Besides the four prints by Peter Schmidt,my copy also with a blue flyer of “Kurt’s Reder” by Russell Mills!
-
By This River is one of the most moving pieces of music I have ever heard. Gets me every time. -
If anyone is looking to part with print no. 2, “Look At September, Look At October”, I will gladly buy. Copy I bought only came with the three other prints unfortunately -

I get this album in 1977 with the 4 prints (but I will never sells them!)
Or I will exchange for Oblique strategies cards! -
-
I have what may be a later pressing with the same 2302 071 code, without the etchings in the dead wax, and with completed paintings on the back of the jacket. It also has a different label design on the records.
