Description

United States Air Force Presents:  1968 Christmas Radio Programs...  A Christmas Party With Sandler & Young/ The Free Design - The Now Sound Of Christmas.  For the full story of The Free Design's involvement with this record refer to the excellent documentary "Jingle Bell Rocks!" by Mitchell Kezin.  This album was only available to radio stations and at Air Force Recruitment Stations during the 1968 Christmas season.  1968 would have been a pretty rough year to recruit considering it was the height of the Vietnam War.  I don't know how many were given out but I doubt the line to get one was very long.    
The cover grades near mint.  The record grades VG++ with a nice glossy appearance.  The record plays cleanly and quietly.  The 1st 5 minutes of the Free Design side of this album can be heard at the very bottom of this listing.  
The US Postal Service increased shipping rates again on 7/11/22.  Please check shipping cost before bidding. Thanks.
ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:  The USPS created unnecessary chaos on 1/25/2021.  Europe no longer has consistent pricing, it varies from country to country.  Finland is $3.75 more than Sweden.  Does that make sense?  No, it doesn't.  The UK, France, Germany and a few others have a lower rate.  It's not possible for me to match every country with the correct rate.  I've had to use the highest rate across the board.  If your country ends up being dramatically lower I'll refund the difference.  You can refer to USPS.com to check their rates.
GRADING
Near Mint or Mint Minus:  My top grade.  The record or cover will show the most minimal of wear.  The record will have top gloss.  The cover will be free from any ring wear, splits, or handwriting.
VG++ :  Not quite Near Mint but a super clean, desirable record.
VG+ :  The record or cover will show signs of wear but no significant defects.
VG  :  Obvious signs of wear but the record still has life in it.  VG does not mean beat.
VG Minus  :  The record or cover will show moderate to heavy wear.  For a common record this would not be an acceptable grade.  For an in-demand, rare record it should be considered.
Good  :  Very heavy wear.  This grade would only be acceptable if the record is rare enough that you might not see another copy available for sale or it's a rare record at a low price.  Powered by eCommercePlayer.com
