The Dean Martin Christmas Album (Vinyl LP)

This is a vintage 12-inch vinyl long-playing (LP) record titled 'The Dean Martin Christmas Album,' released under the Reprise Records label (catalog number RS-6222). The cover art features a close-up, warm-toned headshot of Dean Martin against a vibrant red background. The typography uses stylized green and pink fonts to announce the title. This specific pressing is the Stereo version, as indicated by the bold 'STEREO' text at the top left. The construction is a standard cardboard jacket housing a 33 1/3 RPM vinyl disc. Condition-wise, the jacket shows significant signs of age and handling, including noticeable ring wear where the internal record has rubbed against the cardboard, corner softening, edge fraying, and a small price tag or inventory sticker on the upper right corner. There are also visible scuffs and minor surface abrasions across the front graphic. Released originally in 1966, this album is a staple of mid-century holiday music, showcasing Martin's classic baritone crooning style. The item represents a mid-to-late 1960s production era, utilizing the higher-quality color printing techniques and stereo sound engineering characteristic of that period's major label releases.
