Artist - Dean Martin       Album Title - The Christmas Album
Record Label - Reprise Records RS-6222 (1966)

The VINYL here is absolutely awesome. Well over 50 years since its pressing but still super shiny & super clean. GOLDMINE standards rates this at NM-. Play tested with wonderful uninterrupted sound
The SLEEVE is just about as nice. Fully intact, NO stickers NO writing NO seam splits. The front still has great color while the back is super clean with great clarity. There is some light edge wear & perhaps light signs of storage & handling wear but again, minimal. GOLDMINE at EX+


VINYL - M = Perfect, M- or NM = probably played but still looks near perfect, super shiny, EX++ - Very light scratches or scuff that does not affect play, super shiny EX+ = Very close to an EX++, VG+ = minimal surface & scuff with light surface noise,
SLEEVE - M = Perfect, M- or NM = Package has been opened but still looks near perfect, EX++ = Hard to see ring wear, possibly some discoloration, EX+ = More noticeable ring wear more discoloration, EX
GOLDMINE is a well known vinyl record grading system that is wonderful guide for grading older records. I refer to them but also use my eyes and experience dating back some 60 years. I will use NM- if I feel it falls between NM & EX+. Also GOLDMINE does not refer to a HAZE I see on some, but not all, older records. I DO! I try to grade as if I am buying for myself
