Albertina Walker-Silent Night/The Christmas Song-Gospel 1119- Caravans-Rare-Hear

$

50

Gospel 1119.  Silent Night/ The Christmas Song.  This is only the 2nd time in 20 years that I've used the word "Rare" in a heading.  Google this release to see what I mean.  Even Savoy/Gospel discographies list Gospel 1119 as "unknown".  I spoke with a longtime Black Gospel collector who had every single Caravans release but he didn't have this.  He didn't know it existed.
A visual grade of the 45 is between VG and VG+ with light surface wear.  See the 3rd and 4th photos for surface condition.  A play grade is between VG+ and VG++.  Sound clips are below.
Save on shipping with multiple wins.  For domestic shipping each additional 45 is 25 cents.  For international shipping I need to calculate based on weight.  The rate increase can be dramatic.  As an example an 8 oz. package costs $14.50 and a 9 oz. package costs $24.50.  That kind of jump makes no sense to me but that's the USPS for you.  If bidding on multiple items just request an invoice when you're done and I'll send an invoice with the adjusted shipping.
The US Postal Service increased shipping rates again on 1/26/20.  Everything went up across the board but rates to Canada, Australia and Japan went up the most.  Please check shipping cost before bidding.  Thanks.
GRADING
Near Mint or Mint Minus:  My top grade.  The record or cover will show the most minimal of wear.  The record will have top gloss.  The cover will be free from any ring wear, splits, or handwriting.
VG++ :  Not quite Near Mint but a super clean, desirable record.
VG+ :  The record or cover will show signs of wear but no significant defects.
VG  :  Obvious signs of wear but the record still has life in it.  VG does not mean beat.
VG Minus  :  The record or cover will show moderate to heavy wear.  For a common record this would not be an acceptable grade.  For an in-demand, rare record it should be considered.
Good  :  Very heavy wear.  This grade would only be acceptable if the record is rare enough that you might not see another copy available for sale.
