Porgy and Bess 1939 thru now?   Was there a time break between the gold 
cover Brunswick Show Boat and the blue cover Columbia C-55?  Of course 
in the case of P&B and Oklahoma there were extra tracks in Vols 2 that 
were added later to the LPs.  Is all of P&B Vol 3 on the CD?

>> Discussion of Bing's "White Christmas" and his MERRY CHRISTMAS album led me to wonder if anyone knows of an album that has been continuously in print longer than that one, allowing for format changes (78 rpm set to 10-inch LP to 12-inch LP to compact disc, with side trips to EP, open reel, 8-track, and cassette) from 1945 to the present. It's still in print today as it was released on 12-inch, albeit with the album title changed to WHITE CHRISTMAS at some point in the last few years. Same track line-up, though, and same painting of Bing in a Santa Claus cap on the cover.
