Description: For sale is a vinyl album by Various Artists titled "All-Time Christmas Favorites", originally released in 1975 by Capitol Special Markets. In the dead wax between the labels and the last tracks is machine stamped "Mastered by Capitol Jay" and an upper case "O", followed by the matrix numbers H-2/H-1, indicating that this record was mastered at Capitol Mastering of Hollywood, California by Jay Maynard, before earlier stampers were used to press this album at Capitol Records' pressing plant located in Jacksonville, Illinois. These are hallmarks of state-of-the-art engineering, sought after by collectors and music lovers for their superior sound qualities. I bought this record used, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put it into an archival inner sleeve. This protects the integrity of the vinyl and any original inner sleeve(s) or insert(s) that may have come with the release. There is no original inner sleeve with this listing. The cover is graded as Very Good Plus because of corner blunts, edge rubs, ring wear and Magic Marker scribble on the back cover. The spine has color loss at rge corners from blunts and rubs. The vinyl is visually graded as Near Mint Minus because of superficial sleeve marks, but with surfaces that are still shiny and bright, in a like new condition, without any scuffs, smudges or spindle marks on the labels. I'm play grading this record as Near Mint without surface noise, lock-ups, pops or skips from start to finish. This would make a great addition to anyone's collection. I have a lot more Christmas records as well as albums of all different genres listed in my Ebay store. Please take a look. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you for viewing my listing. I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative. I offer discounts for multiple sales. Photos are of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo. Please review all descriptions and photos because I do not accept returns. Thank you for looking!
