Just listened to it, and I wish Bing’s vocals were better extracted from the recording they used, plus they shortened the break between him singing “children” and “listen” so it sounds a bit off. One interesting thing though, and one I’m thankful for, is that despite Geffen being involved they did not use the 1942 recording which didn’t sound so great over a new high fidelity backing track, instead I believe they have used the 1952 tape recording of White Christmas released originally on the “The Crosby Christmas Sessions” release.

Is it just me, or does Bing's voice sound slightly off throughout? I did notice the shortened break as well, as pointed out by Modern, which I believe was so the other singer could echo "listen" at the appropriate time.

The issue with Bing’s voice is that the isolation left in artifacts of the original radio recording they used, introducing slight off sounds. This single seems to be making an impact though!
