Nope! That had the stereo LPs of the pop stuff plus the mono Irish Suite. The 
Christmas CD was, I understand from Kurt Anderson, supposed to contain the 1955 
mono "Carols" but instead used the mono version of the 1959 "Suites", plus the 
stereo "Sleigh Ride" plus the Fiedler Polydor "Sleigh Ride".
