This record was part of my father’s vast, personal collection, Jay Monroe Sr. This record has been extremely well cared for and stored properly. My father collected records for over 60 years amassing thousands of records on labels such as Sun, Chess, Checker, Duke, Excello, Imperial, Meteor, Modern and RPM to name a few. He also collected obscure labels and pre and post war records. His focus was 50’s blues, R&B/Soul and Rockabilly but extended into Country, Gospel, Vocal and Jazz. I am not a record flipper, I’m trying to do right by my father and his life’s work. I am auctioning his collection, and his only, so others can appreciate 60+ years of work tracking down these rare records in the best possible conditions. I DO NOT OWN a “degritter” or other mechanical disc cleaner, they are as my father properly stored them. The records are photographed with my phone, no filters, so there may be some reflections. Welcome to Monroe Rare Records where your purchase is backed with a 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back!

Record Details and Description: This is a limited edition original mono “Long Play” pressing of the Elvis Christmas LP with picture book and golden ticket! I have many more pictures that I couldn’t fit in listing. Message for additional pictures. I did not open the cover all the way as the spine does not even have a crease. I took pictures the best I could with cover halfway open.

Grading Scale-

(M-) My highest grade, a gem quality like new disc with full blazing gloss. Record was only played a handful of times, will show marks made by 50’s paper sleeve removal and/or slight imperfection on label. Some labels were more prone to this than others. Record was properly cleaned and stored. I do not use “Mint” for 60+ year old records. M- grade is a top collector piece.

(VG+) Can also be “VG++” in certain instances. A very clean, above average record. Will show signs of use such as minor paper sleeve scuffs and/or light ring wear. Vinyl retains the majority, if not all of its original gloss and playback is excellent. A very collectable record.

(VG) Vinyl displays more scuffs but gloss is still present. Playback still has nice fidelity. Eyelash sleeve scuffing around most of the surface. There may be some very light surface noise and/or a tick or very slight warp (should be identified in description) but plays all the way through without skips. A collectable record.

(VG-) Vinyl has scuffs all around and possible scratches (will be noted in description) but most will still have gloss left, others may not so refer to pictures. Many of these often play quite well and make acceptable options, until a better one comes along. After test play, I will note any specific issue. The disc will playback with some surface noise and/or ticks/pops. Still enjoyable player w/o skips.

(G+) Close to the same as a VG-, the playback far surpasses its looks. Label may have serious wear or tear and/or vinyl has rough edges. Still plays through w/o skips.
