Complete Christmas Collection

Complete Christmas Collection

A 22-track collection containing Doris' complete, holiday-themed recordings, plus some real rarities! Given the international success of her 2011 album My Heart, we felt 'twas the season to re-release this anthology, which draws from both the Columbia vaults and Doris' private collection. The first 12 tracks hail from her beloved 1964 release The Doris Day Christmas Album issued in its entirety here for the first time in the U.S. followed by two hard-to-find tracks she recorded with Frank DeVol in 1959 and five non-LP Columbia singles. But the next two songs are even more rare unreleased prior to this collection, in fact "Silent Night" and "Christmas Greeting from Doris" hail from her early-'50s radio show and her late-'60s CBS-TV show, respectively. The set winds up with an emotionally-charged reading of "Let No Walls Divide" taken from the all-star Christmas album We Wish You the Merriest that Columbia released in 1961 to promote stars like Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin and Andre Previn as well as Doris. The greatest Christmas "Day" ever assembled!
