White Christmas/ God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Here's a beautiful promo copy of the 1959 pressing of Crosby's 1942 Christmas classic. This release was the first to feature a picture sleeve... and what a stunning picture it is! Note: The label design on this copy (see scan) was used by Decca from 1955 to 1960. The picture sleeve has only one significant flaw — a stain and small tear in the upper right-hand corner, where a sticker and staple were removed. A staple was also removed from the top left-hand corner, but the flaw isn't readily apparent from the sleeve front.
