Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song

Nat King Cole – The Christmas Song (Red Vinyl Reissue)

Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song is one of the defining recordings of the festive season. First recorded in 1946 and re-recorded in 1961, Cole’s warm, unmistakable vocal brings a timeless elegance to the song, accompanied by a beautifully understated orchestral arrangement. Written by Mel Tormé and Bob Wells, it has become one of the most enduring Christmas standards.

This red-vinyl reissue brings together the smooth traditional pop, jazz and orchestral sounds that made Cole’s Christmas recordings so beloved. A seasonal essential, whether you’re rediscovering a familiar favourite or adding a little festive warmth to the record collection.

The album features Cole alongside orchestral and choral arrangements conducted by Ralph Carmichael, with production by Lee Gillette. Alongside the title track, highlights include the gentle swing of “Caroling, Caroling”, “O Holy Night”, “A Cradle in Bethlehem” and “Silent Night”.

Pressed on striking red vinyl, this reissue makes a handsome festive addition to any collection, while the music itself remains the real attraction: sophisticated, warm and unmistakably Nat King Cole
