COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Yes, Christmas submitted by manz on December 16, 2012, 12:52pm Released in 1987, this is one of my favorite Christmas albums of all time! Such great tunes. I have many fond memories of dancing around to this CD as a kid. It was probably the first non-traditional holiday album we heard. Many other "Very Special Christmas" albums have been released, but this was the first and the top. [#1 jam = Christmas in Hollis by Run DMC.]

Good collection of covers from the 1980's and a couple originals submitted by djoseph on December 15, 2019, 12:58pm This album has classic Christmas songs performed by well known artists of various musical genre from the 80's. There will be something on it for everyone, except maybe those who only like Bing Crosby, Andy Williams, et. al.
