Beautiful recording. The best selling Christmas album of all time. Originally issued in 1945 as a box set of 10" Lps. This is the first 12" Decca pressing made in 1955 with black and silver labels. Pressed in Decca's plant in Gloversville, NY. These editions are rarer than hen's teeth now, especially ones that still play well.
