Silent Night - Phil Spector And Artists Listen Listen Editorial Reviews Amazon.com This lavish holiday set has been called the greatest rock & roll Christmas album of all time. That's an opinion that's tough to argue with when you find yourself immersed in the massive sounds painstakingly crafted by legendary producer Phil Spector. His "wall-of-sound" technique is perfectly suited to the music of the season, as he proves with layer upon layer of piano, sleigh bells, buoyant percussion, and, of course, those legendary Spectorsound harmonies. The Crystals turn their sassy interplay into sheer magic on "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town," The Ronettes stroll sweetly through numbers like "Sleigh Ride," while Darlene Love delivers a real knockout punch with her yearning version of "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)." Sure to become the soundtrack for your holidays. --David Sprague Spotlight Reviews (What's this?) Write an online review and share your thoughts with other customers. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful: The classic album , October 26, 2003 Reviewer: P D Harris "Pete the music and horse racing fan" (Leicester England)- See all my reviews This album was something of a revolution in its time, at least where Christmas music was concerned, although all that Phil Spector actually did was apply his normal production style to Christmas music. The Crystals, famous for Then he kissed me and Da doo ron ron, sing brilliant, energetic versions of Santa Claus is coming to town, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer and Parade of the wooden soldiers. The Ronettes, famous for Be my baby, are equally brilliant on Frosty the snowman, Sleigh ride and I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus. Bob B Soxx and the blue jeans, famous for Zip-a-de-doo-da, also excel on Bells of St Mary's and Here comes Santa Claus. Darlene Love, whose biggest success was as lead singer of the Crystals on He's a rebel, sings four songs here, a rare chance for her to be credited as a solo performer. Christmas (Baby please come home) is the only original song here. White Christmas includes the rarely heard verse about being in Beverley Hills. The other two, Marshmallow world and Winter wonderland, are also outstanding. The closing Silent night is just a series of spoken acknowledgements set to a backing track. Don't worry about that - the twelve songs that go before set the standard for Christmas rock albums when it was first recorded and still do, because nobody has bettered it in the forty years since.

Bagley (Sanatoga, PA USA)- See all my reviews The legendary producer Phil Spector hit his artistic peak with this yuletide classic from 1963. The arrangements found here have been copied over and over again through the years by less creative performers, but no one comes close. My favorite recordings on the album are those by the Ronettes, in particular "Sleigh Ride" which will have you going "ringalingalinga dingdongding" for days, no, make that YEARS. Ronnie's playful, almost childlike voice, lends itself better to nonsecular Christmas songs than anyone I have ever heard. If Ronnie captures the playful, innocent side of Christmas, Darlene Love with her powerful alto captures the emotional side. The original recording "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" drives home the heartbreak of being alone at Christmas, while "White Christmas" nails the longing we all have for the Christmases of our youth. The Crystals and Bob B. Soxx & his Bluejeans aren't quite as distinctive as Ronnie & Darlene (who is?). Nonetheless, their enclosed holiday recordings are all enjoyable, particularly "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" (Crystals) and "Here Comes Santa Claus (Bob B. Soxx). I've never cared much for the last track, which finds the high pitched Phil wishing everyone a Merry Christmas , while Silent Night plays in the background. But since it is the last track, it doesn't mar the excellence created by the rest of the album/CD. Just hit eject as Phil starts to talk and I guarantee you'll have a musically Merry Christmas!

