Bluebird Set BP-2 is indeed "Famous Christmas Carols," by The  
Carollers. I have two of the three discs, and am missing the album.  
The records are B-11350/2. The Abrams file lists only B-11350 and  
B-11352, and incompletely at that.

I don't think there was ever a BP-3.

Victor Set P-2, which IIRC has the same or very similar title, is  
indeed by Lew White (organ) with mixed chorus. That one is Victor  
26049/51.

Take care,


Joe
