ultimate Xmas

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: it was complete on time and very good. Thank you for a very good job

Like all the other Christmas albums I own...

 Album Rating: (2 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Have to tell you, I was suckered in by the Ultimate title, and a singer or two that sounded more recent. It turned out to be just another same ole Christmas album with one or two songs I hadn't heard. Some of the songs are just plain not good renditions - IMHO, of course.

A cool compendium of Christmas songs

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Imagine a CD with such songs as Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas" or Judy Garland singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" or Elvis Presley taking on "Blue Christmas" or Dionne Warwick warbling "It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas" or Johnny Mathis' version of "Sleigh Ride."

Other performers? A potpourri! Nat King Cole, Boyz II Men, Ella Fitzgerald, Luciano Pavarotti, Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston, Kenny G, Eartha Kitt, Carly Simon, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, and Sarah McLachlan.

This is my family holiday gift to us all. So that on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we can listen to some classics!!

Not recommended

Review Comments: This and Ultimate 2 are perhaps the worst Christmas music CD's that I have ever purchased. Almost every artist seems to think that they know better what the music to Christmas carols ought to be than the composer. Enough already! I would like traditional sounds, not these abortions!

great selection, sub par sound

Review Comments: SO..... Its the time of year for Christmas music. This year, I am loading my ipod with Christmas music, and broadcasting it to my co workers and customers. Daunting task, because SOOOO Many Christmas discs, contain overlapping songs. So, i have to listen to them and decide which contains the best sound quality and no duplicates (obviously duplicate songs, but not duplicate versions). Right now, i am at 1083!
So.... I ripped, 13 songs from this cd. When i deleted the ones that were inferior to other duplicates, I was left with only 2 and both were the only ones i had. It was surprising to me, considering that this is a Universal release.
I give the content 3.5 stars, and 1 for sound
