I think, the list above (from the great website Jazzdiscography) ist not correct.

For the new "Let It Snow" they used the 1946-version.

And "Sleigh Bells" seems to be a different version than the usual one vom Nov. 17th, 1952.

Yeah, VIP-music still has some volumes in stock, but unfortunately thers's no chance to buy the volumes 40-51.

And I'm searching on ebay for a long while.....

 

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.

http://www.bingcrosbyshop.com/bing-crosby-seasons.html

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

I am no big fan of "downloads" if a real CD exists.

So I bought a real one, used of course and not really cheap, and it runs too slow, too.

What a crap!

Hello everybody,

at first I must say sorry for some ortographic or grammatical mistakes in the following posting, but - as you can see in the headline - I am from Germany and my English isn't as good as it should be after 8 years in school, but that was more than 25 years ago. I am 42 years old and I'm a big, big fan of a lot of musicians and singers. And I am a "brandnew" fan of Bing's music.

I've collected music (formerly LPs and since 1990 CDs) for many years and tody I've got over 3000 CDs. And btw.  I am a musician and singer too, but only semi-professionel on weekends.

I like Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, Jerry Lee Lewis, Marty Robbins and Fats Domino. They've recorded thousands of Songs and I have nearly all of them. 

But I like Frank Sinatra, Perry Como and Pat Boone, Bobby Darin, Roy Orbison, Engelbert, Nat King Cole and Matt Monro, too. 

And Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Cliff Richard & The Shadows and Chuck Berry. And Ricky Nelson, Johnny Tillotson, Bobby Rydell, Frankie Avalon and Jerry Wallace. 

And Eddy Arnold, Jim Reeves, Roy Rogers, Roger Miller and Johnny Cash.

And lotsa German (and austrian) singers like Peter Alexander, Heino, Freddy Quinn, Hans Albers, Bata Illic, Rex Gildo, Roy Black, Chris Roberts, Gus Backus and some more. 

From Bing I had only some 20 CDs and most of the time I heard his (christmas-)music between November 20th and December 26th. And some other Albums (like "Seasons") in autum, to attune me to the Holiday Season, because Bings voice IS Christmas for me. 

But since last year, Bing wasn't a footnote in my musical taste furthermore, and so I bought more than 50 new CDs from December until today. And I must say, that I love especially the older voice of Bing in the fifties, sixties and seventies. And the sound quality is much better than in the thirties... and perhabs especially THAT was the problem for me. The recording technique became much better since the late fities.

By now I have a lotta music from Bing (some
