This is a very rare original MONO pressing of the excellent A LOVE SUPREME LP by JOHN COLTRANE on Impulse! Records (Mono, A-77, "VAN GELDER" stamper in the runout grooves) from 1965.  An absolutely essential jazz record from this legendary artist.  The vinyl is in VG condition with a few light marks and wear and some light, unobtrusive surface noise.  The sturdy gatefold cover is in VG/VG+ condition with a few minor scuffs dings and a few light stains inside the gatefold at the edges, as pictured.  Includes original printed Impulse! insert sleeve in great shape, as pictured, with all seams intact. Don't pass up a truly rare gem like this!
