Up for auction is an original stereo LP of the famous Vince Guaraldi A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS album - Fantasy Records 85019.  The cover grades at least a 7/10 overall.  The LP grades a 7/10 visually, with grades 9 & 10 used sparingly.  The play grade would be a bit lower - around 6 - 6.5/10.  I played graded this on my Rega with a Shure V15 and there are multiple pops, which can be at least moderate, that come up on and off in the album.  I carefully wet cleaned and vacuumed this on a Nitty Gritty - aside from the pops, it plays quite well and is free of audible wear/distortion.
Shipping is via your choice of USPS Media (First Class internationally) or Priority Mail.  I sell worldwide.  Message with any questions.
