Firestone Christmas Album Appraisal

Firestone Presents Your Favorite Christmas Music Volume 4 (1965 Vinyl LP)

This is a vintage vinyl record album titled "Firestone Presents Your Favorite Christmas Music Volume 4." The album cover features a festive design resembling a Christmas gift, with a prominent red bow and a sprig of what appears to be artificial mistletoe or holly with white berries and green leaves. The background is a gold or warm beige color with an ornate, off-white damask-like pattern. The album's details are printed on the 'gift package' design. Key artists listed on the cover include Julie Andrews, Vic Damone, Dorothy Kirsten, and James McCracken, alongside 'The Young Americans' and the 'Firestone Orchestra' with Irwin Kostal. The phrase 'HIGH FIDELITY' is visible at the bottom left, indicating a common audio standard for records of this era. The record appears to be housed in its original cardboard sleeve, which shows some signs of light use, consistent with an item from 1965. No significant damage like tears, deep creases, or pronounced corner wear (often associated with heavy use) is immediately apparent from the image, but specific condition of the vinyl disc itself cannot be assessed. The overall aesthetic is characteristic of mid-20th-century Christmas marketing and album art, particularly given the mention of Firestone, a company known for producing promotional holiday records during this period. The 'Volume 4' suggests it was part of an ongoing series. The album measures approximately 12x12 inches, which is standard for a 12-inch LP.
