Comments and Reviews

xiphophilos 1st Jan 2023		The last two tracks hadn't been entered yet properly above, so that made it a bit more difficult to see the differences. A 550 drops two titles, and only the first and the last record show the same track order as on A 403; A 403 (1945) A Silent Night, Holy Night B Adeste Fideles (O Come All Ye Faithful) C White Christmas D Let's Start The New Year Right E I'll Be Home For Christmas F Danny Boy G Faith Of Our Fathers H God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen I Jingle Bells J Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town A 550 (1947) A Silent Night, Holy Night B Adeste Fideles (O Come All Ye Faithful) C White Christmas D God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen E I'll Be Home For Christmas F Faith Of Our Fathers G Jingle Bells H Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
SeverlyWarpedRecord 11th Dec 2022		So what’s the difference between this and Decca A-550? They both have the exact same cover and tracks, just that this version has 1 more record. I did notice though that this one uses the older WW2 era Decca label, but they’re both listed as being from the same year here and on discogs…
