Description: The Cavalcade of Sports - Excerpts from the Greatest Moments in Sports (1925-1955) 7" Vinyl Record 33 RPM This is a fantastic piece of vintage sports memorabilia. This record was produced by Bud Greenspan and James Hammerstein and contains excerpts from the full-length Columbia album of the same name. This 7" LP was a promotional offering from the Gillette Safety Razor company in 1955. The paperboard sleeve and vinyl are both in very good + condition. There is some yellowing of the white paperboard from age. This is a valuable gift for the diehard sportsman or sports memorabilia collector.
