Merry Chritmas (Deluxe Anniversary Edition) [Vinyl LP]

A couple of missteps aside, Mariah Carey's co-penned "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is a well-crafted Phil Spector tribute, with Beach Boys-style harmonies, jangling bells, and sleigh-ride pace, injecting one of the few bits of exuberant fun in this Christmas album. [A 2015 LP re-release added a bonus track in "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen."] ~ Roch Parisien
