Dean Martin - Holiday Cheer Vinyl LP (Capitol Records T-2343)

This is a 12-inch vinyl long-play (LP) record cover for Dean Martin's holiday-themed album titled 'Holiday Cheer,' released under the Capitol Records label (catalog number T-2343). The album was originally released in the mid-1960s (circa 1965) and is a compilation of tracks from his earlier record, 'A Winter Romance.' The cover features a high-key photographic portrait of a smiling Dean Martin wearing a beige cardigan over a white collared shirt, set against a blurred green and bokeh background. The typography for 'Dean Martin' is stylized in a distressed teal font, while 'Holiday Cheer' is printed in orange. The Capitol Records logo is visible in the upper right corner. Regarding condition, the sleeve shows significant signs of age and handling. There is visible edge wear, particularly along the top and left spine, with several small tears and surface abrasions. The paper shows yellowing (foxing) Consistent with long-term storage, and there is a blue price sticker or label remnant in the upper right. Distinct ring wear is beginning to show on the front face, which is common for vintage records. While the vinyl disk is not visible, the jacket's condition would be graded around 'Good' (G) or 'Very Good' (VG) on the Goldmine scale due to the visible creases and surface wear. This mid-century artifact represents the peak of 'Rat Pack' era holiday music and is a desirable piece for collectors of traditional pop and Christmas memorabilia.