Really grand...back in the 60's , September 17, 2005 Reviewer: D. Needham (Thousand Oaks, Ca United States)- See all my reviews This is one of those albums I thought I had to have in order to upgrade my Christmas collection. The Amazon editorial review says it's called the greatest rock & roll Christmas album of all time. I'm kind of partial to things that bear the title "greatest of all time" that I can own for $13.99. Now I own it and it and I just don't think it's so great. I think that maybe it was good in its day. I'm not saying the old stuff is bad. I love many old renditions of Christmas songs. And I like different renditions of the same Christmas songs. The problem here for me is that when Mariah Carey came out with her Christmas album she made this one obsolete. Now, maybe nobody else feels this way, but Mariah Carey does the best of these songs, but she does them way better. For me, this album has become unnecessary. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector , August 10, 2005 Reviewer: Robert Janes (Flat Rock,Mi USA)- See all my reviews This album remined me of being back in high school. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) A Christmas Gift for You-and you-and you-and you , December 24, 2004 Reviewer: M. Shively - See all my reviews It took me one year to find this CD after watching Darlene Love on Letterman December of 2003. I ordered one CD for my brother who has 3 girls ages 5-13 and took another CD to work. We couldn't wait until the day AFTER Thanksgiving: we cranked it up the day BEFORE Thanksgiving! THIS IS SUCH A GREAT SING-ALONG. You simply cannot have a "blue, blu-u-u-e XMAS" listening to this CD. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: An Orginial Spector Devotee , December 7, 2004 Reviewer: Philip Spivey "Liberated Theology'" (New York City, NY USA)- See all my reviews I grew up in the 50s and 60s loving Rock 'n Roll and loving Phil Spector's Rock especially. His Christmas album is a yearly treat for me. I don't play my vinyl anymore (purchased just days before President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963); I don't play my cassette tape anymore; I've graduated to disc. And this will be my 41st Christmas with the Spector gang...they're family. The greatest Christmas album to be sure. I would also put it in the league of a top-ten album of all time. The renditions and arrangements remain fresh after all these years. We hear Darlene Love and Ronnie Spector in their "glory days" with all the optimism the youth of the 60s shared before the realities of dead presidents and adulthood encroached on us. You hear Spector at his best muscially, before his productions become muddy or overwrought. Although each song on the album is a jewel, three stand out for me: Darlene's "Christmas Baby..." by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich stands out because it was written especially for this album and it is the surprise tour de force of this collection. Not only does it work with the traditional songs, but it has become Darlene Love's signature to this day when she apppears each Christmas season on the Letterman Show. My second pick is "The Bells of St. Mary's". A somewhat unconventional choice for a Chirstmas album --- because it's not a traditional Christmas song ... again, this choice works with Darlene and Bobby Sheen and Fatima James (known on the label as Bobby Sox & the Blue Jeans). It works in a spectacular way because the arrangement is inspired, the vocal lines and performances soar and the drum work (Hal Blaine, I believe) is brilliant. Listen to the final few bars and fade-out on this track ---- have you ever heard drum work like that? My third, and final, is "Silent Night". This was a discovery I made after years of ignoring this track. If you could remove Phil's silly narrative and listen soley to the music, what you would hear is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song recorded; it's silvery and transparent and yet we know that the chorus is peopled by the entire Phil Spector stable of singers (including Cher, who sang background in those days); the effect is transcendent. This album is forever fresh, forever young and forever one of my favorites. If, God forbid, I had to leave my home for fire or flood or locusts, THIS album (vinyl, cassette and disc) would be among the possessions under my arm. Was this review helpful to you?

College Gift
Covenant Bible College - Gift Acceptance Guidelines Giving to CBC | Contact Us Home The CBC Experience CBC Canada CBC Colorado CBC Ecuador Admissions Alumni Beyond CBC The Worship Center Gift Acceptance Guidelines Covenant Bible College, a not-for-profit organization organized under the laws of the State of Colorado and recognized as a charity in Canada, accepts gifts to Covenant Bible College and Covenant Bible College Foundation (hereinafter referred to as CBC) for purposes that will help CBC to further and fulfill its mission. The following policies and guidelines govern acceptance of gifts made to CBC or for the benefit of any of its programs. The mission of Covenant Bible College is to equip men and women to live as disciples of Jesus Christ. Purpose of Policies and Guidelines The Board of Directors of CBC and its staff solicit current and deferred gifts from individuals, corporations, and foundations to secure the future growth and missions of Covenant Bible College. These policies and guidelines govern the acceptance of gifts by CBC and provide guidance to prospective donors and their advisors when making gifts to CBC. The provisions of these policies shall apply to all gifts received by CBC for any of its programs or services. Use of Legal Counsel Covenant Bible College shall seek the advice of legal counsel in matters relating to acceptance of gifts when appropriate. Review by counsel is recommended for: Closely held stock transfers that are subject to restrictions or buy-sell agreements Documents naming CBC as Trustee Gifts involving contracts, such as bargain sales or other documents requiring CBC to assume an obligation Transactions with potential conflict of interest that may invoke IRS (Internal Revenue Service) or CCRA (formerly "Revenue Canada") sanctions Other instances