[78-L] Autry's Rudolph

[Dave Burnham]

As I've written here before,  there's a similar situation with "Frosty";  the version on the complete Gene Autry CD is slightly different than the 78 we all know so well. The differences are barely noticeable but they're enough to prove that this is a different take. I also heard, coming from store speakers yesterday, the famous Bing Crosby/Andrews sisters "Jingle Bells" which had a different ending. I've never heard one of these alternate versions sound better than - or even as good as the original version.
