Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB and virtually FLAWLESS condition vinyl LP on the Prestige Records label (reissued in 1982 in the great Original Jazz Classics OJC series) and a classic jazz recording by pianist and composer THELONIOUS MONK titled "Thelonious Monk"--the album features remarkable trio performances by ART BLAKEY or MAX ROACH on drums and GARY MAPP or PERCY HEATH on bass and includes the Monk classics "Blue Monk," "Monk's Dream," "Trinkle Tinkle," "Bemsha Swing," "Reflections," "Bya-Ya," and "Little Rootie Tootie" and brilliant interpretations of the standards "Sweet and Lovely," "These Foolish Things," and "Just a Gigolo."  The LP was recorded on October 15, 1952, December 18, 1952 and September 22, 1954.  The LP is a 1982 Prestige / Original Jazz Classics issue with the serial number OJC-010 (originally issued as P-7027), a MONO issue (there is no true stereo version of this recording) and was made in the United States.
This LP is in SUPERB and virtually FLAWLESS condition and the vinyl is in NEAR MINT condition and should play beautifully, with just a few slight paper scuffs that should not affect play and NO significant imperfections; the cover is also in NM condition with just very slight ding on the lower right tip and NO other significant flaws--it's NOT a cutout!  The original plain white inner sleeve is also included.
Please Note:  I CAN ship records outside of the United States but will need to get a weight estimate based on the final PACKAGED weight for this record--I cannot ship for the $4.00 U.S. Media Rate and the quoted International Shipping Rate may differ from the final shipping rate due to packaged weight differences so please wait to make payment until a final invoice is received. Thanks!

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++) A very clean record that has no marks aside from slight scuffs and abrasions caused by removal from a paper inner sleeve or perhaps a few marks on the label caused by a turntable spindle.

Very Good Plus (VG+) A record that has had a number of plays and may have some superficial scuffs, possibly mild to moderate spindle marks and / or possibly hairline scratches on the vinyl, which may produce some intermittent pops and possibly very light background noise.

Very Good (VG) A record that has generally been well cared for, but has seen a fair amount of play, with some scuffing. hairline scratches, spindle marks and / or light scratches.  Should play through well, with the possibility of more pops and more background noise.

Very Good Minus (VG-)  A record with significant scuffs, scratches, and spindle marks that should play through with moderate pops and surface noise, possibly of some duration.

Good (G) A record with will play through, but with significant pops, substantial background noise, and possibly intermittent skipping.

Poor (P) A record with MAJOR issues that will interfere with play, and will possibly be unplayable in part due to damage (I'll only offer an LP in this condition if it's an extreme rarity and / or for cover art display purposes).

A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this vinyl LP!
