Up For Auction:

Original Pressing, Roulette SR 3004, Harlem River Drive, LATIN FUNK MONSTER from 1971 with Original Lyric Insert.

Vinyl is NM, Jacket is VG+, Insert is clean but VG- due to a Crinkle Bend & a small tear on the edge (Please see below for more detailed description).

From AllMusic (5 Stars!, AMG Album Pick):

The reason this record is "legendary" is because it marks the first recorded performances, in 1970, of Eddie and Charlie Palmieri as bandleaders. The reason it should be a near mythical recording is for its musical quality and innovation. The Palmieris formed a band of themselves, a couple of Latinos that included Andy Gonzales, jazz-funk great -- even then -- Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, and some white guys and taught them how to play a music that was equal parts Cuban mambo, American soul via Stax/Volt, blues, Funkadelic-style rock, pop-jazz…And as much as War modeled their later sound on this one record, as great as they were, they never reached this peak artistically. But there's so much here: the amazing vocals (Jimmy Norman was in this band), the multi-dimensional percussion section, the tight, brass-heavy horn section, and the spaced-out guitar and keyboard work (give a listen to "Broken Home") where vocal lines trade with a soprano saxophone and a guitar as snaky keyboards create their own mystical effect…The band seems endless, as if there are dozens of musicians playing seamlessly together live…Harlem River Drive is a classic because after 30-plus years, it still sounds as if listeners are the ones catching up to it. It's worth every dime you pay for it.-Thom Jurek

Vinyl is NM, Super clean playback, labels are clean. There are some sleeve scuffs & spots of discoloration that may warrant an EX in some people’s eyes but playback is just so clean that I feel it deserves a NM.

Jacket is VG+, minimal ring wear & a bit of minor edge & corner wear. Cover has a couple of small crinkles & some minor rubs. The insert is VG-, due to a crinkle/bend that starts half way down the right side & cuts over to about 1/3 of the way across the bottom. There is a tear (about 1/2") at the top of the crinkle. Beyond this, the insert is in very nice shape.
