Description

This album was purchased new in the late 60s.
The disc is in near mint condition and plays perfectly, without jumps. The run offs are stamped  SBPG 63009 A1  and  SBPG 63009 B1  respectively.
The partially laminated outer sleeve is in excellent condition. It is clean, without scratches or splits, a 20 mm shallow crease at the front, upper RH corner and a very shallow 25 mm crease at the front, upper LH corner.
Titles: ** Locomotive, * I didn`t know about you ,  Straight no chaser,  Japanese folk song,  Between the Devil and the deep blue sea,  We see.
Personnel:   Rouse  tenor, Monk  piano, Larry Gales  bass,  Ben Riley drums. Recorded NY City,  *14, **15 Nov.1966 and  10 Jan, 1967.
The quartet toured Japan in May 66. Somehow Monk learned of a tune, well known in Japan, "Kojo no Tsuki", written in 1901. The title roughly translates as "The moon over a desolate castle". This very quickly became part of his repertoire and was re-titled for this album by Columbia.
