Description
This is the rare deluxe 5 record version of Bing Crosby's Merry Christmas album on Decca album A-403. Five 78 records, including the added Let's Start the New Year Right and Danny Boy, which are not on the more common 4 record version. This copy is in absolutely beautiful condition. The records look barely played and are completely free of any scratches, needle wear, or damage. A few tiny surface scuffs on one or two of them, but they are very minor and do not affect the play one bit. Likewise the cover is in lovely crisp and sturdy condition, with just a tad of edgewear, the main spot being shown in my photos. I have seen many copies of these records and this is the best I have ever encountered. Really a great, top copy. You won't find better anywhere.
The records included are:
1- Silent Night, Holy Night / Adeste Fideles
2- White Christmas / Let's Start the New Year Right (this disc is the rare non-numbered version, which was made so that it could also be sold separately and not have a glaring number indicating it is a part of a set. This record by itself is already worth $75-100!)
3- I'll Be Home For Christmas / Danny Boy
4- Faith of our Fathers - God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen
5- Jingle Bells / Santa Claus is Comin' to Town -- both sides with the Andrews Sisters