in which the use of counsel is deemed appropriate by the Gift Acceptance Committee Conflict of Interest CBC will urge all prospective donors to seek the assistance of personal legal and financial advisors in matters relating to their gifts and the resulting tax and estate planning consequences. CBC will comply with the Model Standards of Practice for the Charitable Gift Planner promulgated by the National Committee on Planned Giving (for US gifts) and the CICA (Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants) Handbook. Restrictions on Gifts CBC will accept unrestricted gifts, and gifts for specific programs and purposes, provided that such gifts are not inconsistent with its stated mission, purposes, and priorities. CBC will not accept gifts that are too restrictive in purpose. Gifts that are too restrictive are those that violate the terms of the corporate charter, gifts that are too difficult to administer, or gifts that are for purposes outside the mission of CBC. All final decisions on the restrictive nature of a gift, and its acceptance or refusal, shall be made by the Gift Acceptance Committee of CBC. The Gift Acceptance Committee The gift acceptance committee shall consist of the members of the CBC Foundation board. Ex-officio members shall include the Executive Director of the CBC Foundation and the President of the College. The gift acceptance committee is charged with the responsibility of reviewing all gifts made to CBC, properly screening and accepting those gifts on behalf of CBC, and making recommendations to the CBC International Board on gift acceptance issues when appropriate. Types of Gifts The following gifts are acceptable: Cash Tangible personal property Securities Real Estate Remainder interests in property Oil, gas, and mineral interests Bargain sales Life insurance Charitable Gift Annuities (US-source income; through CTC) Charitable Remainder Trusts Retirement Plan Beneficiary Designations Bequests Life Insurance Beneficiary Designations The following criteria govern the acceptance of each gift form: Cash Cash is acceptable in any form. Checks shall be made payable to Covenant Bible College or Covenant Bible College Foundation or to any CBC campus. Loose change (offerings) shall be collected and recorded according to cash handling procedures. Tangible Personal Property All other gifts of tangible personal property shall be examined in light of the following criteria: Does the property fulfill the mission of CBC? Is the property marketable? Are there any undue restrictions on the use, display, or sale of the property? Are there any carrying costs for the property? The final determination on the acceptance of other tangible property gifts shall be made by the Gift Acceptance Committee of CBC. Securities CBC can accept both publicly traded securities and closely held securities. Marketable securities may be transferred to an account maintained at one or more brokerage firms or delivered physically with the transferor's signature or stock power attached. As a general rule, all marketable securities shall be sold upon receipt unless otherwise directed by the CBC International board. In some cases, marketable securities may be restricted by applicable securities laws; in such instance the final determination on the acceptance of the restricted securities shall be made by the Gift Acceptance Committee of CBC. Closely held securities, which include not only debt and equity positions in non-publicly traded companies but also interests in LLPs and LLCs or other ownership forms, can be accepted subject to the approval of the Gift Acceptance Committee of CBC. However, gifts must be reviewed prior to acceptance to determine that a) there are no restrictions on the security thatwould prevent CBC from ultimately converting those assets to cash, b) the security is marketable, and 3) the security will not generate any undesirable tax consequences for CBC. If potential problems arise on initial review of the security, further review and recommendation by an outside professional may be sought before making a final decision on acceptance of the gift. Professionals at the Covenant Trust Company and National Covenant Properties may be consulted in these matters. The final determination on the acceptance of closely held securities shall be made by the Gift Acceptance Committee of CBC and legal counsel when necessary. Every effort will be made to sell non-marketable securities as quickly as possible. Real Estate Gifts of real estate may include developed property, undeveloped property, or gifts subject to a prior life interest. Prior to acceptance of real estate, CBC shall require an initial environmental review of the property to ensure that the property has no environmental damage. In the event that the initial inspection reveals a potential problem, CBC shall retain a qualified inspection firm to conduct an environmental audit. The cost of the environmental audit shall generally be an expense of the donor. When appropriate, a title binder shall be obtained by CBC prior to the acceptance of the real property gift. The cost of this binder shall generally be an expense of the donor. Prior to acceptance of the real property, the gift shall be approved by the Gift Acceptance Committee of CBC and by CBC's legal counsel. Criteria for acceptance of property shall include: Is the property useful for the purposes of CBC? Is the property marketable? Are there any restrictions, reservations, easements, or other limitations associated with the property? Are there carrying costs, which may include insurance, property taxes, mortgages, or notes associated with the property? Does the environmental audit reflect that the property is not damaged? Remainder Interests in Property CBC will accept a remainder interest in a personal residence, farm, or vacation property subject to the provisions of the Real Estate section above. The donor or other occupants may continue to occupy the property for the duration of the stated life. Generally, the occupant would agree to pay for the utilities supplied and the maintenance of the property during the occupancy period. CBC would be responsible for insuring the property and for taxes. At the death of the