This is an original copy of the excellent SIMPLICITY OF EXPRESSION - DEPTH OF THOUGHT LP by BILLY COBHAM on Columbia Records from 1978.  A killer jazz funk/fusion record from this legendary artist.  The vinyl is in VG condition with some light surface marks and wear and some light, unobtrusive surface noise.  The cover is in NM- condition; opened, but still in original shrink wrap with a small swatch of shrink torn away from the back side to expose some scuffs, as pictured.  Don't pass this one up!
