Nothing new about using a "wrong version"..Universal reissued the Leroy 
Anderson Christmas album a few years ago. In mono. From the 1959 version. Noit 
the 1955 mono original, not the 1959 stereo remake.

I've heard that some folk prefer the 1954 Fiedler performance. I can take 
Fiedler or leave him doing this stuff..Efrem Kurtz was a million times better 
and he conducted it in the first place, but he only recorded about 2/5 of the 
score.
