Description

Thelonious Monk Plays the Music of Duke Ellington, on Riverside 202.  Original deep-groove, mono copy is VG, with full gloss, quite a few light scratches and paper scuffs, but nothing heavy or deep.  Plays with good clarity and fidelity, some soft ticking and surface noise audible, but certainly a very listenable copy, with no dramatic pops or skips.  Laminated front cover looks nice, with light wear, a slightly bumped top-right corner and a more-heavily bumped lower-right corner, where there is also a one-inch seam split.  Rear cover shows heavier aging, has an ink-pen check mark next to one track title.  Seams have some minor flaking, missing/torn paper at top inch of spine.  A very decent copy of a very desirable record.

I am currently selling a very nice batch of 50s and 60s jazz originals in great shape, so check my other auctions.

GRADING
M- 
A flawless or nearly flawless record that appears to have seen little or no play.
VG+  Full gloss, some light marks.  A very, very attractive record that has seen limited play and has been well cared for.
