It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

*** MERGE WARNING ***
TL;DR: Very possibly includes re-recordings

cover art photos (not quite up to MB standards) can be found here - these are stated to be "public domain recordings", for what that's worth, no allusion to original or not HOWEVER there is a very strong track list/order resemblance to this later Play 24-7 release (identical: d1 t01-15, then d2 t13-16, then d1 t16) and that release (barcode 5051503901726) has a pretty hefty disclaimer on its back cover: "ALL SINGLE ARTIST TRACKS ARE BY THE ORIGINAL ARTISTS BUT MAY BE RE-RECORDED. TRACKS FEATURING GROUPS MAY BE RE-RECORDED AND MAY NOT INCLUDE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL GROUP MEMBERS." (see also this edit and the two subsequent)
