My notes from listening. Castanets. Percussion and strings. Reverb. So big and crazy sounding. Drums sound like rain and thunder in the distance. All definition of stuff in mids is lost. Some times you just hear drums bells and vocals with a wompy bass. The drum fills at the end of the tunes are great. I like the time feel- like it’s pushing a lot of the time. As far as holiday albums go this is one of the best ones. Can I still enjoy his records knowing that Phil Spector was such a creep and a murderer? Tough one to rate…
