Phil Spector Christmas Gift For You Original pressing

Welcome my friends....to the show that never ends...

Thanks for checking out my albums! I've been collecting records for more than 20 years. All things change and its pretty much time to let go of the collection. I'm sure you will find the albums I put up for auction will have some tear stains on them, I mean they will be some very decent 1st pressings, or HTF releases. Lots of Beatles, late 50's and 60's. Oh yeah, quite a few Audiophile pressings, many sealed as I bought lots of doubles (1 to play and 1 to stash away for the future).

Today's feature is...

Phil Spector with his wall of sound and stable of girl groups singing on the compilation album "A Christmas Gift For You". Probably the best Christmas album of all time, featuring the likes of: The Crystals,  Darlene Love, The Ronettes, Bob B. Soxx & The Blue Jeans. Phil even does a number with all the artists (Silent Night). This great package includes a beautiful NM cover, still protected by the original shrink wrap. Can I grade the cellophane? It's NM also, the only break in it is where it was opened to get at the vinyl. Last, but not least, a just about perfect looking and sounding piece of vinyl. This pressing will knock your Bob B. Soxx off!!!
