Vintage 9 LP Lot #34: White Christmas Carols Happy People Holiday Music Records

Description: Vintage 9 LP Lot #34: White Christmas Carols Happy People Holiday Music Records Comments: This lot contains a diverse collection of Christmas records by a variety of performers from way back when. This collection of LPs is sold As-Is. I did a visual inspection of each LP. All look playable, but looks can be deceiving. It is possible that some of them might not play well. THE RECORDS HAVE NOT BEEN CLEANED AND THE RECORDS HAVE NOT BEEN PLAY-TESTED. I believe that most, if not all of these records should be playable and sound good, but you never know until you clean them up and give them a spin. Most of these records should have plenty of life left and plenty of enjoyment to offer. Please see the photos for the titles offered in this lot. As with any old records that have been handled, there is a chance that one or more could have defects that affect playability. At the very least, some crackle, ticks, clicks and other record noise should be expected. Limited Guaranty: If you find any of these records unplayable because they skip intolerably or repeat due to an unfixable defect or an undetected warp, just let me know and I will refund your money for those records (prorated based on lot price divided by lot size). I'm not offering refunds for records that seem too crackly / scratchy to you. You should be prepared for varying levels of record surface noise when buying a batch of records described as these ones are. Visual Record Condition: The vinyl condition varies, but all records are visually in the VG to VG+ range for condition. Most still have at least some gloss. Some have surface scuffs and some have light scratches. You should expect to have to clean some or most of these records to get the best sound and best playback. You'll see dust and maybe fingerprints and other spots before cleaning. Record Labels Condition: Varies, but most are fine. Jacket Type and Condition: The jackets are generally in VG condition - some better, some worse. Expect to encounter various kinds of defects like moderate to heavier general wear, creases, dents, seam splits, taped seams, writing, stains, foxing, moisture marks, etc. Most of these LPs have writing or a sticker on the back sides of the covers from a previous owners habits. You may notice a little faint, old-record mustiness in some. Inner Sleeve Type and Condition: Most of the records are in new, replacement white paper inner sleeves. Play Test Notes and Tips For Best Play Results: I did not play test these LPs. Some will sound better than others. Expect varying levels of record surface noise and crackle and you'll probably not be disappointed. Even the most crackly ones will probably produce great sounding music. Getting better results by cleaning the LPs before playing: Before I play most old records that look a bit dirty, I usually clean them. If lightly soiled, a record cleaning cloth with some record cleaning solution might do the trick. But for dirtier records, washing works pretty well. It's not hard. Washing has the potential to affect labels, but doesn’t normally cause any harm. This is how I do it: Lay out a bath towel next to the kitchen sink and place a record on it. Add a little dish soap to warm water in the sink. Dip a soft cloth, suitable for record cleaning, in the soaped water and wring out much of the water. I use a record cleaning sponge that is designed to be safe for records. Gently rub the dampened cloth over one side of the record following the grooves in a circular motion as much as is needed to pick up dust and some fingerprints. Repeat for the other side. Rinse both sides with cool or warm (not hot) running water and place the record on a drier part of the bath towel. Use a hand towel to press the record gently from the top side to get most of the moisture off the labels and grooves. Flip the record and repeat the drying. Let the record stand for a while in a drying rack if you have one, or securely leaning against something while allowing air flow. Sometimes extra attention is needed to remove stubborn specks ... If You Run Into A Problem Playing A Record: Something that I have learned is that if a record skips, sticks/repeats or has a few loud pops, the problem can often be fixed. Sure – if the cause is a bad scratch or gouge or a warp - there might not be much hope. But often the cause of the problem is a speck. Very small specks of sleeve dust or other tiny debris can adhere to an LP surface from the pressure of sitting jam-packed on the shelf for years. These little specks can cause skips, sticks/repeats and loud pops. The good news is that a targeted drop of liquid and a soft record cleaning cloth will often remove such specks and restore play to normal or at least make things much better. So don’t give up on a seemingly faulty record without executing a careful search and destroy mission to eliminate specks. Shipping Notes: A significant portion of the cost of this lot is made up of postage and shipping materials costs. These may be shipped with the records inside of the jackets unless you specifically ask that I remove the records from the jackets. I generally pack and ship items sold right away and hand them over to the post office at the earliest opportunity (sometimes same day, sometimes next day). Please see the photos to check out the condition for yourself to the extent possible. Zoom right in and have a good look. Ask questions if you are puzzled by anything.

S h i p m e n t S a f e t y I promise to pack your item securely, no matter what it is. Everything I ship gets packed well, so don't worry about a thing. If appropriate I will add insurance coverage. Sometimes I will add signature tracking (USA) when your item is shipped. Signature tracking ensures that the postal service doesn't leave your valuable item unattended on your doorstep out in the sun or rain - it has to be handed over face to face. If you order something rare and/or worth a bit, be prepared to have to accept delivery in person. W h a t a b o u t c o m b i n e d s h i p p i n g f o r m u l t i p l e i t e m s ? When multiple items are shipped together, I can almost always give you a better deal on the shipping cost compared to the individual shipping costs. I promise to give you the best rate possible based on the items purchased and the shipping method required. For "Buy It Now" items (most of what I offer), simply add each item that you want to your shopping cart. When ready to commit to buying, request a total from me from your cart and I'll send an invoice as soon as I can. Since I'm not a computer and I do other things like sleep and take the dogs for walks, you might not receive an immediate response, but I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you decide to pay for items you want individually instead of requesting a total from the shopping cart, I will promptly send back whatever money I can for a shipping discount.Some items are not compatible for combined shipping. Combining shipping might require changing the shipping method or increase packaging materials expense. A few items that I offer are not eligible for combined shipping. Of course it is ok to ask about combined shipping costs up front. You have to tell me exactly what you intend to buy and where it will be shipped. I can't always give an exact cost, but I can at least give you an estimate.I reserve the right to limit the number or total value of items that I'm willing to send in a single package.For international sales I use ebay's international shipping program. Combined shipping depends on the ebay shipping program rules in place at the time of shipment. It is possible that no combined shipping discount is available for international orders.************* End of long-winded answers to hypothetical questions ***********
