Anmerkung

Notes

Capitol tried to mimick Granz' bald career management by releasing a second Christmas release (after Verve's "Wishes You a Swinging Christmas"). This is also Fitzgerald second release for them. Pretty much same recipe, same negative gut reaction at sight, and same conclusion (though with a switch of style at that time in her career): it's still Ella. But wait, it's still Christmas songs!

Note it has since been bundled together in one disc with another Capitol felony (Brighten the Corner).
There is some doubts whether the original ST 2805 had all the tracks and in what order. If you own it, please update the infos! Just like the other, no details are available about the names of the orchestra and choir.

According to the Discogs release just added, ST 2805 did have all of the tracks, and in the same order as represented here.
