"Good stuff, but only if you buy the Euro or Asian versions with Mother of Love. Sounds like vintage Bee Gees and with Mother of Love vintage Robin composition and anthem vocals. Good enough for me to buy on one song alone.
Contemporary background but Robin vocals doing the magic up front."
How about alittle international consitency in song selection

"No doubt the material on this Christmas CD is better suited for Robin's gifted voice than his previous venture with the horrendous "Magnet" CD. The only thing that stuck to that Magnet was a bunch of bad reviews :-) But the record label chose to release the German version of "Favorite Carols" with 4 or 5 additional tracks including his new single "Mother of Love" that are not in the US version. Of course you can only order that overseas from sites like the German Amazon website. As a US resident, I'm not feeling the love here. All I can say is, I will have to shell out the additional bucks to get the German release and pass on the US, UK, Asian, and Canadian releases since none of these appear to have the extra songs. And that kinda ticks me off."

"Perfectly wonderfully Robin. You will certainly enjoy Robin's vocal presentation and arrangement of these traditional Christmas songs. The fans have been asking for this for a long time - and he gave so respectfully well.

Excellent Christmas Album

""My Favorite Carols" is an excellent CD. Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees voice hasn't changed one bit and shines so beautifully in this album. All of the songs are excellent but the songs "Mother of Love" and "Noel (No War)" truly stand out as two of the very best tracks. The only sad thing is like the other Robin Gibb solo albums that have been released in the past couple of years this is not getting any press release at all or advertisement and I think thats a shame because this CD should be known to the world especisally all of the millions of Bee Gees fans who are probably oblivious to this album at all at this time. The DVD is a little bit of Robin talking about Christmas of his childhood and the making of the album. It was fun to watch and also very short. But Thank You very much for this Robin. I've been waiting for a Bee Gees Christmas album for years!!"
