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

[Bud Black]

For years I've been trying to find "All Around The Christmas Tree," by Dick
Todd backed by Mark Warnow's orchestra.  I believe it was on the Sonora
label.  I would gladly settle for an mp3 file of this recording.

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
