best selling Christmas album of all time. The rights were later acquired by PolyGram, which released it on CD in 1988, on the Mercury Records label. Among the movie soundtrack albums released by 20th Century Fox Records were those of Zorba the Greek, The Bible: In the Beginning, Doctor Dolittle, and Patton, all of them 20th Century Fox films. However, the label did not issue the soundtrack albums of any of the Rodgers and Hammerstein films released by the studio.

Russ Regan, a veteran "record man", became the new head of the label, a move that increased their credibility in the business considerably.

In 1976, Russ Regan left to form his own Parachute Records label which was distributed by Casablanca Records (Regan
