Bing's all-time classic collection of Christmas songs, on original 1945 four-78 Decca album 550. Features eight songs, including his famous version of White Christmas, and two with the Andrews Sisters:
-Silent Night/Adeste Fideles
-White Christmas/God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
-I'll be Home for Christmas/Faith of our Fathers
-Jingle Bells (w the Andrews Sisters)/Santa Claus is Comin' to Town (w the Andrews Sisters)
All four discs are in excellent condition, with minor surface scuffs but no deep scratches and plenty of the original luster. They play near perfectly and are just a delight to hear. The fourth disc, the one with the Andrews Sisters, is a copy from the earlier 5-disc issue, so is not the original record in this set. It is exactly the same music and the same master, but just says sides 9 & 10 rather than 7 & 8. It is the exact correct record except for certain details on the label. Essentially this is the full set, and this last disc is actually a rarer copy anyhow. The cover has a bit of wear on the edges, and slightly loosening binding, with a small tear on the lower spine where the cover is loosening a little, but is entirely intact and not falling apart as they sometimes are. A lovely copy.
