Notes

  1. A Christmas Treasure was not eligible to appear on the Billboard 200 because it is a christmas album, and was instead featured on the Christmas LP's chart, [6] peaking at #9. [7]
  2. The musical was transferred to London in April 1958, and the renewed success sent Andrews, Harrison, and the London cast to the recording studio in 1959 to capture the score in stereo: the London cast recording shares all the same principals as the Broadway cast.
  3. The album was recorded in the summer of 1966 and released in the same year by Firestone. The following year, RCA issued the album as A Christmas Treasure with two more songs in the track listing. [20]
