Limited Edition Picture Disc. Import from Europe. Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded). Die-cut cover looks great; a couple creases near edges; very light-scuffing and surface impressions (front/back). Inner-sleeve is original (plastic). Spine is clean, and easy-to-read. Little-to-no shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use. (Not a cut-out.)
For this album, Nat King Cole's own contribution to Christmas, he has chosen a program of songs that are not only his own favorites, but the time-tested favorites of most people. Accompanying him, in a variety of beautiful combinations, are two orchestras and three choral groups, all under the direction of arranger-conductor Ralph Carmichael. The result, unique among musical presentations, is a definitive and majestic dedication to the spirit of the season. Never has the magic of Christmas been more beautifully expressed.
