TL-The Treasury Of Christmas (1987)

The 1987 original Time-Life Treasury of Christmas combines both volumes of the series into a two-CD set. Christmas Spirit features someof the season's
liveliest pop hits, such as Perry Como's "Home for the Holidays," Ella Fitzgerald's "Jingle Bells," and Julie Andrews' "Joy to the World," as well as mellower songs like Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" and Andy Williams' "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Meanwhile, Christmas Memories gathers more nostalgic Christmas favorites, including Gene Autry's "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," Johnny Mathis' "Sleigh Ride," Elvis Presley's "I'll Be Home for Christmas," and Guy Lombardo's "Auld Lang Syne." Comforting and traditional, The Time Life Treasury of Christmas is a worthwhile collection of some of Christmas' biggest hits.
With more than 1 million sold the Treasuries are holiday bestsellers year after year.These 45 selections are the best-known, best-loved Christmas recordings ever made – classics by top country and pop stars.
On a personal note , I ordered this set from Time-Life over the Television and I was amazed at all the great songs and original artists who sang them. This set to me is a truly classic collection. And without any doubt my absolute favorite Christmas CDs I own.
