There are two RCA Listing notices for this catalog number. Both notices have the same matrix number prefixes of H2PH; however, the song titles differ. The first notice is dated September 23, 1957 and the second revised notice, October 7, 1957. The second notice revision is the order of the songs and the replacement of two of two of the tracks. There is less than a two week difference in these notices. This is a unique and extremely rare find.1“

Side 1: Santa Bring My Baby Back (To Me) / Blue Christmas
Side 2: Santa Claus Is Back In Town / I’ll Be Home for Christmas

This 1968 reissued cover variation is a surprisingly difficult cover to find. Take this for what it is worth, but this site has only seen a couple of copies in thea one year period of looking for this variation.
