I have not heard this set yet, though I am familiar with all the songs. One of the best features of this set is the very last track. "This Year's Sata Baby" (yes, that is actually the name of the track) was released in 1956 as a follow up becuase of the success of "Santa Baby" the previous year. Orchestration is identical to the inital release but lyrics are different, though they do relate to the original song. An example is where Eartha laments that the yacht has sprung a leak and sings, "...now Santa Dear please hold your breath, and bring me the Queen E-liz-a-beth..."

This is about 2/5's of the Bear box set which often sells for $125.00 or more that you can get for about $15.00.
