Holiday Albums
Christina Aguilera’s 2000 chart-topping holiday album, My Kind Of Christmas, is being reissued on Vinyl with brand new holographic artwork. The album features Christina’s memorable take on classics like “This Christmas,” “Angels We Have Heard On High” plus holiday originals “Christmas Time,” “This Year,” and more!
As one of country music’s biggest acts of the 1980s, Alabama’s first foray into the music of Christmas was no ordinary collection of carols. These 10 originals combined the spirit of the season with the crowd-pleasing sound that made the group a Southern staple. Available on vinyl for the first time since its original release in 1985, Alabama’s Christmas includes the hit single “Christmas In Dixie,” the beautiful ballad “Tennessee Christmas” and the jolly “Thistlehair The Christmas Bear.”
Already a radio staple for his straight-shootin’ singing cowboy act, Gene Autry changed the sound of Christmas music twice during his incredible career: once in 1947 with his original composition “Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane),” and again two years later for his chart-topping rendition of “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer.” Now, for the first time on vinyl, this collection offers 18 original holiday classics, including “Up On The House Top,” “Frosty The Snowman” and many more.
After four years of late night Ritz cracker and balsam-scented-candle-fueled recording sessions, the Beta Radio Christmas quadrilogy is complete! The Songs the Season Brings, Vols. 1-4, is a collection of classic and original Christmas songs to help you celebrate the holiday season. This album is a compilation of four holiday EPs, each recorded in the fall across a four year span. 180g black vinyl. Limited Edition.

Produced by composer and multi-Grammy and Academy Award nominee Stephan Moccio and set to stunning new arrangements, A Family Christmas is beautiful, intimate, and warm. The Bocelli family sings to you from the sanctuary of their own sitting room, by their fire, relaxing as they momentarily switch off from the rest of the world. It is the sound of a family taking a precious moment to be with each other and celebrate what is truly important. The beautiful soundtrack of their family Christmas.
This pressing marks the very first vinyl release of the blues titan’s 1994 Christmas album. Nominated for Best Traditional Blues Album at the 1995 GRAMMY® Awards, this release offers a warm, laid-back set of primarily original material—including Brown’s modern yuletide classics “Please Come Home for Christmas” and the Top 10 chart hit “Merry Christmas Baby,” while he puts his own stellar twist on “Silent Night.” Lacquers were cut by George Horn and Anne-Marie Suenram at Fantasy Studios.
Johnny Cash was a musical phenomenon and an American icon with his legendary musical career starting in the 1950's at Sun Records. His plethora of hit recordings led to a major move to Columbia Records, and the late legend charted recordings in all the major formats like country, rock , pop, folk, and gospel genres, sharing his legendary vocal, guitar and songwriting persona for millions of fans worldwide.
With 1963's The Christmas Spirit Lp, Johnny Cash teams up with producer Don Law (Ray Price) and created one of the most revered holiday and inspirational hit albums of all time. The album features Johnny's stellar interpretations of both popular and religious favorites like the definitive hit version of "I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day," the Tex Ritter favorite "Here Was A Man," June Carter Cash's "Christmas As I Knew It," plus more traditional fare such as "Blue Christmas" and "The Little Drummer Boy." His impressive readings of inspirational favorites like "Silent Night, Holy Night," plus Johnny's own "The Christmas Spirit" and "Who Kept The Sheep," truly made the The Christmas Spirit Lp a groundbreaking effort for this sorely missed legend.
This fine album has been out of print for decades on vinyl, and it is our honor to announce the first time 180-gram audiophile vinyl presentation of The Christmas Spirit by the late great Johnny Cash on Friday Music. This limited edition audiophile masterpiece is now impeccably mastered by Joe Reagoso and is pressed by RTI on 180-gram translucent blue vinyl for the holidays. Also, the LP features the original artwork not seen in years, in a first time gatefold presentation exclusively from the Columbia Records archives.

The Legendary “Rock Band With Horns” Gets Into The Spirit Of The Holiday Season With An Album That Mixes Original Christmas Songs And Yuletide Favorites.
Produced by founding member Lee Loughnane, CHICAGO CHRISTMAS is the 37th album of the band’s career and its fourth holiday collection. Whereas its previous releases focused more on traditional Christmas songs, the new record spotlights holiday music the band wrote especially for the album, including “All Over The World,” “(Because) It’s Christmastime,” and “I’m Your Santa Claus.” The album also features R&B and ballad versions of “Merry Christmas, I Love You,” a song that Loughnane wrote with John Durrill of The Ventures, the best-selling instrumental band of all time.
Along with the new songs, the album also features the band’s interpretations of two holiday standards: “Here We Come A Caroling” and “Sleigh Ride.” It’s the second time Chicago has recorded “Sleigh Ride.” A different version appears on Chicago XXXIII: O Christmas Thee (2011). The album’s other non-original track is a soulful Chicago interpretation of the Hal David and Burt Bacharach classic, “What The World Needs Now Is Love,” which founding member Robert Lamm thought had a timely message for the holidays.

For the holidays, you can’t beat home sweet home—and you can’t beat the music of Perry Como, either! Mr. C’s warm baritone could be heard on many a Christmas tune during his tenure for RCA Victor, but Season’s Greetings From Perry Como was his first proper album of all Christmas music. Featuring a new recording of his classic “(There’s No Place Like) Home For The Holidays,” plus renditions of “White Christmas,” “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen” and a closing suite of songs telling the story of the first Christmas, Season’s Greetings is a fine reminder of what made Perry Como one of the most treasured singers of the 1950s. Add it to your holiday music collection with the first vinyl pressing of the album in more than 35 years!

My childhood memories of Christmas aren't warm and fuzzy. The holidays were more of a nuisance for my parents than cause for celebration. This is not to say that on behalf of their only child they didn't give the season a halfhearted try. There were Christmases when I found under the tree an electric football set, a Daisy pump air-rifle and a basketball goal that never got nailed up. But, there were also mornings when apples, oranges, hickory nuts and a hammer signified that year's bounty. Which is to say that Christmas in our household was mostly a wait-and-see proposition. I was finally ready to record an album of original Christmas songs. With Dan Knobler producing and some very gifted musicians and vocalists lending their talents, the making of the album Christmas Everywhere ranks as some of the most enjoyable recording sessions I've ever experienced. The record was close to being finished when it occurred to me that to set the tone for the albums mostly irreverent subtext, I needed to compose a lyrical prelude. In honor of Clement Moore, who wrote the poem we all know as, 'The Night Before Christmas,' I came up with a short piece called 'Clement's Lament (We'll See You in The Mall)'. Tania Hancheroff and Kim Keyes stopped by the studio and performed the tune with Jordan Lehning's orchestral backing and the album was pronounced complete. Seasons Cheer, Rodney Crowell
