1963 FIRST PRESS ORIGINAL STEREO RED EYE LABEL

This is an investment-grade copy of The Thelonious Monk Quartet’s landmark album, Monk’s Dream. An authentic 1963 original US first-year Stereo pressing, proudly featuring the iconic Columbia Records "2-Eye" label the highly sought Black "360 SOUND".
Mastered during Columbia’s legendary all-tube (valve) engineering era, this specific release is a holy grail for audiophiles, delivering a rich, holographic midrange warmth and punchy dynamics that modern reissues simply cannot replicate.
The dead wax tells the complete story of its pedigree, stamped with the primary Side A matrix code XSM 58382-2K and Side B matrix code XSM 58383-2E, alongside the distinct "P"stamp from Columbia’s revered Pitman Pressing Plant and the small "o" mark indicating master metalwork from the elite Customatrix plating division.
This rare collectible record will be shipped well padded in a heavy duty custom box with the disc removed from the cover.
