The 4 Seasons Greetings is the second studio album by The Four Seasons. It was released in 1962 on Vee-Jay Records as a monophonic recording and later again the same year in stereo.[1] The album charted for 6 weeks on Billboards Best Bets For Christmas album chart peaking at #28 on December 18, 1965.[2]
Side one features traditional carols, while the second side contains their contemporary, rock and pop flourishes. Lead singer Frankie Valli recalled in 2023 that the album was recorded within the span of one evening and finished up the next morning, before the band was set to appear at the Apollo Theater with the Ike & Tina Turner Revue.[3] The album was initially reissued in 1966 on Philips Records with a new title, The 4 Seasons' Christmas Album, and different cover artwork, and again, on Curb Records in 2002.[4]
