FROM THE BACK LINER NOTES: I FIND THIS ALBUM, WHICH CONSISTS OF TWO NEW MONK COMPOSITIONS AND REWORKINGS OF THREE EARLIER NUMBERS, TO BE VERY EXCITING EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE IS NO DANGER AT ALL AS YET THAT THE DEEP WELL OF THELONIOUS' CREATIVITY WILL RUN DRY OR THAT HE WILL EVER DRIFT INTO THE SHALLOW REPETITIOUSNESS THAT HAS AT TIMES AFFLICTED OTHER FREQUENTLY-RECORDED JAZZ ARTISTS.

FRONT LACQUERED CARD STOCK COVER IN VERY FINE CONDITION WITHOUT WEAR. BACK WHITE CARD STOCK COVER WITH JUST THE LIGHTEST OF ANY RUB WEAR AT CENTER EDGES. SPINE EDGE OF JACKET WITH A FEW SMALL ROUGH SPOTS, TOP AND BOTTOMS OK.

VIRGIN SPINDLE HOLE. A FEW LIGHT SURFACE PAPER SLEEVE STORAGE MARKS SIDE ONE. ORANGE DOTS AROUND LABEL ARE PHOTO REFLECTION. APPEARS TO HAVE NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MUCH OR VISITED A TURNTABLE.

GRADING & POLICIES: All records are visually graded. Grading indicates state of vinyl (covers noted separately). If I've listened to an LP, note will be made about sound quality. The following is a general overview about grades, subject to any above notations: MINT indicates pristine vinyl without any marks on surface. MINT MINUS may contain one or two very light surface marks from play or sleeve wear under light. If you are a real collector, you'll know that even a factory sealed LP occasionally has some light sleeve or rub marks. Anything in the VG category would contain more than two surface marks or have some other visible signs of ring or hole wear. Rarely do I offer something in the "G" state. If I do, it's usually a rare LP and priced accordingly. Values are assigned according to market availability and rarity, not a price guide.

PAYMENT: PAYPAL is my preferred method for your payment. I like to ship your records out within 2-3 days of payment, so using PAYPAL gets the records to you ASAP and concludes the transaction. Contact me after the auction if your PAYPAL payment or another method of payment will be delayed so I know what's going on.
