Title: 2 Beach Boys Tracks on "A Capitol Christmas Volume Two"
Post by: HeyJude on November 28, 2017, 06:48:16 AM
Nothing Earth-shattering, but a new Capitol compilation features two tracks from the '64 XMas album. Interestingly, they are "Frosty the Snowman" and "Christmas Day."

Considering this is a second volume, and that it *doesn't* include "Little Saint Nick", I figured that track had to be on Vol. 1, but there aren't any BB tracks on that first volume.

Pretty cool to see some love for Christmas Day.   That's probably my favorite of the five originals on the Xmas album.  Other than the single version of Little Saint Nick, Christmas Day is the most Christmasey sounding song of the originals to me.
