Album Review
This edition in Universal's discount-priced compilation series "20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection" is actually a re-titled reissue of the 1999 collection "The Very Best of Bing Crosby Christmas", itself a single-disc distillation of the two-CD set "The Voice of Christmas/The Complete Decca Christmas Songbook". It is an excellent 18-track album sampling Crosby's holiday-related recordings made between 1942 and 1956, ranging from religious efforts like "Silent Night" to a medley of traditional carols ("Deck The Halls," "Away In A Manger," and "I Saw Three Ships"); World War II-era seasonal standards such as "I'Ll Be Home For Christmas"; and, finally, a restored version of the original 1942 recording of "White Christmas." (The song was so popular that Crosby had to re-record it in 1947 because the first master recording was wearing out; ironically, it's the later version, more commonly used since then, that is better known.) There are plenty of Christmas compilations by Crosby, who remains best remembered for his holiday recordings; this is the best single-disc one, released at an attractive price. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
