I did not receive it yet so I cannot give you a review. I am not pleased that I had to wait this long and it still hasn't been shipped. If it was unavailble I should have been told right away. It was a Christmas gift for someone and I will probably never get it. I think I'll stick to buying things at stores where I can see that they have. I ordered a book from Amazon last Christmas for a gift and the same thing happened. I never did receive it.

Bing Crosby is the father of the Christmas album. He sired the whole shooting match in 1942 when he recorded Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" for the Decca soundtrack of Holiday Inn, and the season has never been the same since. "White Christmas" isn't just Crosby's signature tune, it's also that of Christmas, selling millions around the world and inspiring countless recording artists to create their own holiday versions every year. This long overdue two-disc package features the original recording of "White Christmas" (often replaced by a later version on reissues) as well as all the seasonal songs Crosby cut over three decades. And with extensive liner notes and guest artists such as the Andrews Sisters, The Complete Decca Christmas Songbook is a slam-dunk gift buy for the whole family. --Martin Keller

Customer Reviews:

Crosby is Still the Voice of Christmas.......2006-12-17

There are three Christmas albums that remain my favorites: Rosemary Clooney's Columbia recordings of songs from White Christmas, the Decca studio recordings from the film with Danny Kaye and Peggy Lee, and The Complete Decca Christmas Songbook- The Voice of Christmas. This last CD includes 44 selections including a rare alternate take of "White Christmas".
However, there are still more Crosby/Decca Christmas recordings that are not included here: the A Christmas Sing with Bing- Around the World, a 1955 radio broadcast that was released on records. Perhaps someday Bear Records will do for Crosby what they have so beautifully done for Rosemary Clooney and Doris Day; put together the ultimate Bing Crosby CD set that this monumental contributor to music of the twentieth century so richly deserves.

Voice of Christmas Bing Crosby.......2006-02-24

Excellant CD. Bing Crosby's voice was fabulous. The songs on the CD are great to listen too. I listen to this CD all the time

WORTH BUYING.......2005-12-16

I actually suggest to you to buy this two disc set and make your own 80 minutes cd with it.I for instance like the WHITE CHRISTMAS rendition with PEGGY LEE more than the 1942 or the 1947 version,it's a matter of taste.The songs recorded with the ANDREW SISTERS have a special flavour and have great nostalgic appeal.I was glad to hear many songs that i didn't know BING recorded like A MARSHMALLOW WORLD and CHRISTMAS IS A-COMIN.I wonder why they did not include FAITH OF OUR FATHERS in the collection.Anyway,if you consider yourself a fan of BING,you will buy this and you won't be disapointed.The booklet is also very interesting to read,telling the stories of those recordings collected through many years.

Father Christmas' Complete Decca Recordings.......2005-04-09

Bing's complete Decca Christmas collection! What more could you ask for? Well if you want to be particular I would have loved to see all of the songs that have appeared on the legendary Merry Christmas/White Christmas album(s) (there have been several varations over the years) but I guess songs like Danny Boy and Faith of Our Fathers don't technically qualify as Christmas songs. That said it's as close to perfect as you can get.

It's worth noting that if your looking for Bing's later Christmas recordings you'll have to look to the Capital collection "Bing Crosby's Christmas Classics." The latest version has been updated and now includes the famous Bowie duet.

Get it for $9.99.......2003-12-23

I agree with the reviewers - this is the ultimate Crosby album for Christmas. But if you want to save some bucks and you are a BMG music service member, you can get it for $9.99, shipping included, during their holiday sale. (If you're not a member, go join and you'll get this CD + 10 more for free.)

Jim Reeves is such an excellent singer his voice just penetrates you to your soul. This Christmas collection has been a tradition in our family ever since I was small, and I'm so happy to share it with my children.
Music has changed completly, and in today's music you will never find a classic like Jim Reeves. I highly recommend his music!

Heartwarming Xmas Cheer (but one small flaw).......2005-10-25

This album of great Christmas songs, on the Liberty subsidiary of the Capitol label, is a fine collection with one very small flaw.

This isn't just another collection of the same old classic Christmas recordings, as beloved as those recordings may deservedly be. Liberty has done an admirable job of pulling together some very good (and sometimes little-known) versions of Christmas songs on the Capitol label, all by great performers, and has leavened them with numerous non-Capitol cuts licensed from other labels.

