A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector (originally released as A Christmas Gift for You from Philles Records) is an album of Christmas songs, produced by Phil Spector, and originally released as Philles 45 in 1963. Spector treated a series of mostly secular Christmas standards to his "Wall of Sound" treatment, and the selections feature the vocal performances of Spector's regular artists during this period.

Phil Spector is known for a great many things but he is not known as an album artist. Yes, there is the great ‘70s exception: during the golden age of the album, he produced George Harrison, John Lennon, Leonard Cohen, and the Ramones - but he received these gigs on the strength of his early-‘60s productions, his jewel-like hits for the Crystals, the Ronettes, and the Righteous Brothers, among others. Repetition makes The Philles Album Collection a tedious listen as a box set, but the real disappointment is the realization how Spector poured all of his efforts into the singles and then tossed off everything else; they shine brighter as songs and records than everything else here, so no wonder they were repurposed over and over again.

Phil isn't all that different than people were around the time of the Louisiana Purchase. It's going to be tough to get the rest of the country on the right path. Phil isn't all that different than people were around the time of the Louisiana Purchase.
