About this record
Pressed by Decca Records Pressing Plant in Gloversville, this Bing Crosby Merry Christmas LP carries catalogue number DL 78128 and a Stereo designation. Its matrix history is the first thing to verify, since the plant credit appears alongside the parent company, Decca Records, Inc. The 1955 Decca original under DL 8128 sits in the catalogue as a separate release, so the 1960 edition is a later issue that collectors must tell apart from it.
What drives its value
Price guide figures for this edition run from a Mint value of 57.84 USD down to a Verified Good (VG) value of 27.40 USD, with Near Mint at 51.75 USD and Very Good Plus (VG+) at 39.57 USD. These are guide estimates and no live lowest price or copy count is recorded for this release.
Community data shows 431 collectors who have it and 112 who want it, a demand ratio that supports the Mint-to-VG spread. Other pressings in the file include the 1955 US Decca issue under DL 8128 and a European MCA Records release under 250 496-1.
Because the 1960 Gloversville edition is a reissue rather than the 1955 original, its value rests on condition and on how cleanly it matches the stated catalogue number.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this copy by reading the catalogue number DL 78128 on the spine and labels, then check the pressing plant credit, which names Decca Records Pressing Plant, Gloversville, alongside Decca Records, Inc. Compare the label text against the 1955 original, which is catalogued as DL 8128, to rule out the earlier issue. No barcode is recorded for this release, so a barcode check cannot be used to confirm the edition.
Check the dead wax area for a plant-stamped matrix, which is the decisive identifier, and match any stamp against the pressing plant named in the record data. Grade the sleeve and disc separately, using the price guide tiers from Mint at 57.84 USD to Poor at 3.04 USD as the reference scale.
