Raggedy Andy Christmas Party Appraisal

Raggedy Ann & Andy Christmas Party Vinyl LP

This item is a vintage vinyl record album titled "Raggedy Ann & Andy Christmas Party," as indicated by the prominent stylized text on the cover. The album cover features vibrant, cartoon-style illustrations of Raggedy Ann and Andy, along with other characters, depicted in various festive poses around a decorated Christmas tree with presents. The overall color scheme is predominantly hot pink for the background, with green accents for the Christmas tree and text banners, and a variety of bright colors for the characters’ clothing and gifts. Notable features on the cover include the album title in a curved banner at the bottom, and a partial tracklist along the top right edge, which lists songs and stories such as "Holiday Dreams Come True," "Santa for a Christmas Eve Party," "Jingle Bells," "We Wish You A Merry Christmas," "Silver Bells," "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," and "The Night Before Christmas." The record appears to be a standard 12-inch LP, housed in a cardboard sleeve. Given the context of being 'lightly used' and the year '1976' provided, this record likely dates from that era, aligning with the artistic style common for children's media in the mid-to-late 1970s. The visible condition suggests light wear, consistent with its 'lightly used' description, but no major tears, creases, or significant discoloration are immediately apparent on the cover, indicating it has been reasonably well-preserved for its age. The colors remain bright and unfaded, suggesting it hasn't been exposed to excessive light. The illustrative quality is typical of children's animation and book art from the period, showcasing clear lines and bold colors. No specific manufacturer's mark is clearly visible from the provided image, but the overall presentation is professional, indicative of a mass-produced children's audio product.
