15 Christmas Classics by 80s Stars on Vinyl LP! Features Wham!, Whitney Houston, The Bangles, Run-D.M.C., The Pointer Sisters, Billy Squier & Many More!
Collection of 1980s Christmas songs from various artists including Wham!, The Bangles, Hall & Oates, Whitney Houston, The Pointer Sisters, New Kids On the Block, Ray Parker, Jr. and more!
"This Yuletide set from Sony/Legacy delivers 15 holiday cuts from the original neon decade. The selection features a mix of '80s star power and second-tier acts with artists like Whitney Houston ('Do You Hear What I Hear?') and Wham! ('Last Christmas') representing the former and the Waitresses ('Christmas Wrapping') and Fishbone ('Slick Nick, You Devil You') the latter. Three decades on, tracks like New Kids on the Block's schlocky 'This One's for the Children' are best left on the shelf and the Bangles' cover of Simon & Garfunkel's 'Hazy Shade of Winter,' while nicely done, isn't really a Christmas song. Overall, though, songs like Bob and Doug McKenzie's goofy 'Twelve Days of Christmas' and Run-D.M.C.'s 'Christmas in Hollis' are still entertaining enough to repackage for another generation." - Timothy Monger, allmusic.com
