excellent pressing and mastering

Posted Friday, December 17, 2021 by Joe I have a green vinyl pressing of this LP, and I think the mastering is much better on this one. More natural sounding and more balanced. Dead quiet vinyl, too. Plus, it's housed in a replica of the original cover, with tip on artwork and nice, heavy cardboard.

Will bring a smile to your face

Posted Saturday, October 16, 2021 by Doug C I've always been a fan of 'Christmas records' (as we used to call them) and found them to be an enjoyable diversion across many genres. Not many jazz artists did them however but this strikes me as one of the best all around I've heard. This 'new' discovery for me - both artist and album - is highly recommendable to both the curious and non-jazz fan alike. Since it is in a jazz format, one can get away with playing it all year round before others catch up to what you are listening to. If interested, don't hesitate. Great sound, silent pressing.

Herb Alpert - Christmas Album

Label: Herb Alpert Presents

Superb mastering; sub-par vinyl

3 Stars
Posted Wednesday, January 6, 2016 by RCG The pressing quality of this record is not as bad as my copy of Whipped Cream, which suffered a very wavy surface and hazy looking vinyl, symptoms of an overheated vinyl biscuit. Here again, we have wavy vinyl, and the slight haze. This time, the playback is mostly acceptable but still, two different titles pressed at the same plant with the same sloppy press operators? Not good.

I and anyone else buying vinyl would gladly pay an extra $2 to have RTI, QRP, Pallas, etc. press these competently. And, to get something other than the thinnest paper sleeve I've ever seen.

And this is a shame. Bernie Grundman's mastering is once again superb, allowing me to hear details in this lifelong favorite which I have never heard before. The music is a nice change, Alpert's arrangements upending the tiredold Christmas songs to create something unique. Musically, I highly recommend it. Otherwise, be prepared for disappointing pressings on this and other Herb Alpert Presents titles.

Never sounded better!

5 Stars
Posted Friday, December 25, 2009 by Anonymous I have an original 1957 pressing, a 1958 and 1963 re-issue, and one of the early Camden copies (along with a few digital CD remasters), but this is the best sounding version so far! Close to the 1957 original in sound, but more depth in the vocal than I have heard before. An A+
