Description

Up for your consideration is this scarce album from Annette Funicello. It is entitled "Songs From Annette" and she performs songs from various Disney serials such as the Hardy Boys, Spin & Marty, etc. She is joined by other Disney performers like Jimmy Dodd, Darlene Gillespie, Tim Considine, etc. It was released in 1958 on the Mickey Mouse label (MM-24). The record plays fine and rates a #8+ (VERY FINE - NEAR MINT). The cover is near perfect with no creases, stains or other flaws, rating a #9 (NEAR MINT). The seams on all sides are not split, however there is the beginning of a split in the upper right corner top that measures 3/8" long (see detail photo). The only other flaw that I can report, is a small price sticker in the upper right near the top (see detail photo). It measures 5/8" long and is in black and gold and reads $1.98. I have had this in my collection for many years and never tried to remove the price sticker for fear of tearing the surface. Not many of these early albums around, especially in this condition. Shipped priority with full value insurance.

RECORD AND COVER RATING GUIDE:
Most of our records and covers will fall in the 8, 9 & 10 rating. We don’t deal in anything less than a #6, unless it is REAL rare.
10. MINT -
Record: Perfect, like new, pristine and unused. Absolutely no flaws of any kind. Very few records will make this rating.
Cover/Sleeve: Generally still sealed and mint. Not a flaw to be found. Very few old covers/sleeves will make this rating.
9. NEAR MINT -
Record: Would be considered mint, but has probably been played. Still looks like brand new.
Cover/Sleeve: Might show minuscule spots of wear at seam from handling or storing, but one would have to look very hard to see anything.
8. VERY FINE -
Record: Excellent condition and extremely clean. Record has been played, but there is not much evidence of use and certainly no scratches of any kind.
Cover/Sleeve shows only very minor wear at seam and/or corners. Printed surface is near mint and showing no wear.
7. FINE -
Record: Very nice example. Record may show very minor use, possibility a minor hairline or two, but not audible. What most people call mint, usually falls into this rating.
Cover/Sleeve: Only the slightest of surface wear on surface and/or some very minor wear at seam and/or corners. Nothing to speak of.
6. VERY GOOD -
Record: Very light use from handling and possibility a few hairline scratches, but still nothing audible.
Cover/Sleeve: May have light wear or small tear along seam, corners, and possibly a small crease, scratch or a light smudge on surface, but very minor. Faint evidence of ring wear possibly starting to show.
5. GOOD -
Record: Light scratches in record could be audible, but nothing too bad. Still plays fine without too much noise
Cover/Sleeve: Still very presentable with some wear here and there, but nothing too serious. Some evidence of ring wear, but still light. Tears at seam may be present.
4. FAIR -
Record: Shows use. Scratches will be somewhat obvious when played.
Cover/Sleeve: Starting to show quite a bit of wear here and there, but still presentable. Tears at seams or creases on cover.
3 AND BELOW -
Pretty much trashed. Don't waste your money on these ratings, unless it is an extremely rare record.