These cross-label compilations are much appreciated (by me anyway) for the effort taken to put together a truly interesting selection, instead of just relying on the in-house properties. Liberty has stayed away from many classic recordings that are often heard on other Christmas compilations, in favor of less well known versions -- for example, substituting Jo Stafford's excellent version of "White Christmas" for Bing's masterful recording, which is featured on most compilations. The result is a Christmas collection unlike the others you've heard, but one that's no less deserving of attention than the ones that feature the best-known recordings.

Other little-known recordings of well-known Christmas songs include "Jingle Bells" by Les Paul (yes, the great jazz guitarist and guitar/multitrack inventor); "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," "Winter Wonderland," and "Baby It's Cold Outside" by songwriter and Capitol founder Johnny Mercer (with the Pied Pipers on the first two and Margaret Whiting on the third); and "Sleigh Ride" by Louis Castellucci and the Capitol Symphonic Band. The album even starts with a very early (1946) and very good version of "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" by the Nat King Cole Trio, rather than the more recent NKC recording from the early 60s that most of us know.

Some of the more familiar and beloved recordings included here are Bing's great "I'll Be Home For Christmas," Judy Garland's "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "The Little Drummer Boy" by the Harry Simeone Chorale, and Perry Como's "There's No Place Like Home For the Holidays" (a song that, for no real reason, I grew to really love during last year's holidays, although I'd heard it since childhood -- I guess I finally realized that I can relate to the story of travelling home for the holidays). Ella Fitzgerald contributes a nice rendition of "The First Noel," and Louis Armstrong jazzes it up with "Zat You, Santa Claus?" Peggy Lee does a similarly lively job with her jazzy version of "Jingle Bells" called "I Like a Sleigh Ride."

I should also mention the very informative liner notes by the ever-knowledgeable Will Friedwald, the author of several excellent books about pre-rock music (including "Jazz Singing" and "Sinatra: The Song Is You" - both highly recommended).

The one small flaw is a mislabeling of Bob Hope's classic "Silver Bells," from his performance as the title character in "The Lemon Drop Kid," a wonderful movie taken from a Christmas story by Damon Runyon. The liner notes say that it's a 1960 recording from the Coral label, with Bob's singer-wife Dolores joining him for this duet number. Bob's performance on this CD, however, is obviously from his later years, not from 1960 -- his voice, while on-key and very affecting, is that of a very old man, not the 57-year-old he was in 1960. I would guess that this is actually a track from the 1996 "Hopes for the Holidays" album that Bob and Dolores recorded when he was 93. It's a very nice rendition of a great Christmas song, but it doesn't completely fit with the 40s/50s/60s recordings on the remainder of the album. (But hey, it's a classic song sung by the man who introduced it, with a wife who can really sing!)

(I could have done without "The Chipmunk Song," a novelty that I've grown tired of, but I can't deny that it's a classic for baby boomers.)

So, despite the small flaw of mislabeling Bob Hope's "Silver Bells," I'd highly recommend this collection. You'll find a lot of great Christmas songs that you love performed by some masterful singers.

Beautiful interpretations.......2000-10-26

The very first track on this CD, Verbum patris umanatur OO, will probably be familiar to anyone who frequently listens to medieval music on recordings or in concert; however, the first thing that strikes the listener is that the singers perform it with a luminous, ecstatic, almost mystical quality that is quite different from other performances that I've heard that emphasize a jaunty rhythmic quality making it sound more like a processional or dance piece. Of course, various interpretations are valid, but it's so refreshing to hear a rendition of such a wonderful piece that it gives you that ah-hah kind of experience, noticing the music with new ears. Naturally, the entire album is beautifully performed with the style and exquisite taste that one expects from all Gothic Voices recordings.

This album is especially intimate for this group, consisting of songs for 1, 2, or 3 unaccompanied voices, but Mr. Page guides the singers through extremely compelling performances, which always suggest that the singers are genuinely enjoying what they're doing. Gothic Voices has always featured singers with clear, well-focused voices, raising them above (in my opinion) early music vocal groups that tend to favor softer, fuzzier, more blended vocal styles. This CD definitely continues the high standards they have set with their many interesting recordings to date.
