Vintage Bing Crosby St Valentines Day 10 Inch Vinyl Record Decca DL 5039 1949

This is an authentic pre-owned vintage 10-inch vinyl record by Bing Crosby titled St. Valentine's Day released by Decca Records in 1949 under the mark DL 5039. This is a significant piece for the serious physical music collector who appreciates the original 33-1/3 RPM long play format from the late 1940s. Based on my personal testing the sound is very nice with good separation but there is consistent background noise present during playback. There is scratching present on the vinyl surface. Because I do not have sufficient professional equipment to check for technical audio quality this is being sold based on a standard listening test. The original cardboard cover shows its age with separation in the cardboard on the seams. This record features classic romantic tracks including I Love You Truly and Just A-Wearyin' for You. This is an honest play-copy for a collector who values the authentic warmth and character of mid-century vinyl over a digital recording. Sells as is.
