Now! The Christmas AlbumThe MagnetsDescription: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION International products have separate terms are sold from abroad and may differ from local products including fit age ratings and language of product labeling or instructions. AMAZON Tis the season to be jolly and what better to kick of the proceedings than Slade and Wizzard with those perennial seasonal favourites Merry Xmas Everybody and I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday. The Now Christmas collection stands head and shoulders above the field of festive compilations as it actually has a lot of unusual tracks--the titles may be familiar but the artists doing them are all quite unexpected. Hence you get Kylie purring her way through Santa Baby the Spice Girls indulging in some Christmas Wrapping before taking you on a Sleigh Ride Samantha Mumba telling us All I Want For Christmas Billie Piper casting her eye back to Last Christmas and Ronan Keating teaming up with Maire Brennan for a Fairytale Of New York. These tracks work to varying degrees but there are plenty more traditional originals on offer to sate the most hearty of holiday appetites--from Bing Crosby crooning his way through White Christmas to Aled Jones taking his Snowman by the hand while they go Walking In The Air. No Christmas compilation should be without Cliff Richard and sure enough he puts in an appearance with Mistletoe And Wine and The Millennium Prayer. A worthy addition to the Now stables and a thoroughbred through and through. --Helen Marquis
