Blue Note Classic Series 180-Gram Black Vinyl

In 1956, Blue Note transitioned from the 10" to the 12" LP and began the 1500 Series releasing two expanded Monk compilations, including Genius Of Modern Music, Vol. 2 (BLP 1511), which presented classic Monk tunes like “Straight No Chaser,” “Four In One” and “Monk’s Mood,” and featured one of Reid Miles’ earliest cover designs for the label.

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is mono, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray, and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Optimal.
