McDonald's Ronald McDonald - 1963 debut 45rpm record

$

61

Up for bid is the HOLY GRAIL of McDonald's promotional collectibles. It is he 1963 45rpm record debuting Willard Scott's Ronald McDonald character! On this record Ronald McDonald reads "The Night Before Christmas". Willard Scott essentially used a distilled, french fry hocking version, of his already famous and beloved Bozo The Clown character.    Very rare to see these up for auction or sale anywhere. In fact, information and documentation alone is hard enough to come by regarding this record. Do not confuse it with a later release of the same name. This is the original 1960's release. Released without a picture cover.
A limited number of these were given out in the D.C. metropolitan area to celebrate the creation of McDonald's new mascot! 
Take note of the McDonald's logo. It was made this way to resemble the slanted roof design of the McDonald's sixties building. Also look at Ronald's image on the record label. A much different character than the one today.
This record is in relatively good condition given its age. It is questionable how many exist today, due to the typically careless ways in which children handled these records. There are slight scuffs and scratches, but nothing that effects the sound. There is some crackling during play, but nothing major. Maybe a good cleaning would fix this issue? I am not a professional record dealer or appraiser, so please judge for yourself by the accompanying pictures.
As a bonus, I will throw in two other 45rpm records of Bozo The Clown's "Bozo At The Circus" by Capitol records. They are in WELL-USED condition, at least by visual appraisal. But may play fine after a good cleaning. Who cares right? They are thrown in FREE to the winner of this auction! I posted a couple of pictures of them, as well. 
This is a must have for the McDonald's Collector!!!!!!! Or any fan of promotional advertising records or fast food! Or just fans of creepy clowns! I have put this up at a LOW starting bid! Here is your chance to snag one of these cheap!
