As a long time fan of Mannheim Steamroller since Fresh Aire appeared in my neighbohood Jax Camera & Electronics Store down the street in 1974, I have collected EVERYTHING Chip Davis and Mannheim Steamroller releases.  But, this particular album will always be the best Steamroller recording ever.  As outstanding as the first Christmas album is, this album has affected Mannheim Steamroller's sound afterward in so many ways since its release.  When you listen to a recording like this for the first time, it seems like all of the Christmas spirit went into making it.  There is so much hard work involved here it is truly amazing Davis was able to fit Fresh Aire VI & 7 around this project and still win a Grammy for FA 7!
