ARTIST: Thelonious Monk
LABEL: Blue Note LP 5002 (1952 Mono)
TITLE: Genius of Modern Music Volume 1
CONDITION:
Sleeve: VG to VG+ / The top seam has been nicely repaired w/ heavy red textured cloth tape that discreetly kind of matches the red in the rest of the front cover. Has some front cover ring wear, a small very light crease near the spine just under his glasses. The spine has some wear w/ a small spot of loss of black color at the top but no splits. The bottom seam has a fair amount of wear w/ loss of black color but not splits. The back cover has some yellowing/aging mostly along the left side which also has a small light stain at the bottom left corner. Also has a small store stamp in red (from Seymour's Record Mart, Chicago), tiny original $3.95 price in pencil at top near the red tape.
Record: Still retains nice gloss but has been played a lot as eveidenced by a fair amount of light surface scuffs and some light scratches (nothing serious). Plays VG to VG+ w/ pretty consistent moderate background surface noise that is quieter than the music. Still has nice sound presence./ VPI cleaned
