From Wikipedia... The Dean Martin Christmas Album is a 1966  by  arranged by  and .  This was the fourth of five albums Martin released in 1966.   magazine reported in its December 3, 1966 issue that The Dean Martin Christmas Album was on top of its "Best Bets for Christmas" chart.
The release of The Dean Martin Christmas Album in October and  in November 1966 were accompanied by what Billboard described as a "merchandising avalanche" by  and their parent company .  Billboard described Martin as running the "hottest streak of his career", and said that Reprise planned to sell $4 million of his records over the Christmas sales period.  Billboard later reported that Martin had sold 850,000 albums in December 1966.


I played both sides of this vintage LP completely through on my audio-technica AT-LP60XBT turntable without issues. This LP plays very well and provides an enjoyable listening experience.  Dean Martin has a great laid back cool vibe singing these songs... making for a very Cool Yule!
