But missing is the soundtrack duet version from "Holiday Inn", right?

Of course - that wasn't recorded for Decca, but for Paramount Studios - the
soundtrack version, from an original studio 78 disc, is on a CD I worked on,
"Holiday Inn/Blue Skies" on Vintage Jazz Classics.  We had a nearly complete
set of Paramount discs for both Crosby/Astaire films that were newly
transferred for this 1993 CD. It's out of print, but copies are available at
Amazon starting at $3.40.  Well worthwhile.
