Album Description
20 classic Christmas tracks from the 5 time Grammy Award-winning children's franchise, The Chipmunks. Includes such favorites as "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer", "Frosty The Snow Man", "Jingle Bells", and the original version of the classic hit "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)."
Album Description
Reissue of the 1962 classic Christmas with the Chipmunks! This long time favourite reached #84 in the charts. Alvin and the Chipmunks are a six-time Grammy Award-winning animated music group created by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. in 1958. The group consists of three singing animated chipmunks: Alvin, the mischievous troublemaker, who quickly became the star of the group; Simon, the tall, bespectacled intellectual; and Theodore, the chubby, impressionable sweetheart. The trio is managed by their human father and confidant, David Seville. In reality, David Seville was Bagdasarian's stage name, and the Chipmunks themselves are named after the executives of their original record label, Liberty Records: Alvin Bennett (the president), Simon Waronker (the founder and owner), and Theodore Keep (the chief engineer).

 Buyers beware November 16, 2006

As of today November 15th 2006 I have bought two copys of this only because after buying the first one last night at my local Wal-mart, I got a defect..returned it today and got a replacement with the same defect in the same spot. Track two, about 6 seconds into the song when Simon says (no pun intended) "I'll say we are" you can hear a glitch of some kind. It's great to finally have this expanded & remastered, but Capitol needs to do something about this problem. I've decided I'm gonna keep returning this CD until I get one that plays fine..look out Wal-mart, here I come yet AGAIN.
 The Chipmunks---oldies but goodies you're not sick of the second time around... October 2, 2007

Ross Bagdasarian, a.k.a. David Seville, created the great sound of The Chipmunks (Alvin, Simon and Theodore) essentially by taking the sound of a few people singing and speeding it up to sound like small animals singing. This technique works well still today; their Christmas album is a delight for the kids and inevitably nostalgic for us adults. Just one listen proves it!
The CD starts with "Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)." David Seville introduces himself and The Chipmunks who promptly go into a charming and somewhat amusing rendition of this classic Christmastime ballad. The percussion and flute add to the natural beauty of this number; and the harmonizing leaves nothing to be desired! The cute banter between Alvin the chipmunk and David Seville makes the number even cuter. Great! Next comes the remarkably famous "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)." This you've undoubtedly heard on the radio; and the sound on the CD is excellent. They harmonize well and the banter between The Chipmunks and David Seville near the end of the song resembles that of a parent and children having "a special moment."
"Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer" gives us an extra character for the voice of Rudolph; and this works well. The musical arrangement reflects good judgment and I predict that the children--and you--will like this number very, very much. "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" begins with a great harp solo even if the solo is brief; and this number shines like gold! "Frosty The Snowman" features The Chipmunks singing this children's Christmas song rather well; and the accordion sounds great on "Frosty The Snowman," too.
"Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" showcases David Seville more than The Chipmunks at the beginning; The Chipmunks then sing the second verse very well. The kids are bound to like this one! "Christmas Time (Greensleeves)" features The Chipmunks singing their best vocals to the tune of "Greensleeves." Great! "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," a tune from Meet Me In St. Louis, sparkles as David Seville puts his stamp on this beautiful song.
The CD ends fittingly with "White Christmas." This ballad, although it's actually somewhat melancholy, sounds optimistic and very beautiful as David Seville sings this with great sensitivity. The flutes and strings enhance "White Christmas," too.
The liner notes give us some great artwork; and we get the song credits.
David Seville and The Chipmunks were a huge hit in the early 1960s; and they remain a favorite of many a child even today. You just can't keep good entertainment down; and this fine CD is sure to remain in print for many years to come.

When Christmas was fun! January 12, 2007
I had this record when I was little so when I saw it out on cd I had to buy it for my kids. We loved it this holiday season. It took me way back in time and was just as much fun now as it was then. All Christmas, every time we got in the car my kids wanted to hear it. If you like Christmas, you will like this cd.
