***** WELCOME TO ALLHART99 RECORDS *****
Elvis' 1957 original Christmas album is one of his most inspired early outings and the first time he tackled anything resembling a thematic concept. Split evenly between rockers and bluesy numbers like "Santa Claus Is Back in Town," "Blue Christmas," and "Santa Bring My Baby Back to Me," perennials like "White Christmas," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," and "Silent Night," and straight-ahead gospel favorites like "I Believe," "Peace in the Valley" and "Take My Hand, Precious Lord," the disc revealed a different side of the rocker for the first time on a public instead conditioned to expect something outrageous. One of the King's shining moments, this is quite simply still one of the best holiday albums available.
This is single rarest Elvis' album of the 1950's. Much rarer than even his first album, and about as hard to find as the "alternate" version of his second album. What makes this album so rare is the combination of the original design (masquerading as a book) which didn't withstand the test of time particularly well (almost all copies are torn, tattered or damaged in some way), extremely limited press run, strictly seasonal nature of the album, and general lack of enthusiasm for Elvis singing Christmas music (why, yes…he was usually associated with the "ungodly" music). However, this is an awesome recording, and many feel very strongly that Elvis' singing vocal prowess was never again in such a full display as here. This album will provide you an ample evidence why Elvis was not only one of the very few great pop singers, but probably the greatest of them all (with apologies to Roy Orbison, Del Shannon, Bill Medley and Gene Pitney). No wonder he was considered "The King".
