 The holiday adjunct of EMI's excellent "Legends
Of Rock 'n' Roll" series, Legends
Of Christmas Past (1992) is a stocking stuffed with goodies
for collectors - several of which are pretty damn rare.
Subtitled "A Rock 'n' R&B Holiday Collection,"
that describes it about as well I could - twenty tracks,
almost all of them arguably "essential," stretching
from 1949 (Amos Milburn's amiable "Let's Make Christmas
Merry Baby") to 1968 (an improbable collaboration
between Canned Heat and the Chipmunks).
