Inner-sleeve is original (United Artists ads); seams partially split. Spine is easy-to-read with mild-wear. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge with split near center of bottom-edge. Some wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use. 1966 pressing with black label. (Not a cut-out.)
We Wish You a Merry Christmas marks a milestone in the fabulously successful careers of the brilliant instrumentalists Ferrante and Teicher. It is their very first Yuletide collection and was recorded by popular demand since scores upon scores of devoted fans have long been requesting holiday songs. This album contains a complete program of Christmas repertoire, and has been artfully selected. It is imaginatively offered by a huge, soaring, string-filled orchestra lending dazzling support to the magic of our wizards of the keyboards. It is sometimes joyous, sometimes reverent, sometimes nostalgic. It is always appealing; the artists sincerely bestow upon you, the listener, their blessings for the happiest and most prosperous of holidays. According to a review on allmusic.com, "This is a perfect set for holiday gatherings."
