Next album = "Irving Berlin's White Christmas" was an LP album of songs by Rosemary Clooney from the movie "White Christmas," released by Columbia Records in 1954.

This was one of two albums of songs from the movie, neither of which qualifies as an original soundtrack recording, that were released, because Bing Crosby (who had a recording contract with Decca Records) and Rosemary Clooney (with a Columbia contract) could not record together. This album, therefore, was issued by Columbia, while Decca issued an album called "Selections from Irving Berlin's White Christmas."

Oddly, though Clooney and Crosby were unable to make an album together at this time, subsequently both signed with RCA Victor Records, and the two made some albums together for RCA. [See "Fancy Meeting You Here" (1958), "How the West Was Won," (1959), and "Rendezvous" (1969).] They also both signed with Capitol Records and made albums together for that company. [See, for example, "That Travelin' Two-Beat."]
