Bing Crosby - Merry Christmas - MCA 15024 - Release 1973 LIMITED VERSION Vinyl LP
Number etched on vinyl is Side 1 (MG-7-4087-W2); Side 2 (MG-7-4088-W3)
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.
Pre-Owned.
Cover has yellowed some and there are some dirty spots on the bottom of the back cover.
Don't have the original insert sleeve.
Vinyl LP is in Excellent Condition; no scratches. My pictures have a lot of glare.
