Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition 1975 LP on the RCA Victor Records label and a French Pressing from the 1970s containing the first two albums recorded by SONNY ROLLINS after his late 1950s sabbatical from recording and performing--the set is titled "Vol. 1: 'The Bridge'; Vol. 2: with Coleman Hawkins, 'Sonny Meets Hawk!'"  The first album (first issued in 1962) is a quartet recording featuring JIM HALL on guitar, BOB CRANSHAW on bass, and BEN RILEY and H. T. SAUNDERS on drums, and the second album (first issued in 1963) features COLEMAN HAWKINS on tenor saxopone with a rhythm section on PAUL BLEY on piano, HENRY GRIMES or BOB CRANSHAW on bass, and ROY McCURDY on drums.  The 2 LP Set is a 1970s RCA Victor records issue made in FRANCE and a STEREO issue with the serial number RCA 741074 / 075.
This 2 LP Set is in SUPERB overall condition and the vinyl on record one ("The Bridge") is in NEAR MINT condition and should play beautifully, with just a couple of slight paper scuffs that should not affect play and no other significant flaws, and in NEAR MINT- (Ex) condition on record two ("Sonny Meets Hawk!"), with a few moderate scuffs at the beginning of side two and a few light scuffs that should not significantly affect play but no other significant flaws; the deluxe laminated gatefold cover is in NM- condition with a small scuff and abrasion on the front cover under the titles, a few slight creases on the edges and just light shelfwear otherwise--it's NOT a cutout!  

Please Note:  I CAN ship records outside of the United States but will need to get a weight estimate based on the final PACKAGED weight for this record--I cannot ship for the $4.00 U.S. Media Rate and the quoted International Shipping Rate may differ from the final shipping rate due to packaged weight differences so please wait to make payment until a final invoice is received. Thanks!

Very Good Plus (VG+) A record that has had a number of plays and may have some superficial scuffs, possibly mild to moderate spindle marks and / or possibly hairline scratches on the vinyl, which may produce some intermittent pops and possibly very light background noise.

Very Good Minus (VG-)  A record with significant scuffs, scratches, and spindle marks that should play through with moderate pops and surface noise, possibly of some duration.

Good (G) A record with will play through, but with significant pops, substantial background noise, and possibly intermittent skipping.

Poor (P) A record with MAJOR issues that will interfere with play, and will possibly be unplayable in part due to damage (I'll only offer an LP in this condition if it's an extreme rarity and / or for cover art display purposes).
