That Merry 80s Christmas Album, various artists (Bowie Group Entertainment)

merry80s.jpgThere's a whole series of these at Best Buy for $6.99, one each for the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, but I've only seen the 70s and 80s version so far. The latter two lean heavily on middle-of-the-road artists, but I bring this one up mainly because I'd never seen Tommy Tutone's "Santa I Got Your Number," which is a holiday remake of their one hit "867-5309." nor had I encountered the Motels' version of "Santa Baby," which is at least as good as Madonna's if not better. Most of the other notable cuts have been mentioned elsewhere on the site, like Billy Squier's "Christmas is the Time to Say I Love You," the Peter Cetera/Alison Krauss "Deck the Halls," Jethro Tull's "Holly Herald" and Heart's "O Holy Night," originally released by Wilson sisters' side project Lovemongers. The rest, as mentioned earlier, is just MOR stuff. From 2006. Long out of print, but 3rd parties at Amazon have cheap copies.
