Description
Beautiful copy of the rare 1945 4-disc version of Bing's Merry Christmas 78 album on Decca A-550. Features the original and by far the best version of White Christmas—before it was finally re-recorded a couple of years later, the newer version being on all subsequent issues of this album—as well as some wonderful songs with the Andrews Sisters. Most people have heard it, but when you hear the original 78s it is like hearing it for the first time. The sound is just wonderful on this original version of the record, and this copy really brings it out. All four discs are quite lovely and play just beautifully. I would call them all EX, with only the tiniest bit of very light superficial scuffing. Each one plays perfectly. Just a beautiful sounding set all around. The cover is also in exceptionally nice shape, with intact binding and fully readable spine with no tears. Some of the usual edge and corner wear but not bad at all. This is a truly beautiful copy. Hard to beat.
The songs are:
Silent Night, Holy Night
Adeste Fideles
White Christmas
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
I'll Be Home for Christmas
Faith of Our Fathers
With the Andrews Sisters:
Jingle Bells
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Merry Christmas!
