Peace on Earth, can it be?
It's not hard to track down audio or visual recordings of David Bowie and Bing Crosby's wonderful 1977 performance of Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy.
However, next month (November 9th) sees the release of the song as a limited edition red vinyl 7" 45 single, albeit with a slight title change to: The Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth. The single will be backed with a 1953 Bing Crosby/Ella Fitzgerald duet of White Christmas.
As if that wasn't enough, a restored version of the original Bing Crosby?s Merrie Olde Christmas TV broadcast, (which the Bowie/Bing performance first aired on) is also being made available on DVD at the same time: BING CROSBY: THE TELEVISION SPECIALS ? Volume Two: The Christmas Specials.
And, just to complete the set, the duet will also be part of the up-coming CD release: BING CROSBY: THE CROSBY CHRISTMAS SESSIONS.
