Description
The Andy Williams Christmas Album 1963 vinyl LP Stereo Columbia Great Condition!. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail or Priority Mail, buyer’s choice! This album is a duplicate from my personal collection. I inherited the one that belonged to my parents and for sentimental reasons kept that one. This once from my personal collection has fewer plays and is in great condition- sold as is but I played it through perfectly on my record player and it had no skips or marked scratches beyond normal handling “wear and tear”. A true classic and it does not sound nearly a good digitally remastered as the vinyl record album does... brings the nostalgia back to my heart of Christmases past....
ABOUT THE RECORD
The Andy Williams Christmas Album is the first Christmas holiday album released by singer Andy Williams. A number-one smash on the Billboard charts, and it would prove to be the first of eight Christmas albums released by Williams. Though it was also the album that introduced Williams' perennial holiday classic It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Columbia instead opted to release Williams' cover of White Christmas as the album's promotional single at the time. A front-page story in Billboard magazine on Nov. 23, 1963, made clear the album was already destined to be a big hit, reporting: "Though the majority of retailers around the country that were contacted reported that Christmas product sales were just starting, they have already singled out the new Andy Williams Christmas Album as the probably No. 1 LP for the next two months; at least of those albums thus far on the market. It is already registering heavy sales, as is his single White Christmas." From 1963 to 1973, Billboard published special weekly Christmas Albums and Christmas Singles sales charts. For all five weeks that these special charts were published in 1963 (for the weeks ending November 30, 1963 through December 28, 1963), The Andy Williams Christmas Album was the number one selling Christmas album, while Williams' cover of White Christmas was the number one selling Christmas single. The Andy Williams Christmas Album spent three weeks as the number one selling Christmas album during the holiday season of 1964, and one week as the number one selling Christmas album during the holiday season of 1965. It charted on Billboard's Christmas Albums chart at least one week for each of the years that the chart was published. By December 14, 1964, The Andy Williams Christmas Album had been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales of 500,000 copies in the United States. Platinum certification in the United States was awarded on November 21, 1986.
