Description

Sam Rivers

"Contours"

Product

Record Grade: VG++

This is the original Mono 1st Pressing from 1967 with New York labels, VAN GELDER is stamped in the dead wax. The vinyl is nearly perfect and plays flawlessly. There is a small scuff on side A, that doesn't impact play. About as nice a copy as you'll find!

Cover Grade: VG+

A great cover! Slight shelf wear on the seams but in really good shape. Light staining on back. Spine looks great and is intact. Please see pictures and reach out with any questions. This is one for the archives!
