[78-L] Correction - First take of White Christmas

[Bud Black]

It's on a Universal DVD and proclaims on the front "3 Discs - New Color
Version," the three discs being the colorized version, disc two is the
original black and white, and the third disc is the music CD.  No indication
of a take number, but the recording is definitely the 1942 version. The
number on the package is 61102370.  I purchased this item at Wal-Mart for
$19.95.

Disc 1 - track 5 - original 1942 take B
Track 11 - 1947
Disc 2 - track 19 - 1954 film
Track 21 - 1942 rejected take A - rejected due to a fluff in Bing's vocal
near the end.

Since you apparently have it, can you tell us which tracks are which?
Amazon has clips but only the titles.  Disc one tracks 5 and 11, Disc
two tracks 19 (which is obviously the later one with Danny and Rosie)
and 21.  I usually can tell the 42 and 47 apart from the way it begins,
but these clips are internal at the same point, and there are subtle
differences in the way he phrases "and children listen" that could
identify 1942 A and B if we knew which was which.

C'mon, tell us the company and numbers.  Any indication of take A or B?
