The company also released the Harry Simeone Chorale's recording of " Little Drummer Boy " and the album on which it was first featured, ''Sing We Now of Christmas'', later reissued as ''The Little Drummer Boy''. It became the best selling Christmas album ever. The rights were later acquired by PolyGram , which released it on CD in 1988, on the Casablanca Records label. Among the movie soundtrack albums released by 20th Century Fox Records were those of '' Zorba The Greek '' and '' Doctor Dolittle ''. However, the label did not issue the soundtrack albums of any of the seven Rodgers And Hammerstein films released by the studio. (The film versions of '' Oklahoma! '' (1955) and '' South Pacific '' (1958), although produced by the Magna Corporation, were given general release by 20th Century Fox.) The label launched its own subsidiary called Chi Sound Records for releasing Disco records. It originally self-distributed its records, but by the late 1960s its releases were distributed by ABC Records . RCA took over distribution in the late '70s. The label was active until 1981, being sold to Polygram in early 1982. 20TH CENTURY RECORDS ARTISTS
