Title: "An Evening with Boris Karloff and his Friends", in Original Decca vinyl.

I just dug the above out of an old box of records I have, numbered DL 74833 w/the Don Post studio cover art. Unfortunately, the record itself is not in the best condition. The sleeve is worn of course as I got it 40 + years ago.

I wish I'd taken better care of this + many other things I've held on to over these many years.

Hey listen, as long as the cover looks good and can be displayed, you can always get the audio from here:

I mean, yes, we'd like to have all of our vinyl look and play as if they were new, but when it comes to the things *I know I'm never going to sell*, I'd rather have the audio stored on a CD or tape, or MP3, etc., and have the cover and sleeve be in good shape.

Love this album!

That's very cool, Karlugosi.  I've been looking to buy that album cover to display for a while now.

It always surprises me how GOOD even a worn lp album cover looks when you pop it into an album frame and hang it on the wall.  Gives even the most tired-looking lp cover a new lease on life!

Thanks guys -- framing that album would certainly look nice! :)

That's what I do, typhooforme.  I get my frames at the Container Store. They look great framed up that way.
