Wow, he re-released it in '49 and got a top 10 hit on both sides??
That's truly amazing, considering NO one knows anything about it
today, while Crosby groans out his '49 re-recording backed by John
Scott Trotter every year without fail.

I'd heard that Crosby's '49 redo of "White Christmas" was one of the
first singles cut on the experimental new Ampexe 200As that he'd
backed financially. How true this is, I have no clue, but Crosby's
backing of Ampex is common knowledge.