donor, CBC may use the property or reduce it to cash. Oil, Gas, and Mineral Interests CBC may accept oil and gas property interests, when appropriate. Prior to acceptance of an oil and gas interest, the gift shall be approved by the Gift Acceptance Committee, and if necessary, by the Foundation's legal counsel. Criteria for acceptance of the property shall include: Gifts of surface rights should have a value of $20,000 or greater. Gifts of oil, gas, and mineral interests should generate at least $3,000 per year in royalties or other income (as determined by the average of the three years prior to the gift). The property should not have extended liabilities or other considerations that make receipt of the gift inappropriate. A working interest is rarely accepted. A working interest may only be accepted when there is a plan to minimize potential liability and tax consequences. The property should undergo an environmental review to ensure that CBC has not current or potential exposure to environmental liability. Bargain Sales CBC will enter into a bargain sale arrangement in instances in which the bargain sale furthers the mission and purposes of CBC. All bargain sales must be reviewed and recommended by the Gift Acceptance Committee and approved by the CBC International Board of Directors. Factors used in determining the appropriateness of the transaction include: CBC must obtain an appropriate independent appraisal substantiating the value of the property. If CBC assumes debt with the property, the debt ratio must be less than 50% of the appraised market value. CBC must determine that it will use the property, or that there is a market for sale of the property allowing sale within 12 months of receipt. CBC must calculate the costs to safeguard, insure, and expense the property (including property tax, if applicable) during the holding period. Life Insurance CBC must be named as both beneficiary and irrevocable owner of an insurance policy before a life insurance policy can be recorded as a gift. The gift is valued at its interpolated terminal reserve value, or cash surrender value, upon receipt. If the donor contributes future premium payments, CBC will include the entire amount of the additional premium payment(s) as a gift in the year that payment(s) is/are made. If the donor does not elect to continue to make gifts to cover premium payments on the life insurance policy, CBC may a) continue to pay the premiums, b) convert the policy to paid up insurance, or c) surrender the policy for its current cash value. Charitable Gift Annuities CBC is not licensed to offer charitable gift annuities. Donors with US-sourced income may establish gift annuities that benefit CBC through the Covenant Trust Company. Charitable Remainder Trusts CBC may accept designation as remainder beneficiary of a charitable remainder trust with the approval of the Gift Acceptance Committee. CBC will not accept appointment as Trustee of a charitable remainder trust. Under Canadian law, a charitable remainder trust is an irrevocable trust where the capital beneficiary is the charity. Canadian tax law is different than US tax law in relation to the tax treatment of gifts of a residual interest to a charity. In both countries, the donor is considered to have made a gift of the residual interest in the trust. However, a transfer of appreciated capital property to such a trust would result in a capital gain on which the settler would be taxed in Canada, whereas no tax would be payable in the US on a transfer of long-term capital gain property. The value of the property passing to the charity on the death of a US settler would be added to the taxable estate of the US settler, but a full deduction would be allowed for estate tax purposes. This no income or estate tax is payable in connection with a transfer of an appreciated long-term capital gain property to a charity for US tax purposes. Charitable Lead Trusts CBC may accept a designation as income beneficiary of a charitable lead trust. CBC will not accept an appointment as Trustee of a charitable lead trust. Retirement Plan Beneficiary Designations Donors and supporters of CBC will be encouraged to name CBC as beneficiary of their retirement plans. Such designations will not be recorded as gifts to CBC until such time as the gift is irrevocable. When the gift is irrevocable, but is not due until a future date, the present value of that gift may be recorded at the time the gift becomes irrevocable. Bequests Donors and supporters of CBC will be encouraged to make bequests to CBC through their wills and trusts. Such bequests will not be recorded as gifts to CBC until such time as the gift is irrevocable. When the gift is irrevocable, but is not due until a future date, the present value of that gift may be recorded at the time the gift becomes irrevocable. Life Insurance Beneficiary Designations Donors and supporters of CBC will be encouraged to name CBC as beneficiary or contingent beneficiary of their life insurance policies. Such designations shall not be recorded as gifts to CBC until such time as the gift is irrevocable. When the gift is irrevocable, but is not due until a future date, the present value of that gift may be recorded at the time the gift becomes irrevocable. Miscellaneous Provisions Securing appraisals and legal fees for gifts to CBC It will be the responsibility of the donor to secure an appraisal (where required) and independent legal counsel for all gifts made to CBC. Valuation of gifts for development purposes CBC will record a gift received by CBC at its valuation for gift purposes on the date of the gift. Responsibility for IRS and Filings upon sale of gift items The Gift Acceptance Committee of CBC is responsible for filing IRS Form 8282 upon the sale or disposition of any asset sold within two years of receipt by CBC when the charitable deduction value of the item is more than $5,000. CBC must file this form within 125 days of the date of sale or disposition of the asset. Acknowledgement of all gifts made to CBC and compliance with the current IRS and CCRC requirements in acknowledgement of such gifts shall be the responsibility of the Board of Directors of CBC International. © 2005, Covenant Bible College.
