ATTENTION THELONIOUS MONK,1950s JAZZ,ESQUIRE LABEL AND 1950s 10 INCH JAZZ ALBUM COLLECTORS. 

HERE IS A RARELY SEEN 1956 UK ESQUIRE LABEL 10 INCH LP OF 1954 PRESTIGE RECORDINGS MADE BY THE THELONIOUS MONK TRIO:ART BLAKEY ON DRUMS & PERCY HEATH ON BASS. "THELONIOUS MONK PLAYS".

ESQUIRE 20-075 THE PRINT RUN FOR THIS LP WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT 500 COPIES AS IN THE MID 1950s HARDLY ANYONE IN THE UK WAS BUYING LPs-MOST JAZZ FANS WERE STICKING WITH 78s AND OF COURSE MOST OF THE FEW COPIES OF THIS LP SOLD WERE PLAYED ON VERY HEAVY EQUIPMENT! THIS ONE HAS HAD SOME USE AND NOT UP TO MY USUAL HIGH STANDARD BUT STILL PLAYS THROUGH WELL AND IT MAY BE A LONG TIME BEFORE YOU FIND ANOTHER COPY,IF EVER!

MOST COPIES WOULD HAVE BEEN OBTAINED TO SPECIAL ORDER AND IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THIS LP WAS DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUED DUE TO LOW SALES FIGURES!

THIS LP IS VERY STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR VERY GOOD CONDITION(BETTER THAN GOOD++++ BUT BORDERLINE VERY GOOD) WITH SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS INCLUDING A COUPLE OF AUDIBLE SHORT LIVED CLICKS BUT THEY ARE SOON "OUT OF THE WAY" OF THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT SURFACE NOISE AND A LITTLE DISTORTION IN PLACES BUT NO STICKS OR JUMPS! THERE IS A VERY SLIGHT EDGE WARP BUT THIS DOES NOT AFFECT THE PLAYING OR SOUND WHATSOEVER. MY DECK ARM WEIGHT IS 2 GRAMMES. THE RECORD IS FAR BETTER THAN MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE BUT JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER EXAMPLE! VERY CLEAN LABELS-ONLY SLIGHT SPINDLE WEAR!

HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL AND INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS A BIT TATTY. THE FULLY LAMINATED+FLIPBACK COVER HAS SOME SMALL CREASES,A TINY TEAR AT THE BACK LEAD IN EDGE,A LITTLE LAMINATION PEELING AND A LITTLE STAINING BUT NO WRITING OR REPAIRS.

POSTAGE:UK 1ST CLASS SIGNED FOR £4-50 EUROPE AIRMAIL £7 AND REST OF THE WORLD AIR MAIL £10. COMBINATION POSTAGE DEALS ALWAYS AVAILABLE BUT WAIT FOR MY REVISED INVOICE BEFORE PAYING!
