I agree - the original LP version is better, without the choir.
I am extemely lucky to have a rare west german cd of the christmas portrait album - which is identical to the LP pressing. The album was remixed for the special edition and christmas collection set and Karens vocals seem a bit less prominant to me. Also, some of the instrumentation is different.
Furthermore, I think I'm right in saying that Ave Maria on the From the Top set is actually sped up slightly..........
I don't think you are in the minority Gary about preferring the LP version.........
