YES THIS IS THE rare MONO pressing, the ONE YOU WANT !!!
THIS RECORD PLAYS MINT, yes MINT. QUIET and MINT.
SIDE 1 is actually NMINT. YES, IT'S THAT CLEAN.
SIDE 2 a VERY ENTHUSIASTIC VG+++ that's TRIPLE PLUS! with only a sprinkling of INAUDIBLE paper scuffing from being in it's ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE for decades. Again, it PLAYS QUIET and MINT. Cover is slightly LIVED IN but does the job. The seams and SOLID spine are holding up nicely and I don't see ANY ring wear on the front cover...do you?

SEE PICS !!!
THE SOUND QUALITY is nothing short of BREATHTAKING : PUNCHY Bass, SNAPPY Drums, and LIFELIKE, BREATHY Horns makes you feel as if they are playing right in your listening room, office, or man-cave. This ORIGINAL MONO 1st PRESSING of this SAM RIVERS MASTERPIECE brings us to only one conclusion...
RUDY VAN GELDER is a GENIUS.

ALL MUSIC : Contours Review ... FIVE STARS *****

by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

On Contours, his second Blue Note album, tenor saxophonist Sam Rivers fully embraced the avant-garde, but presented his music in a way that wouldn't be upsetting or confusing to hard bop loyalists. Rivers leads a quintet featuring trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Joe Chambers through a set of originals that walk a fine line between probing, contemplative post-bop and densely dissonant avant-jazz. Each musician is able to play the extremes equally well while remaining sensitive to the compositional subtleties. Rarely is Contours anything less than enthralling, and it remains one of the high watermarks of the mid-'60s avant-garde movement.
