About The Record:

Rockin' Christmas, released in 1984 by Rhino Records as a Good Guys special collector's edition, is a compilation of vintage Christmas songs from the 1950s and 1960s, showcasing a vibrant mix of rock 'n' roll, doo-wop, and rockabilly styles. This album, split into two sides dedicated to each decade, features rare and idiosyncratic tracks that capture the eclectic energy of early rock music, including rhythm and blues and novelty records. Historically significant as one of the first reissues of vintage Christmas music, it played a pivotal role in sparking interest in holiday rock 'n' roll and influenced subsequent Rhino compilations. A notable hit single from the album is Bobby Helms' Jingle Bell Rock (1957), a chart-topping classic that remains a holiday staple, certified Gold by the RIAA with over 780,000 digital downloads. Other standout tracks include The Moonglows' Hey Santa Claus and Three Aces & A Joker's Sleigh Bell Rock, though they did not achieve the same commercial
