GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY'S

 

 GREAT SONGS OF CHRISTMAS

 

BY GREAT ARTISTS OF OUR TIMES 

 

NEW -- NEVER PLAYED

 

These are rare--made in 1965 but new--never played. As each gets bought and played these new ones become rarer and rarer and, thus, more valuable. I will have these available on eBay until January, and then will remove them until Fall 2018.

Recorded by Columbia Records, Special Products Division for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. Release date: 1965. Album five in the series. Record number CSP 238S. Format: Vinyl, LP, compilation, limited edition, stereo.

My dad was a manager of a Goodyear Tire & Rubber store in the 1960s. He had several cartons of these records that didn't get sold in the store that year stored in his garage. They are new old-stock—never played. They even have the original envelope from the Goodyear Record Department that was enclosed with the records to use to order more.

 

NOTE: These albums are new old stock and have never been played or, in most cases, even taken out of their record covers (except when I sell them--I take the records out to keep the covers intact), so the vinyl records are in mint condition. However, none of these records, which were sold in-store right out of the carton, were sealed. Therefore, none of the covers of the albums that I have are in absolutely pristine condition because of their age, the effects of being in contact with the cardboard carton and the cardboard covers of other albums for so long and from being moved while in the carton from one place to another over the decades. The album covers all have some slight edge wear, cover wear or might have a little chipping or discoloration on the front or back. Because of this, I am not calling the record covers mint, but rather near mint. Also, the paper inner sleeves have all browned because of being in contact with the cardboard of the album covers for over 50 years.

 

PAYMENT

I accept PayPal only for payment. Once payment is received, I usually ship within 24 hours.

 

SHIPPING

For shipping, to ensure your record arrives safely, I will remove the record from the inner sleeve, and both will be removed from the cardboard album cover. I will wrap them altogether in bubble wrap or in a temporary paper sleeve with a cardboard liner and then they will be placed in a sturdy cardboard box specifically made for shipping record albums. This is to protect the album cover and inner sleeve from tears and rips and to keep the vinyl itself protected from damage. I will then ship the album by United States Postal Service Media Mail.

If you wish to have your album arrive within 3 days, I will need to send it via Priority Mail. This will cost more than double the Media Mail price, depending upon how far you live from California (my location). Contact me for a price if you want me to ship your record by Priority Mail.

 

MULTIPLE PURCHASE DISCOUNT

I have other items for sale. To view them, please click on "View other items" under my seller name in the upper right corner of this listing. If you purchase two or more albums from me at the same time, I will reduce the price of all albums you purchase by $1 each. Albums must be purchased at the same time. (Price reduction will be in the form of a partial refund. If I forget, just remind me and I will send the reduction refund immediately.) This multi-purchase discount doesn't have to be a Christmas album; it can be for any of the albums I have for sale.

 

COMBINED SHIPPING

If you purchase more than one album from me, I can place up to 3 albums into one carton.  The first album will cost $3.50 to ship, the second will cost $4.00 and the third will cost $4.50 to ship. (MEDIA MAIL ONLY. Check with me if you are interested in combined shipping using Priority Mail.) Purchases must be made at the same time for combined shipping.

 

RETURNS

I accept returns for refund if notified within 14 days of delivery; however, the items must be in the same condition as when shipped. The buyer is responsible for the cost of the return shipping. Once the record is returned, I will refund the buyer's purchase price and original shipping cost.

If you have questions, please ask and I will respond to you within 24 hours.

Thank you for viewing my listing.
