Offered, in uncommonly excellent condition, is the much beloved Merry Christmas... Bing Crosby Decca Album set, featuring the fabulous Andrews Sisters :

‎– Merry Christmas Label: ‎– A-550 Series: Format: 4 × , 10", 78 RPM, Album Country: Released: Genre:

THE SHELLAC : EX : Well cared for during these 6+ decades / each of the 4 separate records are in generally this same EX grade, with some scuffing, but very few scratches. The few scratches that are there are light, with no deep marks. The shellac itself is in great condition, with no chipping or cracking. Bright, clean labels in black and gold: all eight are complete with no tears.

This is the entire, original Album Set.

I have placed each record into a protective plastic sleeve within the original manila paper inner sleeves, to maintain their condition.


THE ALBUM COVER : EX : Stored reasonably well / bright colours and a great black & white photo of the smiling Bing / the seam along the spine is intact with very little wear / the bottom front cover has a minor ½ inch tear (please see photo) / some minor edgewear / present along the top pages of the album is some water staining / no writing or paper loss.

As point of interest (and a dose of nostalgia), included is the original purchase receipt for the set, dated December 12, 1947!

Tracklist : 1 – With Silent Night (Christmas Hymn) 2 – With Adeste Fideles (O Come All Ye Faithful) 3 – With And White Christmas 4 – With God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen 5 – With I'll Be Home For Christmas (If Only In My Dreams) 6 – With Faith Of Our Fathers 7 – And With Jingle Bells 8 – And With Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

RECORD GRADING DESCRIPTION:

THIS RECORD IS SIGHT-GRADED ONLY UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT, ACCORDING TO THESE DEFINITIONS:

SEALED: RECORD IS WRAPPED IN PLASTIC & UNOPENED.

NM-: RECORD HAS LITTLE OR NO INDICATION THAT IT HAS BEEN PLAYED.

EX: MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE (LIGHT SCRATCHING/PAPER SCUFFS), BUT IN ALL A RECORD THAT HAS BEEN WELL-CARED FOR.

VG+: LESS CARE THAN EX, LIGHT SCRATCHING OR SCUFFING IS MORE EXTENSIVE. STILL VERY PLAYABLE & WILL LIKELY PROVIDE A QUALITY SOUND.

VG & BELOW: WHILE PLAYABLE, THIS RECORD HAS BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK. OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WEAR & SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO BE IN A LOW GRADE. A RECORD GRADED BELOW VG MAY HAVE A VALUE BASED UPON ITS RARITY OR UNIQUENESS.

WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CLEAN THIS RECORDING BEFORE PLAYING. RECORDS THAT ARE DECADES OLD CAN ATTRACT & ACCUMULATE DAMAGING FOREIGN MATERIAL THAT REDUCES SOUND QUALITY. THIS IS NORMALLY EASILY CORRECTED WITH A GOOD CLEANING.
