MOG Editorial Review

Even before his murder conviction, eclectic '60's pop producer Phil Spector seemed like an unlikely candidate to produce a Christmas album. But in 1963, he put out an album of holiday classics in the key of his baroque, wall of sound style. Featuring go-to Spector artists like Darlene Love, the Ronettes, the Crystals and the awesomely-named Bob B Soxx & The Blue Jeans, this is an album to put on if you want to celebrate Christmas in style. By the time you make it to Spanish-tinged "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" you'll know exactly why this revered pop gem has grown larger in stature with each passing year.
