NotesRay Conniff sold more records than any other arranger/conductor in the history of pop music. So it's no surprise that his three Christmas albums were smash hits, charting a total of 16 times between them. Leading off was 1959's Christmas with Conniff, which went to #14 on the charts, the first of five chart appearances; then came 1962's We Wish You a Merry Christmas, which went to #15 for the first of it's eight turns atop the charts; and, finally, 1965's Here We Come A-Caroling, which also went to #15 atop the Christmas charts for the first of it's three appearances. Now, Real Gone Music has put together all three of these albums-plus a bonus track, Conniff's 1965 version of "My Favorite Things"-into a bargain-priced 2-CD set comprising every Christmas track Ray recorded during his historic run at Columbia Records. The 31-track collection includes photos from the Columbia vaults, new liner notes by Joe Marchese, and a fresh remastering at Sony's Battery Studios in New York. Some of the most beloved holiday recordings of all time all in one place, presented with panache!

  • Ray Conniff Christmas Collection is Excellent !

    I grew up in the 1960's with Ray Conniff's music and his 3 Christmas records were always being played during the holiday season. When I saw this set available last fall I picked up a copy and have enjoyed it very much. All 3 Christmas records on 2 CD'S. The sound quality is excellent with all songs in true stereo sound ! Highly Recommended !!
