Hallelujah Chorus/ Carol of the Bells - Silent Night, Holy Night

These are as beautiful as always, but I was a bit shocked to discover that Columbia "edited" the Hallelujah Chorus for this single release. At first I thought the record had skipped, but it was actually the production editors, who skipped the "slow" part of the "song." Jeez. Note, the sleeve is lovely, but has writing on the front (see scan) and a split seam on the left side.
