Notes

Original 1956 issue, with label logo on top and "Vocal with Orchestra" designation at right, as on pressings made every holiday season through 1958; other differences from later pressings (as from 1960, 1962 and 1973) include:
- A side publisher shown as 'E. H. Morris & & Co., Inc.'
1959 pressings used this same design and layout (and ditched the second & from the A side publisher credit), but eliminated the "F" from the catalogue number.

Lacquers with 'N' designation mastered in New York, and 'D' lacquers mastered in Hollywood (D5 lacquer on Side B cut around 1953 and metal part thereof reused for some pressings of this record)
