Best track on "Elvis´christmas album" LP 1957
In spite of the time of the year, we move on with Elvis´first and probably most famous christmas album of the ones he recorded. This time, I remove two of the religious songs, "I believe" and "It is no secret". Mostly because they´re not that much christmas. I also prefer the other two gospels songs.
But my absolute favourite on this record is "Santa Claus is back in town", that´s kicking ass in an unbelievable way ,so no problems for me this time!
By the way, aren´t the background singing in Blue Christmas totally crazy?
Vote on!

The truth is, that I don´t own this LP. I was born in 1968, so I grew up with the international release from 1970, which have "If every day was like christmas" and "Mama liked the roses", instead of "It is no secret" and "I believe". So that´s MY "Elvis christmas album". Nice christmas feeling, something that´s sort of missing on the 1971 christmas album.

Sure, it´s a great rocker, and I really like it...But IMO it´s not a "Christmas" song...If you know what I mean.Cryogenic wrote:I prefer his CS rendition of "Blue Christmas" in 68 to the studio master.
It HAS to be "Santa Claus Is Back In Town"!
Listen to how damn SEXUAL that thing is. It's an amazing recording. It's just charged with energy at every level.
