My Christmas Music suggestion for yall
« on: November 30, 2006, 05:45:10 AM »
If anybody's looking for a perfect Christmas album for the holidays, check out the greatest Christmas Album of all time, recorded in the early 60's, Phil Spector's "A Christmas Gift For You".  Spector's up on trial for Murder right now and is crazy as a loon, but his wall of sound production in the early 60's is legendary.  You've probably heard half the songs on the album but never knew what they were from... they have a really deep sound with lots of echo and like 10 people singing at the same time. 

Anyways, if you look around, you can buy the CD on his boxset,"Back to Mono", for 15 bucks! at Amazon.com.  4 cd's of material, some of the greatest productions of all time, including the Christmas album.  I just bought one after I noticed how cheap it was.
