R f,Thats a very nice collection of Monk LPs you have there!!Im a big fan of Monk.

Rushton,I have been listening to Ella doing Cole Porter the last couple nights and have to agree,sure does swing!

Prokfiev - Romeo & Juliet (complete) Maazel/Cleveland/Decca LP

Ellington - Jazz at the Plaza. I'm curious if anyone else is familiar with this astonishing series released by Columbia in the mid-70's. Apparently these were performances for Columbia record execs back in 1956 at some kind of small party. I've got another of the series, Miles Davis Vol.I with the identical cover art, and the sonics, as with the Ellington are superlative. What other LPs are in this series??

Raytheprinter, Thanks, so am I. Just got the bug for the Monk and after playing each album we just wanted to hear more. So I dug another one out. It became a late night listen. These are in beautiful shape for their age, someone took great care of them. I picked every one of them up second hand some years ago for cheap. It never ceases to amaze me how emotionally satisfying and compelling good vinyl is. Cheers!
