Thelonious Monk Quartet* - Misterioso (LP, Album, Mono) (VG / G+)

Media Condition: Very Good (VG)
Sleeve Condition: Good Plus (G+)

USA original, hard to find in UK (or anywhere!). Disc has many light surface marks but no deep scuffs or scratches that would affect play. Labels have a bit of spindle wear but otherwise fine. Sleeve has wear to corners, edges, spine etc, ageing/discolouration, top seam split from opening slot (approx 3 inches) hence G+ grading. Well-used copy but still got some mileage left in it. Ask for photos if needed
