197130702New York and Los Angeles: John Gibson Multiples 1971. First edition. Record LP. Very Good . Double LP audio record in gatefold sleeve. Association Copy INSCRIBED BY REICH TO FELLOW ARTISTS ATHENA TACHA AND RICHARD SPEAR in 1982. The first pressing of this recording was limited to 500 numbered copies and came with a leporello fouldout score as well as 100 Artist Proof AP copies. This copy is not numbered only inscribed and we suspect it to be one of the AP copies. This copy also lacks the leporello score that was issued with the signed/numbered edition. The gatefold sleeve has the title written on it neatly in ink by the recipient but is otherwise in very good to near fine condition with only some minor toning. Both records are also in superb condition very good or better showing only some very faint sleeve wear. A beautiful example of this important record from early in Reich's career and is very scare as an association copy. John Gibson + Multiples unknown books
