[78-L] Bing's WHITE XMAS

[Randy Watts]

Didn't even think about OKLAHOMA!

Not sure that the 1932 SHOW BOAT qualifies as being in print continuously. Couldn't find it in Columbia's 1952-53 catalog or in the 1949 list I have of their available 78 rpm albums. Maybe Columbia "retired" that version for a few years after the 1946 revival cast album came out.
