HOLIDAY INN 1942 Soundtrack & Decca re-recordings compilation (MP3 320 kbps)

Several years ago I compiled a combination Original Cast Soundtrack album from the 1942 classic, “Holiday Inn”, using both actual sound track pre-recordings from a reel to reel of acetate and shellac playback discs a friend transferred in the 1950s of various sound track performances from films Crosby made at Paramount in the 1940s and Decca re-recordings, which has proven quite enjoyable, especially at this time of year. Although some of this material has shown up over the years in bootleg LPs & CDs, I believe this compilation sounds better than most despite the extra noise on acetates. Please confine this download to your personal use. Happy Holidays and enjoy.

Awesome, thanks for this, never thought I would hear the originals! I just wanted to point out that I believe the following tracks are from the Decca recordings and not the original soundtrack.

3. Lazy (Bing Crosby)
6. Abraham (Bing Crosby, Louise Beavers & Martha Mears)
7. Be Careful It’s My Heart (Bing Crosby with the Ken Darby Singers )
11. I’ve Got Plenty To Be Thankful For (Bing Crosby)

Wonderful! Thanks! I wish it had the finale. It was never released on the LP either.
