Booklet Notes by S Leigh

This was the the last of my 'Ultimate' series of releases, and what problems it had!
Throughout my entire period in the Music Department at RD, the only Christmas Collection that was played during the period was 'Merry Christmas Everybody', a set that irritated me enormously. It wasn't that it was a 'bad' collection, it's just that I found the running order irksome. I'd just be getting used to the standard Xmas pop songs when a 'jarring' Connie Francis, or Jake Thackrey song would interrupt procedings to bring any party atmosphere to an absolute standstill. So from day one, I pushed for new 'pop' Christmas collection to be created.
At first, it was considered too close to MCE to release another Christmas set. Then It was too close to other 'easy listening' christmas sets to be considered. Then a test was done in a summer round of research, which obviously failed to gain much interest. Eventually, I managed to get a Christmas concept into research that proved popular with the 'youth market' that was being targeted at the time (under 45s???). It was titled 'Christmas Presents...' and was intended to be a bargain priced, 4CD set.
Then it was suggested that I should include a CD of 'traditional hymns' so that it would appeal to the traditional RD customer (we could add lyrics to make it a 'sing-a-long' set???). Then a request to add another CD to 'make it more profitable' with the additional request that it included classical pieces to balance out the choral recordings that sat awkwardly among the pop tunes.
This was not what I had in mind originally, but acquiesced anyway. Finally, just as recordings for the set were being cleared, I left RD and the design and running order was left to someone who had only just started in the department.
So I never got to produce my ideal Christmas Collection for RD. The boring design, and strange running order only added to the poor sales of the collection, and along with the mess that was made of the printed track listing on disc 4 (due to no-one being able to work the database correctly) and the wrong recordings being used ('Christmas Wrapping' and others), it made one of my last releases for RD, arguably, the worst. I still think it's better than MCE though!
