TITLE/INFO: Hello - If you have an interest in great conditioned "oldies" of all varieties, please continue to check in on my site as I have many more to sell yet in addition to what's already on my site -and thank you in advance. This near mint, Christmas holiday single is by the successful, brother/sister duo, The Carpenters from 1970. It's unique because it comes with the rare "Juke-Box Special" picture sleeve - which is much different from the original 1970 released version - and both the vinyl and this picture sleeve are in excellent to near mint condition (see pictures above). The original hit song that was played on the radio was "Merry Christmas Darling", and it's B-side would normally have been "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". But, with this "special juke-box" release, the sides are reversed and they tried to sell "Santa Claus....." as the hit side. Quite interesting!! It's still on their A&M Records label (1648) from 1974, and both song titles, both record labels, and the rare "Juke-Box Special" picture sleeve are clearly visible in the pictures above, so please check them all out

        INTERESTING FACTS: As always, I have begun the auction at a low opening bid and have no reserve price - just free and open bidding - so good luck! FYI, if anyone wants to bid on multiple items to save on postage costs, I am more than happy to "save" your winning pieces here at the house until you are ready for shipping - just tell me ahead of time, wait for my invoice (not EBay's), and pay for each item as you win them. In addition to this offer here, I will continue to list many other RnR/R&B LP's, 45's, and CDs by 1950-60's artists----and even some other '60's memorabilia, too. I am selling off my entire personal collection of records and "stuff", and there are 100's more items to list yet. Many of these still to be listed items are rare and hard to find, and most all of them are original and in near mint shape. So, please bookmark my site and check it out from time to time. GOOD LUCK BIDDING!!  If anyone ever needs more info than what is listed, please email me. I will respond! POSTAGE/HANDLING CHARGES: In the United States, the buyer agrees to pay $4.00 (Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation) for this 45/PS package. To save you, the buyer, additional postage/handing savings I would happily save any and all winnings to mail off as a group at one time - I have no problem doing that. These are U.S. rates only, and any foreign winner will have to await an email me for their exact costs, although I will send a detailed invoice as soon as the auction is over---but, there too, it is cheaper to send multiple pieces. The initial charges for overseas shipping are $22.00 for this 45/PS package - but then much less per record after that. PLEASE NOTE: I will not be responsible for packages that are lost or damaged by either US or overseas Postal Services. However, for additional fees, I will gladly ship the packages Priority Mail and/or add insurance! Please email me with either, or both, requests if this is of interest to you. Also, please continue to check out "rogersrecords" on ebay for future collectible records of all types. There are many more to come!
