Description:
Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique records, this one featuring Bing Crosby and Andrews Sisters.
A few unique things about this item:
Firstly, this item retains LOTS of the original shine with some very, very light marks. I played it and found the two sides to audibly average well above VG+(excellent). You can assign your own grade based on my detailed comments below and the grading scale shown.
I played this on a Technics SL-D2 turntable, Technics cartridge, Denon receiver with the volume turned up to 26.0db.
Secondly, at the time of this listing, no copies found for sale out on the Internet. Past sales for as high as $750!
So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price. Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction! It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.
Please e-mail if questions.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s).
Here is a summary of the record(s):
Artist: Bing Crosby and Andrews Sisters Title: Poppa Santa Claus / Mele Kilikimaka Record: Black vinyl with the original shine and some very, very light marks, grading by sight in normal room light. Labels: Black with silver print. No pen/pencil marks. No stickers. Very slight general/ring wear (see scan). Trailing wax: Side 1: "45WL 5829-1 A2" Side 2: "45 WL 5830-1 1 A1". Sleeve: A generic sleeve will be included.
Comments: I found the two sides to audibly average above VG+(excellent). You can assign your own grade based on my comments below. A great addition to your 45rpm collection.
Side 1: -- Comments
Poppa Santa Claus - (A scattered very, very light surface noise, one very light pop (3.3)) Side 2: -- Comments Mele Kilikimaka (Some scattered very, very light surface noise (3.4))
Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people: NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)
3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective) VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise
I normally ship single 45rpm records in a 12x10x3 box. Weight with box is about 11 ounces. Shipping is 0-1 pounds Media Rate, $4.63 + $1.07 box = $5.70. Priority ship is $9.90 + $1.07 box = $10.97. I'll cover the added cost of shipping it Priority.
I'm shipping to you at cost. If you feel it is too much, please look elsewhere. E-bay will charge me 10-15% of the shipping as well.
Given the high dollar value of this item, it will need to go Priority so it can be insured along with signature confirmation. I'll cover the insurance AND the signature confirmation AND the added cost of shipping it Priority.
