As far as I can determine, this is the first release of this classic Christmas tune, from December 1958. The gorgeous picture sleeve with this first pressing has the full lyrics on the back. Note: Though the labels and vinyl appear untouched or only very lightly so, the vinyl has a little light surface noise that's occasionally audible. The A side audio is close to Near Mint, but because of the persistence of the light surface noise, I'm grading it a strong EX. The B side sounds about the same. The paper picture sleeve has the beginning of a small edge split seam.
