I am getting senile, as I could not locate the official thread for review of 1978 LP Christmas Portrait.
In any event, here is a portion of a (cynical) review from
UK's Record Mirror, December 22, 1978:
"They know what Christmas Is about and they've seen enough of them tinselly Hollywood films to know where
and when to stick a choir In and pull a bell out and vice -versa, and verse- vica."
---
"They've synthesized everything ever to come out of Sunset Boulevard at yuletide into two sides of a perfect piece of plastic."
---
"...but, as you can imagine, a vacuum cleaner does little to improve this. If you want to get into the Christmas spirit,
and I don't mean Johnny Walker, buy this record for instant atmosphere and have yourself a merry little Christmas."
