Description
Thelonious Monk "Genius of Modern Music Volume 2" original pressing from 1956 on Blue Note heavy vinyl deep groove Mono BLP-1511 with RVG and the "ear" the catalog number and "9M" hand etched in dead wax. Label has address of 161 Lexington Ave on both sides (however the sleeve has the address of 47 west 63rd street...a mismatch?).
Record has many fine marks and a handful or less of larger ones, ( including two particularly heavy ones, which actually did nothing to the play test). Cleaned and carefully inspected, as well as play tested and mostly plays beautifully!
Very light crackles occasionally on side 1. Mostly barely audible, not very disruptive even to deep listening, obviously more present during quieter parts but even then not so bad. 1 very very quick light "skip" or jump on side 1 "Suburban Eyes" going into the solo but barely even disrupts the flow. No other skips or pops. Side 2 has a bit heavier of a crackle in some parts, but even still it mostly gets masked when the band comes in.
So no other skips or loud pops besides the minimal one mentioned above. Audio sample available upon request. Just beautiful deep monk tones!
Sleeve has been repaired - had split seams on 2 sides but has fixed with archival glue. Was wiped down with denatured alcohol to remove some spotting, but still has some spotting from age. One corner is cut or chipped off, one corner heavily creased. Small tear on back, probably from a sticker.
Please ask any questions or for audio samples, ready and willing to provide!
