Frosty's Winter Wonderland Complete Story and Original Soundtrack LP

This item is an LP record album, specifically the soundtrack and complete story of 'Frosty's Winter Wonderland'. The album cover features colorful, animated artwork depicting Frosty the Snowman surrounded by several children in a snowy landscape, indicative of the 1970s animation style associated with Rankin/Bass productions. Frosty is prominently featured, holding a broom, wearing a black top hat with a blue band and pink flower, and a striped yellow and orange scarf. The children are dressed in various winter clothing, including hats, scarves, and coats, in a palette of reds, oranges, blues, greens, and browns. The background shows snow and stylized blue trees. The album's full title, 'Frosty's Winter Wonderland Complete Story and Original Soundtrack', is clearly visible, along with the credit 'RANKIN/BASS Presents'. It also notes that the story is 'narrated by ANDY GRIFFITH' and is 'FROM THE CHRISTMAS TV SPECIAL', indicating its tie-in to the beloved holiday program. A small logo for 'Golden Records' is visible in the upper right corner, along with the catalog number '1308'. At the bottom, a copyright notice reads '©MCMLXXIV Walt Disney Productions', indicating a 1974 copyright date, which places its style period firmly in the mid-1970s. The overall condition appears to be very lightly used, as stated in the context, with no significant visible creases, tears, or discoloration on the cover from the provided image. The edges and corners seem relatively sharp, suggesting it has been well-preserved. There are no obvious signs of water damage, major scuffs, or ring wear, which are common issues with vintage record albums.
