Title: ALVIN SCHWARTZ SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK READ BY GEORGE S. IRVING
Label / Cat#: CAEDMON / TC 1794 (ORIGINAL 1986 PRESSING)

VINYL: (VG+) Record plays through strong & loud with some light pop & crackle here & there, mainly most audible in the quietest of sections. The vinyl is still very shiny with a handful of light marks/scuffs, nothing deep or effecting the true enjoyment of play. Please do listen to the excerpts taken from the actual record below as heard on my turntable. The labels look great with no notable signs of wear.

COVER: (EX-) The cover looks wonderful overall with a small touch of visible edge & shelf wear and a very light discoloring on the back of the cover near the right bottom corner, likely from the actual assemblage process of the sleeve itself. Please check out the pictures to see it. This record retains most of it's original outer shrink apart from a small bit missing where it appears they removed to apply the wonderful "EDUCATIONAL RECORD CENTER" sticker located on the back cover in the bottom right hand corner. Really nice!   

This auction is for the amazing RARE original 1986 CAEDMON pressing of the ALVIN SCHWARTZ "SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK" LP, read by GEORGE S. IRVING. Beautiful STEPHEN GAMMELL cover artwork on the front. Extremely tough record to find, a real grail now sought out by collectors. Definitely only getting harder to find, nearing impossible in this condition. Last copy seen for sale in decent condition sold for just under 700 dollars the end of last year.
Please do take a listen to these excerpts:
