Leer másAs a collection of the Beach Boys` Christmas tunes, Ultimate Christmas manages to round up virtually every song the band recorded and released on the subject. In 2004, Capitol took it out of print and replaced it with Christmas with the Beach Boys, essentially the same compilation with different cover art and one song ("Christmas Time Is Here Again") removed from the track list. Tracks 14-15 and 17-26 were previously unreleased.
