White Christmas - Outtake from 1976
Hello everybody,
I LOVE the tune "White Christmas" in nearly EVERY version.
Last year I found a notice on Bings Website, that there is a new version of the CD "Seasons" with an outtake of "White Christmas" from 1976.
And on Amazon (.de and .com) you can read about "plus 14 bonus-songs)".
I've ordered the nes 2013-Seasons two times - but everytime it has 25 tracks and no "White Christmas".
As my 2010-version, too.
Does everyone know, if the version with 26 tracks really exist?
Or must I order a third one, perhabs agan without WC?
I hope, I'm gonna find it someday.
Greetings from Germany
Freddy

Freddy, I fear that the listing on the website is in error.
I have copies of both the original CD issue from Bing Crosby Enterprises/Collector's Choice and the reissued version from Bing Crosby Enterprises/ Universal Music Distribution but neither have the outtake to which you refer.
The Amazon listings do not show it (although one shows 26 tracks in error - it shows "The Night Is Young And You're So Beautiful" as two tracks).

The outtake was used in a Bing's Basement broadcast.

Bing gets a mention in last Saturday's Chronicle (Centralia/Chehalis Wa USA.
Article talks about songs for Thanksgiving.
"Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sheep), a classic Irving Berlin song and Bing Crosby song from "White Christmas" that we can borrow for Thanksgiving

Did submit but don't know where it is so perhaps I didn't hit submit.
Today, 29th. May Bing recorded 'White Christmas' way back last century. It is also Bob Hope's birthdate and my uncle Arch - maybe they are all golfing on that course in the sky.
