A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra Reviews:
Bad sound by Bob Norberg strikes again 
2009-12-01 - Frank Sinatra's recordings on Capitol represent the pinnacle of American popular song. So why can't the label release the man's work as it was intended to be heard? So far Sinatra's Capitol albums have gone through two "complete" remasters - in 1987 by Larry Walsh and in 1999-2000 by Bob Norberg. The Walsh issues have their problems (Larry himself acknowledges that (a) he was given the wrong tapes to work with for most of the albums; and (b) he misinterpreted some of the reverb instructions on the tape boxes), but they are still far superior to the dead-sounding Norberg series (marketed as "Entertainer of the Century" and in the dark "Concepts" boxset).
Confusing things even further, Capitol has reprinted liner notes crediting Walsh on some of the discs that were actually mastered by Norberg, including this reissue of A Jolly Christmas. They've also changed the cover from the original so you think you're getting something "new" or "different." Sorry, but I can sacrifice hearing a 30-second Public Service Announcement in order to avoid the awful sound of a Norberg Sinatra disc.
There is good news however: The Norberg versions have never been sold in the United Kingdom, so if you know what to look for you can find some Frank that sounds reasonably good on CD. The Walsh version of A Jolly Christmas is available on two different UK CDs, both entitled "The Christmas Album". One has a white cover with a large picture of Frank wearing a fedora looking off to the side; the other has Frank looking at you with a blue snowflake background. I've seen them both new and used from US and UK Amazon, so grab one and have yourself a merry little Christmas now!
It's Frank for Christmas 
2009-08-04 - Typically, I hate Christmas music. However, I adore Frank, so when I found this, I had to give it a try. I love it! I actually play it outside the Christmas season just to hear Frank's smooth sound.
The Legend And The Holiday Songs
2009-02-25 - There is no doubt that Frank Sinatra is a legend. Every selection in his recording of "A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra" recorded in a solemn and traditional way, makes you feel the real Christmas spirit. This is the first time I ever owned this CD, but I've heard the songs from an old record many times before. This CD is a classic and definitely my favorite of all Christmas songs ever recorded.
My favorite
2009-01-20 - This is my favorite Christmas cd- a classic must. I especially love Frank's version of "The Christmas Waltz". I am so happy with my album.
old time frank 
2008-01-02 - pretty good classic stuff. the easter seals appeal at the end is a little dated and corny, but overall a good listen
