(C) 2003 Motown Records, a Division of UMG Recordings, Inc.   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info Producer: Harvey Fuqua. Compilation producers: Harvey Weinger, Andrew Skurow. Recorded in 1965. Originally released as MERRY CHRISTMAS on Motown (638). 20th Century Masters - The Christmas Collection reissues all but one song from the recordings for the Supremes' 1965 holiday record, Merry Christmas, the group's only contribution to the seasonal market. Though none of these tracks were recorded at Motown's studios (only the vocals were), Merry Christmas was one of the label's best Christmas records; Diana Ross' charming innocence brought across the novelties ("Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Twinkle Twinkle Little Me") as well as the sacred tunes ("Born of Mary," "Children's Christmas Song"), and the harmony backing of Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard made the Supremes' version of "White Christmas" the best ever by a rock group. The four bonus tracks bring together Christmas songs from several Motown compilations (Christmas in the City, Never Before Released Masters) as well as the previously unreleased "Noel." ~ John Bush Musical Guests Florence Ballard   Compilation Appearances Vol. 1-Motown Singles Collection (1959-1971) Vol. 2-Motown Singles Collection (1972-1992) Vol. 3-Oldies But Goodies Vol. 8-Oldies But Goodies Pippin Forrest Gump-Special Collector's Edition (Bonus Tracks) Now & Then Best Of The 60's Best Of 60's WCBS 25th Anniversary 2 Best of 60's Rolling Stone Women In Rock Vol. 2-Old Town Records Vol. 4-Old Town Records Vol. 1-Old Town Records Best Of The 60's-Millennium Co 1960's Americas Top 10 Motown Christmas - Vol. 2 Vol. 1-Best Of Motown 1970s Vol. 2-Best Of Motown 1970s Millennium Collection Vol. 2-Best Of Motown 1960s Vol. 1-Best Of Motown 1960s Soul Spectacular!
