This is a rare original copy of the excellent THIS CLOSE TO YOU LP by LUTHER on Cotillion Records from 1977.  A killer disco/funk record from this legendary artist.  The vinyl is in VG++ condition; visibly glossy and quite clean with only the slightest hint of unobtrusive surface noise.  The cover is in MINT- condition; opened, but still in original shrink wrap with a 3/4-inch promotional saw cut on the lower right corner, as pictured. Don't pass this one up!
