Recorded July 24th, 1945, this is the incredibly romantic song in Avengers Endgame, played when Captain America travels back through time to marry Peggy, because - well, you only live once, right? The 78 RPM record has both "It's Been a Long, Long Time" and "Autumn Serenade" by Harry James and his Orchestra. Many older record players with a 78 rpm speed can play this as well as a lot of modern Crosley record players, which usually have a 78 rpm speed as well as 33 & 45.

"It's Been a Long, Long Time" is in VG+  condition, which means it has some scuffs but is still shiny, with little visible surface wear. 78's are harder than vinyl records and so often light scuffs on the surface really don't have much, if any, impact on the playability. As such, it's likely this was actually played in the 1940's, so that's pretty cool.
I played it on my Crosley and it sounds AWESOME. On a phonograph/victrola, it would be super loud & highly suggest you play it on one if you ever get the chance. Those old phonographs were really loud and sound great.
Comes with original 1940's Columbia paper sleeve. 
The comic Avengers #1 came out in 1963, it featured Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Ant Man Wasp, Loki. Then other characters like Red Witch, Vision, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Spiderman and Daredevil.
