I ripped to WAVs and layed them against each other. Yes, the openings are different. The White Album moves into the narration before the Green Album is even done singing 'Trim up The Tree', and the instrumentation sounds a bit different. The White Album is in stereo while the Green Album is mono. The sound of the White Album is brighter where the Green Album is bit boomier and less open at the high-end. The program tracks for the Green album runs 26:21, the proper running time for a 30 min show in the 60s. The White Album program is only 21:36. The White Album seems to swap the opening Narration with Trim... and @4 min the two synch up again (for a while, I didn't listen to the whole thing). My DVD has the same artwork as the Green Cover CD and runs Credit, Trim..., and then Narration (and runs 25:40. I suspect the Green Album is the uncut episode, while the White Album shuffles up the program for a 'better listening experience'. At that rate it could very well contain alternate takes (but I doubt they had more than 3-4 tracks to re-mix and re-master from).

Look at my first post, I thought they were the same, too. It sounds like a trade-off between original, complete tracks v better sound (the Green Album sounds fine until you compare to the detail on the White Album).
