FOR PERSONAL REASONS, I AM LOWERING THE PRICES ON ALL MY VINYL AND AUCTIONS - SOME FAR BELOW COMPETITIVE.

THIS 2-RECORD NEAR MINT 1973 LP SET IS A GATEFOLD EDITION THAT HAS NEVER BEEN OPENED AND STILL HAS THE FULL FACTORY SHRINK WRAP ON THE COMPLETE ALBUM.   

I AM TOLD THE MUSIC IS AWESOME AND CONSISTS OF SOME OF THE BEST JAZZ HYBRID MUSIC AROUND. OF COURSE, THE ALBUM IS PERFORMED BY THE INFAMOUS THELONIOUS MONK AND ENTITLED, "PURE MONK."  

IT WAS RECORDED  ON THE MILESTONE RECORD LABEL AND NUMBERED 47004.  THERE IS A TOTAL OF 21 SOLOS INCLUDED ON THE 2 RECORDS THAT HAVE NEVR SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY.  

THIS CAME FROM A HUGE PRESTIGOUS RECORD COLLECTION OF A CELEBRITY WHO WISHED TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS.  HE ALWAYS PLAYED ONE ALBUM AND HAD A SPARE THAT WAS USUALLY FACTORY SEALED SUCH AS THIS ONE. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET A FEW COPIES FROM HIS VAST COLLECTION. 

NEEDLESS TO SAY, GETTING A FACTORY-SEALED COPY OF THIS ISSUE IS ULTRA-RARE. ALL THE ORIGINAL INSERTS THAT CAME WITH THE GATEFOLD ALBUM ARE ASSUMED STILL INSIDE.  I AM NOT GONG TO BE ONE WHO OPENS THE SEALED ALBUM - THAT LUXURY GOES TO THE NEW OWNER.  IF YOU LOVE THE MUSICAL GENIUS OF PURE MONK JAZZ, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU. 

IT WAS HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH THE ALBUM WITH THE FACTORY SHRINK. YOU CAN SEE REFLECTIONS OF A CEILING CHANDLIER I HAVE OVERHEAD IN ONE PHOTO.  OF COURSE, THAT IS NOT ON THE ACTUAL ALBUM.

HOWEVER, I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO SHOW JUST HOW NICE THE CONDITION IS OF ALL MY RECORD ALBUMS AND VINYL.  AS SUCH, I HAVE POSTED AS MANY PHOTOS AS I COULD THAT ARE INDICATIVE OF THE ALBUM COVERS, LABELS (WHEN LP IS OPENED), THE VINYL (WHEN LP IS OPENED), ETC. YOU CAN SEE THE EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE ENTIRE PACKAGE AS IT EXISTS.  OF COURSE, THE DOUBLE LP IS SEALED, AND PHOTOS OF THE ALBUM ARE INCLUDED WITH THE RECORDS INSIDE THAT HAVE NEVER SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY. - SEE PHOTOS.
