Description
Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted.
Grading is based on visual inspection.
Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve.
I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.
From the Seller’s extensive collection of Christmas albums, singles and compact discs.- This is an Authentic, Original, MONO First Pressing copy of this classic. The identifiers below (after the credits) are from Discogs and they match up.
- To be clear, this copy is an original Mono version.
- The original First Pressing is also indicated by a typo on the cover, "Marshmellow" and an incomplete title on the record label, "A Christmas Gift For You".
- This was out of print for 10 years and during that time there were, and probably still are, counterfeit versions out there. The Seller said several of those came through his store in the late-sixties early-seventies. He got this copy new in the mid-sixties. He apparently played it a couple times because there are two spindle marks on one side. The playing surfaces are clean.
- The paper on board cover has tight seams and shows some shelf/ring wear. There is a slight corner bump lower left.
- The original plain white die-cut inner sleeve has yellowed some with age. I have included a soft poly inner sleeve.
- This has been in storage for about 50 years.
- Note: I initially listed this at $1099.63. Sorry, that was a typo.
