[78-L] Christmas B-sides

[Rodger Holtin]

Morgareth's Crosby discography says the original take was also on 23778, never seen one, though.  I noticed that some copies I have of 18429 reference album numbers 306 (Holiday Inn) and 403.  What was Decca album 403?

The difference is notable right at the start..strings are an octave higher in 
the remake. The original was recorded before Decca began doing all its masters 
on 33RPM lacquers so when it was worn out by 1947, a new recording was needed, 
even though there were two takes made in '42. And I have goofed..the remake is 
*23778*, not 23378.
