Barely Made Version Bing Crosby MERRY CHRISTMAS Vinyl LP (MCA-167) EX Condition. This is a great copy of the short lived version of Bing Crosby's classic album.
In 1973, after MCA merged all their labels (Decca, Uni, Kapp) to one corporate name, MCA Records, the album received a new catalogue number, MCA 167. This version was only available for a short time. Eventually, MCA chose to create a new numbering series for its reissued Christmas albums, and Merry Christmas was assigned MCA 15024. This exists on the black with rainbow, tan, and blue with rainbow labels. While the initial MCA pressings were in re-channeled stereo (as on the post-1963 Decca issues), the original "dry" mono mixes were restored to several of the later MCA pressings- most notably on the blue with rainbow labels.
This album is in excellent condition with just some very slight wear to corner and sides of the outer jacket (see photos). The record itself is in excellent condition with only some very minor NON affecting surface scratching. This truly is a very nice album. Gradings are of our opinion only. Shipping will be via USPS Media Mail and rest assured this album will be packaged with care to help ensure safe delivery. Please consider checking out our other listings for more great items.
