[78-L] Favorite out-of-print Xmas music?

Since it's the season, I was wondering if others on here have favorite Xmas tunes that fall into the hard-to-find or out-of-print categories.
 
Much (probably most) of the really extraordinary recordings of Xmas music have found their way to digital formats and are available on CDs. However, there's one 33 rpm LP I have that's never been digitized (as far as I can tell) which has some truly remarkable analog recordings on it from the WW II era including "O Holy Night" by Robert Merrill (an earlier and better recording of this carol than the version you can now find on CD by Merrill); "Isn't It A Shame That Christmas Comes But Once A Year" by Jimmy Durante; and "Il Est Ne, Le Divin Enfant" by Edith Piaf.
 
I think the title to the LP is something like "Christmas Greetings from Hollywood" for those interested in tracking it down elsewhere (I'm moving now and it's packed somewhere or I'd have it handy).
 
Thanks for your feedback and Merry Christmas to All!
 
Tom
