Description
THELONIOUS MONK SEPTET Monk’s music VINYL LP (Japan) Riverside Records – RLP 12-242, Riverside Records – R-5024 (1959 to early 60s first Japanese pressing of 1957 album, in lovely condition. Soft flip-back cover.)
Classic album first released on U.S. Riverside in 1957. Session line-up: Monk piano, Ray Copeland trumpet, Gigi Gryce alto sax, Coleman Hawkins tenor sax, John Coltrane tenor sax, Wilbur Ware bass and Art Blakey drums. Coltrane of course was not so well known at the time and relegated to second tenor on this date. Coleman Hawkins, Gigi Gryce and Art Blakey all get a mention in the cover artwork but Coltrane would have to wait for his fame. [original write-up]
Record Grade: around EX
(Very clean. Barely played. Possibly EX- to EX with only odd very light sleeve scuffs under strong light here and there.)Cover Grade: EX+
(Beautiful cover - no bends, no splits, no shelf wear, no dings. Really nice. [No obi].)
Nice copy.
FREE SHIPPING TO AUSTRALIA (registered post on $20+ items)
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS NOTE: Import taxes are the responsibility of the buyer. Please be aware of these costs before bidding. (International Postage terms: see below) Posted with vinyl outside of sleeve to prevent sleeve splits in transit. Packed in solid cardboard. Japanese pressings are usually heavier packages.
IMPORTANT: All records graded carefully under strong light.
I have a long standing good reputation for grading and I use
the UK grading system which includes EX grades. I am used to
strict Japanese grading standards. If a disc is graded EX you
will not receive something that should be VG+. On the off chance
that happens, please contact me and I will sort it out.
International Postage:
These discs are generally aimed at Australian buyers,
but I have a lot of experience posting internationally.
International postage will be an $ AU 30 flat rate .
(I'll cover the difference, including tracking etc., and if actual postage
does happen to come in lower I'll refund the difference back.)
If you would like to combine international postage on multiple items
please wait for an invoice.
NOTE: I am going to be selling my own collection of clean
Japanese pressings with obi's and other discs this year.
I have issues with storage because my wife and I have been
relocating between Australia and Korea.
Vinyl is visually graded only. My sound system is still in storage in
another city.
Grading note: Very clean near mint records may sometimes have tiny
specks of dust or very small ultra thin fabric strands (which can sometimes
be mistaken for marks) on the vinyl, which come from the inside of
inner sleeves. Both of these will likely be removed by the stylus on first play.
If I can, I send items out in anti-static inner sleeves to try to minimize
this.
