The Snowman: Words and Music by Howard Blake, Narrated by Bernard Cribbins
CBS (FM) Records 3M 39216 Released ca. November 1983.  Still sealed! Record assumed to be NM.  
Jacket NM, with no wear or seal breaks to speak of.
Enjoy this classic record that includes one side presented in a radio-play style with narration by Bernard Cribbins backed with the music by Howard Blake, and the other side with just the music from the BBC cartoon.  This first aired in the U.K. on Boxing Day (December 26), 1982, and may have first run in the U.S. as early as Christmas 1983.  The shrinkwrap on this copy has a label wrapped around and over the barcode and serial number, indicating that CBS may have simply printed the U.K. version of the jacket and then changed the numbers/codes to match the system used by Columbia Records here in the U.S.  As far as I know, this is a fairly uncommon record, and should make a great gift as we approach the holidays!  I first recall seeing the cartoon in late 1988, and it's remained one of my personal favourites ever since.
Shipping costs $5.50 via Media Mail.  Please be sure to check out my other listings to score deals, as I combine shipping to boot.  I'll be working on putting more items I've had waiting in the wings up soon, as time finally allows in my schedule.  Happy buying!

"Quality items at reasonable prices from an eccentric merchant!"

As a math teacher and long-time record buyer with a definite passion for both vocations, I am excited to continue to make available LPs I have collected over the last twenty-four years but now need to winnow from my shelves.  The items I will be posting include quite a range of genres and interests - soundtracks, specialty records, and albums ranging from the typical mainstream to the unexpectedly weird.  Check back often to see what surprises I've got in store! 

Please note my conditions of sale:

-I use Goldmine standards to rate my albums, and I seek to do so conservatively.  Items will often receive both a visual check and a playgrade, so that I can review the material one last time and also listen for any differences between audible quality and my visual perception of an album's surface.  If there are any potential flaws in an item, I will make sure you know about those upfront.  As a rule, I will not attempt to sell records that rate below VG for the total package (unless the item in question is rare or hard to come by).  Because I deal largely in used stock and will be thorough in explaining an item's condition, please note that all sales are "as is" and final - returns are not accepted.

-I ship through USPS services to destinations in the U.S. only. All records will be packed sturdily with quality outer cardboard, with records and innersleeves removed from jackets to avoid seam splits on used items.  Because of the demands of my work schedule, shipments typically go out twice a week, by Wednesday (for albums paid for during the previous weekend) and by Saturday (for all later payments).  Whenever possible, I crank out shipments faster than this, so rest assured you'll get your order quickly.

-I will accept payments for items through PayPal only. You will be prompted to make payment at the time of purchase.  Please do not commit to buy if you don't intend to follow through with a payment.

-Shipping will be at cost to the buyer, through Media Mail.  I charge a starting fee of $5.50 for one album, then 75 cents per each additional LP in your order.  This is to help cover the cost of materials to keep your records safe.

-I will always be willing to combine shipping on multiple wins/purchases.  Just make sure to request an invoice prior to completing your purchase.

-A word to the wise on how I consider best offers: I often accept offers up to 30% below the listing value for my items.  Please avoid lowball offers!

-The bottom line: I will make every attempt to insure your satisfaction as my customer.  Let me know of any problems prior to posting negative or neutral feedback, as this will help me to refine my services and better serve my fellow record collectors out there.  Enjoy!
