Análisis (en inglés) - :
This three-disc set gathers the various instrumental and vocal sessions used in creating the {@Capitol Records} seasonal release, {^The Beach Boys' Christmas Album}. Unfortunately, due do its content, many {$Beach Boys} fans consider this to be somewhat of a throwaway collection. However, over the course of these {^Christmas Sessions} the sheer brilliance of {$Brian Wilson}'s vocal and instrumental arrangements proves otherwise. The first two volumes include instrumental and vocal sessions for a majority of the 13 tracks recorded for {^The Beach Boys' Christmas Album}. Only alternate stereo mixes of {&"Little Saint Nick,"} {&"Frosty The Snowman,"} {&"The Lord's Prayer,"} and {&"I'll Be Home For Christmas"} are offered on this set. On the plus side, however, are several vocal takes of a rare version of {&"Little Saint Nick"} as sung to another familiar {$Beach Boys} tune, {&"Drive-In."} {$Wilson}'s concept for the album consists of two sections: a side of traditional standards and a side of modern (circa '64) rock originals. This approach, while revolutionary, was motivated by {$Wilson}'s desire to work with childhood idol {$Dick Reynolds}. In fact, it was {$Reynolds} vocal arrangements for the {$Four Freshman} that would inspire the development of {$Beach Boys} complex vocal harmonies. The third disc of {^Christmas Sessions} gathers final takes of every cut, and, with the appropriate sequencing, it creates a completely new version of {^The Beach Boys' Christmas Album} that is in some ways better than the original. The alternate mixes give the vocals a chance to shine. {$Beach Boys} fans will also get a kick out of the constant stream of banter between the boys which vacillates wildly between something approximating a {$Marx Brothers} skit to a full-blown bicker and bitch session -- like only families can do. ~ Lindsay Planer, All Music Guide
