What I can say? Ray is THE man! Love his renditions on this collection. The pressing is practically perfect. Even for a red vinyl. Pick this one up!
Nice, flat, quiet pressing and excellent mastering from Bernie Grundman!
Edited 10 months agoExcellent pressing! Clear, defined and Rays voice sounds upfront and present, like he’s in the room with you. Glad to have this in my Christmas collection. An essential Christmas album.- Excellent pressing. Sounds great and is Flat and quiet. VMP does it again…
- This sounds superb on vinyl. Flat, clean, and wonderfully balanced in the upper frequencies.

The Song "That Spirit Of Christmas" is featured in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation film. An 1989 American Christmas classic starring Chevy Chase. On of the best and hard to find christmas songs.referencing The Spirit Of Christmas (LP, Album) 26562
This album is incredible and the sound is so rich and deep. It's wonderful its listen to all year long.
