Product description

PHIL SPECTOR / VARIOUS ARTISTS - A Christmas Gift for You (2002 UK digitally remastered CD issue of the 13-track festive album featuring classic seasonal songs from Darlene Love The Ronettes The Crystals and Bob B. Soxx & The Blue Jeans) - EAN 044006651125

Amazon.co.uk

This lavish holiday set has been called the greatest rock & roll Christmas album of all time. That's an opinion that's tough to argue with when you find yourself immersed in the massive sounds painstakingly crafted by legendary producer Phil Spector. His "wall-of-sound" technique is perfectly suited to the music of the season, as he proves with layer upon layer of piano, sleigh bells, buoyant percussion and, of course, those legendary Spector sound harmonies. The Crystals turn their sassy interplay into sheer magic on "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town", The Ronettes stroll sweetly through numbers like "Sleigh Ride" and Darlene Love delivers a real knockout punch with her yearning version of "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)". Sure to become the soundtrack for your holidays. --David Sprague

    Deserves ten stars.

    I like Christmas music but to be honest had been stuck with the same half dozen CDs for too long now.

    I decided to splash the cash this year and chose around ten new CDs at good prices online - including Motown/Andy Williams/Bing/Elvis/Johnny Cash.

    So far I think this stands out as the best for me.

    Sadly, my girlfriend isn't the biggest xmas music fan (e.g. detests Fairytale Of New York, which I find unthinkable) - and ultimately comments unfavourably on whatever xmas music emanates from my music-box each yuletide (The Waitresses and Stop The Cavalry aside) - and yet this LP played through in it's entirety without any snide remarks from her. Remarkable thought I (although I suppose there is the possibility she still disliked it just not enough to say.)

    The production is just awesome. Many others seem to agree. There is just something timeless about this set of excellent songs that you probably know but didn't realise you knew. I am guessing they have appeared in many seasonal films because I felt familiar with some of them but not too familar.

    If only all music could be so lovingly made.

    A wonderful Christmas gift for the whole world or those who believe in the power of music.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great selection of authentic rock'n'roll Christmas tunes.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 December 2015
    Verified Purchase
    A great selection of rock'n'roll Christmas tunes from 60s American artists with the excellent quality and rousing sound you should expect from a top-class producer. For some reason these tend not to appear on the usual compilations (unless being massacred by Mariah Carey or Michael Buble to pad their latest CD) but are an absolute must-have. For example, Darlene Love's 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)' is the track that opens Joe Dante's 'Gremlins', but outside of that movie, where will anyone under 45 have heard it?
    (The spoken-word thanks from the producer over the last track is a little corny, but just program your deck to skip it, or rip everything but that one!)

    I have the cassette of this, bought years ago, and just love it. However, I decided I really needed to replace it with a CD and I don't regret it. All the Big Sound on favourite Christmas songs. I'm really looking forward to next Christmas when it'll be back out and I can hear those excellent tracks again.

    The title says it all really - nothing gets me in the Christmas mood like this album. I had it on cassette tape for many years and now of course we never use those so I finally got round to buying the CD. There's not a dud track on it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Die beste Weihnachts-CD aller Zeiten
    Reviewed in Germany on 23 November 2007
    Verified Purchase
    Nein, sie ist nicht in die Jahre gekommen, die 1963 enstandene LP " A Christmas Gift For You " from Phil Spector. Als diese LP erschien, war die Welt, war Amerika voll und ganz beschäftigt mit dem tragischen Geschehen um John F. Kennedy. Phil Spectors Weihnachts-LP wurde deswegen kaum beachtet und war fast 20 Jahr lang so gut wie nicht mehr zu haben. Dann endlich, Anfang der 90er Jahre, nahm sich Phil Spetor unter dem Dach seines eigenen und des Labels EMI noch ein Mal dieser Weihnachts-LP an, alle 13 songs wurden für perfekten Klang digital remastered und erschienen nun als CD, die sofort und bis heute einen unglaublichen Siegeszug hinter sich hat. Es liegt wohl daran, dass gerade die Einspielungen dieser Kopplung so etwas darstellen wie die Krönung der Schaffensperiode von Phil Spector und seinen Künstlern Anfang der 60er Jahre: den Ronettes, den Crystals, Darlene Love und Bob B. Soxx & The Blue Jeans. In einer unglaublichen Perfektion,wie sie Phil Spector damals zueigen war, wurden alle Titel dieser CD aufgenommen. Diese Rundum-Perfektion von Arrangement,Darbietung, Titel- und Künstlerauswahl ist es
    wohl, die den hohen Anspruch auch heute noch ungemildert auf den Zuhörer überträgt und eigentlich jeden anspricht, der diese Musik ein Mal gehört hat. Es ist eine glückliche Fügung, dass diese Weihnachts-CD heute noch zu haben ist und man sollte sich diese Gelegenheit nicht entgehen lassen! Wie schon gesagt:
    digitally remastered kommt sie zeitlos-frisch daher, ein echter Weihnachtsstern. Verwiesen sei an dieser Stelle auf die zur Zeit auch noch erhältlichen " Best Of " CDs von The Ronettes, The Crystals und Darlene Love im Phil Spector Label " Abkco Records ", die zwar etwas teuer geworden sind und nicht das Niveau der Weihnachts-CD erreichen, aber auch ein Stück Zeitgeschichte rund um " Die Beste Weihnachts-CD
    aller Zeiten " sind und bleiben. Für " A Christmas Gift For You " from Phil Spector ohne jeden Abstrich fünf (Weihnachts- )Sterne !

    幸福な気持ちに包まれます。
    子供時代のあのクリスマスが真空パックされているので、イントロから温かい気持ちになって胸躍ります。
    フィル・スペクターが発明したウォール・オブ・サウンドの奥行きある喧騒と幻想の音像が、クリスマスの音楽と組み合わさったときに筆舌し難いドリーミー感になるなんて誰が思い付いたのでしょう。
    感服致しました。
