2 Days of Xmas: The Beach Boys - "The Beach Boys Christmas Album" (1964)

The Beach Boys - "The Beach Boys' Christmas Album" (1964) - Capitol Records

Hello Friends,

Surf's up tonight at the Christmas party tiki bar and we got another classic on the ol' Holiday turntable!

"Oh... I hope its the 'Get A Life' DVD box set!'
(Gil Elvgren)

Clocking in at just 27 minutes, The Beach Boys Christmas Album is must for every holiday record listening party!  Along with Elvis's & Phil Spector's, its one of the few bona fide rock & roll Christmas LPs.

Side One contains five (!) original tunes which have now pretty much become holiday standards: "Little Saint Nick", "The Man With All The Toys", "Santa's Beard", "Merry Christmas, Baby" & "Christmas Day."  The rest of the album is rounded out with more traditional standards with the familiar Beach Boys harmonies and Brian Wilson arrangements!



FUN FACT: Hey Kids, the song "Christmas Day" is the first Beach Boys song to feature founding member, Al Jardine on lead vocals!

RATING:  5 Auld Lang Synes out of 5
