This Lp was originally released in 1958 in both mono and stereo, and was recorded May 27, 31, June 1, 3 and 8, 1958. The "J" matrix prefix indicates a 1958 mastering as well. In 1962 the LP was reissued as LPM-2626 (mono) and LSP-2626 (stereo) and "remastered" as shown by new 1962 mastering prefix of "N" as can be seen on To Wish You A Merry Christmas (US 1962) (opens in a new tab). Along with a new cover/liner image, this new version also has a modified side B track list that adds B1 "Mary's Boy Child" and reshuffles the other tracks.
