                                                            Released December 1950

                                                            Korean War, 1950

                                                           

                                                            From Wikipedia:

                                                            * On June 25, 1950, the North Korean People's Army under the

                                                            command of Kim Il-sung invaded South Korea, precipitating the

                                                            outbreak of the Korean War.

                                                           

                                                            * November 30, 1950: President Truman confirms during press

                                                            conference that use of nuclear weapons in Korea had been under

                                                            consideration.

                                                           

                                                            James Lewis Kraft, president and founder of kraft Foods.

                                                                                                                       

                                                            The Time was November 30, 1950. Truman was president and

                                                            stated during a press conference that nuclear weapons might

                                                            be used in Korea. This was the LARGE headline in papers all

                                                            over America. The people read it in America, and many panicked

                                                            and became fearful the bomb would be used, and retaliation

                                                            from the other side would follow next. That day the Kraft

                                                            company had a meeting and when J. L. Kraft saw the fear on his

                                                            employees faces, rather  than have the planned meeting. He

                                                            decided right then to give an impromptu sermon/speech with the

                                                            topic ending up being essentially: "Fear Not".

                                                           

                                                            The speech is interlaced with various stories that happened in

                                                            battle and demonstrates how with God's strength one doesn't

                                                            have to fear. Various bible verses are quoted and it is quite

                                                            moving to lift the fear the people must have felt. Quite a Piece of

                                                            History here in this 4 disc set! The vinyl plays great, a bit of

                                                            static noise here and there, but the message always come through

                                                            loud and clear.

                                                           

                                                            Disc conditions: all discs have great gloss, and all labels have

                                                            yellow spotting on them. All discs are one-sided.

                                                           

                                                            1: VG+: rough ticking around leading edge, a few deeper short

                                                            scratches, shiny. should play great.

                                                            2: vg++, a few hairline scratches.

                                                            3: vg+: 2 scuff patches near beginning of track, about 5/8" long.

                                                            several short deeper scratches near end of tracks.

                                                            4: vg+: several tiny deeper scratches.

                                                           

 

                                                            Thanks for Bidding! GOOD LUCK! No Reserve!!!

GRADING

SS (Still Sealed): Album is still sealed in ORIGINAL factory shrink wrap, it is unopened, record and sleeve should be near mint.

M (Mint): Cover shows no signs of wear or rings, shrink wrap removed, but record never played, perfection. We seldom use this grade.

M- / NM (Near Mint): Cover shows very minor signs of wear, no creases, no rings or split seams, the record can have a few scuffs or tiny light scratches, but it plays perfectly with no surface noise, the label is clean and unmarked.

VG++ / EX (Excellent): Cover shows slight ring, corner creases or edge wear, no wrinkles, puckers or seam splits, no writing on cover. Disc should have 6 or less fine scratches or scuffs , may have writing on label, and should play with hardly any surface noise. The condition of this vinyl is excellent. No skips!

VG+ (Very Good Plus): Cover is clean and will have SOME of the following flaws: writing, creases, frayed corners, edge wear, stains, ring, split seams, but NOT all of these to retain this grade. If too many flaws, it gets downgraded to VG. The disc will typcially have scratches and scuffs, good lustre and can have writing on label, but not deep scratches/scuffs that significantly affect audio quality, there should not be any skips. If we detect a deep scratch it is normal we play-grade through the scratch, to ensure we are not selling vinyl that has a skip.

VG,G,F (Very Good, Good, Fair): You will only see this grade for the cover or disc (not both!), when one part of the item in question is in VG+ or better condition and especially collectible. The majority of our vinyl has VG+ or better grade. Flaws will be noted with the grade.
