sp?) of Christmas during WWII."
