| | Customer Reviews: One of the best...... (10 December 2007)If not the best Christmas album out there ..... and beleive me I should know, I've bought pleanty over the years, I say if your looking for a all round, something for everyone Christmas Album get this one I'll be suprised if your disapointed 111 wizzard and slade!? (02 December 2007)This would have been the perfect christmas CD - but it is missing 2 of the most important songs in popular music christmas history - wizzard and slade! Disappointing. poor collection (30 November 2007)A very poor collection of christmas songs. Why is it so hard to release a CD with all the known favourites on it with originals. Every year i have to make my own. And since when was Mad World ever a christmas song? Just because it was a christmas number one, doesnt make it christmas in the slightest. What is wrong with these people. Its the same story with East 17 and Stay another day. Nothing christmas about it. Big deal, was number one at christmas and the video had some snow in it. Get over it. And proper crimbo from bo-selecta. Are they having a laugh at us mugs? It just says it all. And then Steps instead of the original classic!!! That was a novelty song and should not be on a Christmas CD. Some good songs... a lot of bad covers though! (28 October 2007)I feel a little bit ripped off by this CD set... you read the list of songs and it sounds great, but then you play many of them and they're really bland soul-less covers, cheesy pop versions, or versions by no one you've heard before. I thought I'd found a gem here, with all the great songs, but sadly its not the case. Several of the songs are the versions you DO want, such as Santa Baby and Rocking Around The Christmas Tree, but if you're wanting all of the song versions you know well, this might not be for you. A Simple Solution. (11 April 2007)It is a sad and simple truth that the perfect Xmas album does not exist, since no single record company or collection thereof own all the rights to all the songs you are going to want to hear. There is, however, a straightforward solution. 1)Buy this album. It is, despite its shortcomings, fantastic value(I got my copy for less than a fiver), it is after all a triple CD pack with 60 songs on it. 2)Buy "The best Christmas Album in the world...ever!"(yes there is some overlap but it does feature just about all those missing songs or superior versions that are required). 3)Make the "Most Perfect Xmas Album in the World Ever" by combining the above.If you own or have access to a computer(which I'm guessing you do if you're reading this) then it won't be too hard. |
