Golden Christmas Favorites 45 Rpm Ep Ep 322 Appraisal

Golden Christmas Favorites 45 RPM EP (EP 322)

This is a vintage 7-inch children's vinyl record sleeve titled 'Golden Christmas Favorites,' part of the Little Golden Records series. The cover art features a vibrant red background with collage-style graphics of three individual record covers: Santa Claus (Jingle Bells), Frosty the Snowman, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The sleeve is constructed from standard medium-weight cardstock with a printed glossy finish. Notable performance credits on the front include Mitch Miller and Orchestra, the Sandpiper Chorus, Pat O'Malley, and Michael Stewart. The catalog number EP 322 is visible in the upper left corner. This specific release is marketed as a 'Three on One' 45 RPM Extended Play (EP) record, originally priced at 49 cents, with a green ink handwritten price mark overlaid on the top right. The style and typography are characteristic of the mid-1950s to early 1960s. Condition-wise, the sleeve shows moderate shelf wear, including visible corner softening, minor edge fraying, and a small puncture or tear near the top right price stamp. The colors remain relatively vivid, though there is some light surface scuffing across the main red field. This item represents a classic piece of mid-century Americana and children's media history.
