ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS gathers together most of the Christmas material recorded by the group, including 1964's BEACH BOYS' CHRISTMAS ALBUM, selected tracks from a never-released second Christmas album completed in 1977 and some charming oddities (public service announcements, interviews, Christmas messages to their fans). Brian Wilson and his compatriots never approached their work halfheartedly (as least not until much later in their career), so their seasonal recordings were no money-making knock-off. Most of the tracks here are original compositions that combine Wilson's surf-and-sun-drenched musical mindset with a Yuletide flavor in a manner that will be agreeable to anyone enamored of the Beach Boys' early work. Thoughtful, informative liner notes add to the appeal of this album.
