Liner Notes from the Original LP (uncredited):
Because Christmas is a very special occasion, the
Beach Boys
decided this should be a very special album . . . and
it is. Here
for the first time you’ll hear the Beach Boys
accompanied by a sonorous
forty-piece orchestra, with special arrangements
written just for this
album by Dick Reynolds. You’ll hear vocal
arrangements by Brian
Wilson that make it clear what an important part each
boy’s voice plays
in their wonderful blend: you’ll hear a fine
solo by Brian in
“Blue Christmas” and Al Jardine’s first recorded solo
as a Beach Boy in
“Christmas Day”.
The songs the Boys have chosen for their holiday
greetings to you range
all the way from their own light-hearted seasonal hit
“Little Saint
Nick” to beautiful traditional favorites done with the
orchestra.
Here, certainly, is an outstanding Christmas album -
one that you’ll enjoy for many seasons to come.
Produced by Brian Wilson.
