THELONIOUS MONK More Genius Of Thelonious Monk VINYL LP (Japan) Blue Note – BNJ 61011  

(1985 –  see picture above for track listing. Seems to be 1952 Genius of Modern Music tracks using a variation 

of the Vol 1 cover. Limited Edition. Possibly Japan only?) 

Record Grade: EX+ to M-

(No spindle marks, looks unplayed.)
Cover Grade: around (EX to) EX+
(Beautiful cover - no bends, no splits, no shelf wear, no dings. Japanese language insert is also clean.  Obi is near mint. The only issue is a bit of a raised patch on the back where possibly a sticker has been removed ... which has distorted/torn the words High Fidelity - see pic  above. Otherwise - it's all good.)
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.
