Rudolph Red-Nosed Reindeer

Tex Johnson & His Six Shooters
A Product Of Premier Albums, N.Y.C.

Here's a bit of a mystery album. It was apparently released on a label called: Pirouette. The album sported a foil cover with cartoon figures, that are different figures, but drawn in the exact same style as the cover I post here. The Pirouette release is in stereo.

My example is on "Premier Albums" and is a mono release. You can also find the same album with a different cover design, but featuring the same cartoon deer, as a stereo release.

The Pirouette release track list is somewhat different:

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
When Santa Claus Gets Your Letter
Fum Fum Fum
Wait for the Wagon (On Christmas Day)
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Cheyenne
A Merry Merry Christmas to You
Pride of the Prairie Mary
The Night Before Christmas Song
San Antonio
Just as the Sun Went Down
Go Tell It on the Mountain

The track list on my Premier album and the Premier stereo version is as follows:

White Christmas
Jingle Bells
Good King Wencelas
When Santa Gets Your Letter
The Night Before Christmas
Ruldolph The Red Nose Reindeer
Deck The Halls With Holly
Here Comes Santa Claus
Noel, Noel
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.

Possibly, all three releases hit the stores in the same year? Or maybe the Pirouette release came out a year later?  Why the cover designs drew from the same basic artwork and why the track lists varies is a the mystery.
