Album Description:
The original high school musical via cartoon land! One of the most important and successful garage bands of all time - the Archies return for the Christmas season with Betty & Veronica, front and center on vocals. Founded by Archie Andrews, Reggie Mantle & Jughead Jones, the music they recorded became a significant part of the Pop genre. Now ready to reclaim their position in the Pop music pantheon, The Archies Christmas Party combines the best of their trademark sound with the radio sensibilities of 2008. As Archie Comics prepares for its biggest year in 2009, The Archies Christmas Party marks the return and beginning of a new chapter in the career of the Riverdale 5. Unlike today's Pop stars who all seem to grow up too fast, The Archies remain the perennial American High School band!

Rating:  - better than I thought
I really love this Archie CD. It has great music and great music. However I wish that the CD was longer or had more songs. I'm really glad I got it. However some people think I am too old for it. They also think I am too old for Archie Comics. But I don't care what they think.
Rating: - Archie's here, Betty's here, Veronica too -- and even Little Ricky!
Ron Dante, the original singing voice behind "Sugar, Sugar" and all the other Archies megahits, performs on multiple tracks as if the last four decades never happened -- with Danielle van Zyl and Kelly-Lynn singing for Betty and Veronica (the great Toni Wine, who sang for them on many of the original records, is touring with Tony Orlando and she'll most likely be at Epcot this May when Tony returns).
In addition to all-time holiday pop hits like "Jingle Bell Rock" and the Springsteen-style "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," there are two new songs: "Archie's Christmas Party" and "Christmas in Riverdale." And sitting in for Jughead on drums for this album is none other than Keith Thibodeaux, who played Little Ricky on I Love Lucy!
Rating: - Wonderful Album, and Fantastic Gift: For Young and Old... THE ARCHIES ARE BACK! And, Veronica ROCKS! :)
So Good To Hear The New Archies Christmas Album! BRAVO, to Ron Dante, For Assembling Such Talented Artists For This Project... I Love "Here Comes Santa Claus," and "Merry Little Christmas!" Kelly-Lynn, As Veronica, Is Truly Wonderful... It's Fantastic, How This Holiday Album Incorporates New Talent To Bring The Archies To A New Generation.... This Is The BEST Archies Music I've Heard, Since "Sugar Sugar!" Rock On, Archies! :) Mark H.
Rating: - I've Always Been an Archies Fan
As a younger person I loved Archie comics, and when the music started coming out I couldn't help but listen. I eagerly awaited each new album.
I believe there were only five of them. At least, that was all I found. So, when I learned of this NEW album of Christmas music, I had to have it. I am not disappointed with my purchase. This album has female lead vocals by Betty and Veronica. The songs of yesteryear were all sung by Archie. I'm glad Archie finally gave them a chance to shine, because that's exactly what they do. They have incredible voices. If you love the Archies, and you love Christmas songs, this CD is a must have.
Rating: - Everything Will Be Coming Up Archie
I have actually spoken to Ron Dante directly and he says if the sales from this CD are good, he is negotiating to have all the old Archie albums released next year on CD. Ron is very talented and any project he has his hands on will be a good one. The vocals and style may seem different on this CD but the music is happy and right now we could all use a CD of happy tunes to take our minds off of all things going on around us. We may not have control over what is going on right now, but you can buy this CD and escape to a happier place.
