Merry Snoopy's Christmas Vinyl Record Album

This item is identified as a vintage vinyl record album, specifically 'Merry Snoopy's Christmas' featuring Snoopy and his friends, along with The Royal Guardsmen. The album cover is primarily white with a large central illustration of Snoopy wearing a red nightgown and a red sleeping cap, holding a lit candle with a blue holder. Snoopy is depicted within a vibrant green Christmas wreath adorned with red and blue ornaments and a large red bow at the bottom. The background immediately behind Snoopy within the wreath is a bright yellow. The title 'MERRY SNOOPY'S CHRISTMAS' is prominently displayed at the top in red lettering with a green outline. Below the main illustration, it reads 'with SNOOPY AND HIS FRIENDS, THE ROYAL GUARDSMEN' in a smaller font. A visible signature 'by Schulz' is present near the bottom right of the illustration, indicating the creator Charles M. Schulz. In the bottom right corner, there is a distinct 'HOLIDAY' logo in an oval shape, suggestive of the record label or series. The bottom left quadrant of the cover has small print, partially obscured, but likely indicating copyright information and the year 1967, aligning with the provided context. The cover appears to be made of sturdy cardboard or heavy paper stock, typical for LP jackets of the era. The colors are still quite vibrant, suggesting good preservation of the printing. However, there are some minor signs of wear visible, such as slight creasing or edge wear, particularly around the corners and edges, consistent with being 'very lightly used' as stated. Small flecks of what appear to be plastic wrap or residue are visible on the right side of the cover, possibly from original packaging or a protective sleeve. The item's condition for its age (mid-20th century) seems good, with no major rips, tears, or water damage visible, indicating a well-cared-for collectible. The printing quality is standard for the period, with a clean and clear delineation of colors and lines. The general aesthetic is indicative of the late 1960s/early 1970s Christmas media, combining popular culture characters with holiday themes.
