Here the most famous songs of the holiday season, sung by the most famous singers, are presented. Brenda Lee's “Rockin 'Around The Christmas Tree”, Judy Garland's “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and Eartha Kitt's “Santa Baby” are just three examples of the quality of the songs.
Collectables Records' various-artists compilation The Ultimate Christmas Album has been released both on its own and as a tie-in with a series of radio stations. There are identical editions of the album associated with KLUV, K-Earth 101 FM, and WCBS FM-101.1 in addition to this version, WJMK 104.3 Chicago. The word "ultimate" has been overused and misused in record releases to the point that it doesn't mean very much to see it on the cover of an album. Whether or not one considers this album to justify its title will have a lot to do with individual musical taste. If the potential consumer is a listener to one of the radio stations listed above, which are oldies stations devoted to playing pop/rock music of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, he or she may agree that the album is the ultimate in holiday music of that period.
150 original early rock 'n' roll and rockabilly recordings from Jimmy Wages, Lee Cole, Ronnie Self, Pat Cupp, Tony Casanova, Walter Brown, Al Urban, Carl Phillips, Don Feger, Don Willis, Don Woody, Glenn Honeycutt, Gene Brown, Joey Castle, Mike Cashman and many others.
This superb collection is a must-have for all 1950s rockabilly fans and collections.
