Description: Vintage 4 LP Lot #131: Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song, Best Of, When You're Smiling, Love Is The Thing Comments: This lot contains a great collection Nat King Cole music, including the beloved Christmas album. I listened to each and every one of these records from start to finish after cleaning them. The music sounded wonderful all the way through the 4 LPs. The album covers show some wear, as you can see in the photos. See further comments below where each album is described. Visual Record Condition: The vinyl condition varies from VG to VG+, but all of the records look decent. Individual LP grades are shown below. The records are still glossy with varying amounts of surface scuffs / light scratches. Some ticks and clicks are heard sometimes, but the records play with no skips or sticks and provide a satisfying listening experience. Record Labels Condition: Varies, but look real good for the most part. Jacket Type and Condition: The jackets conditions range from VG to EX with some amount of wear. Some of these LPs have writing or a sticker on the covers. All of the jackets are still visually pleasing and have been placed in protective poly outer sleeves to help prevent further wear. Inner Sleeve Type and Condition: Three of the records are in new replacement inner sleeves while one is in an original sleeve. The Albums In The Lot: The Christmas Song, 1976 yellow labels reissue of 1962 album: The album cover is in good looking EX ,condition with light surface and edge wear and some surface creases. The text on the spine looks good. The vinyl is in VG condition - glossy with surface scuffs and a few light scratches. The inner sleeve appears original. Someone wrote "Nat King Cole" in pencil on the inner sleeve. The record provides a great listen with great sound quality overall. General background surface noise is minimal. There are occasional light ticks and clicks. Sometimes the ticks/clicks persist for a while. There are several ticks in "Oh Tannenbaum" and persistent ticks from a scratch across "Away In A Manger". Even so, the record provides a very enjoyable listen.The Best Of Nat King Cole from around 1972: This is a Columbia House issue in a Uni-pak gatefold jacket. The jacket is in VG condition with mild surface wear and moderate wear around the edges and on the spine. There is a sticker with writing on the back side of the cover. The LP is in glossy VG+ condition. The inner sleeve is a white, paper replacement. The record plays really well with mostly negligible record surface noise. Light ticks are heard occasionally, but not that many at all. This is a super sounding collection of Nat King Cole classics.When You're Smiling from 1967: The jacket is in VG condition with mild surface and edge wear and a few light creases. There is some writing on the back side of the cover. The pasted-on back cover art work has lifted a little at one lower corner and should probably be glued down again. The LP is in glossy VG+ condition. The inner sleeve is a white, paper replacement. The record plays great with very mild general background record surface noise. The sound is beautiful and the songs are great.Love Is The Thing, UK pressing of 1957 LP: The record cover is in beautiful EX condition except for where Martha wrote her name near the top right corner. There is also what looks like an original price sticker in that corner. The inner sleeve is a new replacement. The LP is in glossy VG+ condition for the most part. There is however a scratch on the A-side that crosses most of tracks 2 and 3 and produces persistent ticks while those songs are playing. Otherwise, the background record surface noise is minimal. A few ticks/clicks are heard elsewhere including at the start of Side 2. I think the surface noise is tolerable and the record provides a satisfying listen.Shipping Notes: Several different shipping service options are available for you to choose from at check-out. 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------LOCAL PICKUP RULES: If Free Local Pickup is offered for this item and you choose that option instead of an option to have the item shipped to you, there are a few rules to be aware of. We both have to allocate time to make a pickup work smoothly, so please understand the local pickup rules.Don't choose free local pickup if you are expecting the item to be shipped to you (obviously). That won't work.Don't choose free local pickup if you live far far away, but think you might be in the area someday. That won't work. Pickup arrangements will always be made for a specific date and time, very close to the purchase date. Please don't ask me to hold something for extended periods of time.Pickup arrangements will be made after payment is received for the item. I will specify a location to meet.Payment must be made through eBay as soon as the item is purchased, just like for items shipped though USPS or UPS. No payments will be accepted in person. Failure to pay for the item in a timely manner may result in order cancellation.eBay provides a method to confirm the item has been picked up. At the time of this writing, that method is a QR code plus a six-digit code that can be found by looking at order details or in an email from eBay. YOU MUST BRING THE PICKUP CONFIRMATION CODE WITH YOU FOR EVERY ITEM TO BE PICKED UP. I can't hand over the item(s) without first scanning the pickup confirmation code(s). The codes can be printed or can be presented on your phone (eBay app or email).Items purchased for local pickup must be picked up in a timely manner, preferably the day of purchase or the next day. If you need more time than that to pickup your purchase, we must make arrangements before the item is purchased.

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 ***********
