This is a vintage 1960s(?) era vinyl record - Buon Natale: Italian Christmas Songs released by Fiesta.  Release date not known, but from its appearance (and the other records shown on the back cover) it appears to be from the mid/late 1960s.  

Record itself is overall high gloss, and has nice clean labels.  We played it and it sounds great (VG+) with only a few very light imperfections here and there.  There are some hairline scratches and paper scuffs, but they do not perceptibly affect play. Cover and sleeve are also in VG+ condition with only minor wear and original plastic protective sleeve.

Overall, this was a very enjoyable record to listen to.

Actual item is shown, please see photos closely.

Note to grading scale: Many of our records are play tested, and this will be mentioned in the listing description. If play tested IS NOT mentioned, then a visual grade has been assigned with confidence.

Mint - We will never use MINT for an unsealed record, with one caveat, unless we witnessed, or caused, the seal to break, and we personally know it has been un-played, or only played once by us. We categorize almost all SEALED records as mint (as close as possible, and as intended, by the ability of the press) unless there is obvious damage, said above, to the plastic and cover that could impact the record inside. Covers that deserve the MINT grade must appear perfect, no cutouts, no rim wear, plastic completely intact all around (no tears) with little to no wear or discoloration.

Near Mint - We will use NEAR MINT (or NM-) for an unsealed record, if it clearly is in great condition and has been play tested. No scuffs, no scratches to the playable surface, plays great (once) without sound/music interference. May have some very minor imperfections. The best we will often assign is the next lower grade - Excellent (EXC+, or EXC++).

Excellent - (EXC+, or EXC++). Very few imperfections, usually play tested at least once, and it played strong with no, to almost none, noticeable distracting sounds effects or interference with the music.

Very Good Plus (VG+, or VG++). Physically in great condition with some minor scratches, other defects that do not significantly affect play, like a few paper scuffs, or hairlines. Usually play tested (unless noted), with some very minor noticeable imperfections, such as light snaps, pops, crackles. 

Very Good (Very Good VG, Very Good Minus, VG-). Noticeable imperfections (some scuffs or scratches), but play tested to not have over-bearing snaps, pops, crackles (some maybe, particularly allowed in fades) but these should have no skips on the huge majority of players.

Good - We strive to not sell (and almost always do not sell) records graded less than a strong VG-, unless it is highly collectible, rare, or for some other reason is in great demand. These records will have noticeable and significant imperfections, and they will be described in the listing.
