- It's A Shame-The Spinners (Recorded before the band's change in lead singers, this hit is just as strong as the band's later ones. "I'll Be Around," "Games People Play," "Then Came You," and "The Rubberband Man" are among the band's best work. It's no wonder that when they were on "Saturday Night Live" in the early '80s, Bill Murray introduced them as "here to sing some of the best music ever made.")
- Don't Know What It Means-PussNBoots (It's interesting hearing Norah Jones sing in a rockabilly style.)
- Martha's Prize-Cedar Walton (Fine straight ahead piano jazz. "Warm To The Touch" is another standout of Walton's but with powerful vocals.)
- Sleigh Ride-The Ronettes (A fun arrangement of "Sleigh Ride," with memorable backup singing.)
- Franz Joseph Haydn: Christmas Symphony in D minor (London Festival Orchestra/Russ Pople, conductor) (Conveys the grandeur and happiness of Christmas, particularly through one waltzing movement, appropriately.)
- Ludwig van Beethoven: String Quartet in C major, Op. 59, No. 3 (Arianna String Quartet) (An appealingly warm reading from this St. Louis-based ensemble.)
