Elvis Sings the Wonderful World of Christmas is the King of Rock & Roll giving it the old ho-ho-ho for his fans, circa 1971. As can be expected of later Elvis, he's at his best when he slows down and lets the profound nuance of his voice wrap itself around the material. "The First Noel," "Silver Bells," "Blue Christmas," and "It Won't Seem Like Christmas (Without You)" are among the highlights. At 12 tracks, it's also more generous than many of the repackages where albums were trimmed to eight or nine songs. --Rob O'Connor

Customer Reviews

Very good, but...
While the music contained on this album is indeed great, you should be aware that the 1993 compilation IF EVERY DAY WAS LIKE CHRISTMAS contains everything here PLUS everything from his 1957 Christmas album. Unless you really don't care for the earlier stuff (and how can you not?), that CD is the definitive Elvis Christmas collection.

Elvis' Winter Wonderland
First released as a LP in 1971 which achieved a 2x platinum status, this album is a true classic. The songs on the CD are the same as those on the LP, but, of course, in a much better soundquality. This CD features some of the greatest Christmas songs sung by Elvis, e.g. "Oh Come,All Ye Faithful", "The First Noel" (very emotional sung),a very swinging version of "Winter Wonderland" and a beautiful version of "It Won't Seem Like Christmas (Without You)". The booklet contains the songtext of all the songs that are included and an unusual cover, featuring no photo of Elvis (Except for Santa and the snowman which has a picture of Elvis as a face), which was quite common for Elvis releases. All together, this is a great release for all those non-Elvisfans wanting a Christmasalbum from The King. For Elvisfans and all those people who can't get enough of Elvis singing Christmassongs I recommend the collector's edition of "If Every Day Was Like Christmas" (See my review there).

Brings back memories
My parents played this ALBUM when I was a young child in the 70's. It is wonderful and reminds me of Christmas' past
