Album Notes Compilation producers: Frank Collura, Charles Pignome. Includes liner notes by James Ritz. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Sure, Bing Crosby might pop more quickly to mind when thinking of Christmas songs, but Frank, Dean, and Sammy had their share of Yuletide ditties as well, a fact effectively borne out by the holiday collection CHRISTMAS WITH THE RAT PACK. If you're sick of the usual pap that passes for Christmas music from all corners of the stylistic map, try something from the swingin' side of town. Really now, wouldn't you rather hear such chestnuts (pun intended) as "Silver Bells," "The Christmas Song," and "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" from the likes of these cats than some contemporary prefab pop or country cardboard cutout? Those aren't sleighbells you hear in the background, they're ice cubes clinking in a martini glass.
