I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.
Album on CD right now is Monk the Complete Prestige recordings
....which interestingly starts off on CD1 with 4 tracks from 1944 almost a decade before he was on Prestige , but by the time of this CD collection (2000) Fantasy owned them from the original Joe Davis label as well as Prestige ...they are very welcome early Monk
....with Monk as a sideman rather than the Leader to Coleman Hawkins on tenor sax, Edward "Bass" Robinson on ....guesss ....ok well bass.... and Denzil Best on drums for Flyin Hawk, Recollections, Drifting on a Reed and On the Bean ...
Then we head off to Prestige only 25 tracks in total between 1952-54 ...and Rudy Van Gelders touch iirc ....and that period brings in Arty Blakey, Sonny Rollins and Miles Davis to name a few of the headliners ..... all in all 59.31 and AAD ...

I have been trying to find a copy of this album for over a year at a sensible price, particularly this release, and at last I found one. I was rather please yesterday when I unpackaged it to find it was in fact a sealed NOS, the only slight glitch being a faint scratch to the rear of the sleeve. I love Roger Water's studios albums, I just need to get the first one now. I already have "Amused to Death" on CD, so I am familiar with it, however on vinyl it just seems to come to life. The Qsound mixing/recording method used gives an expansive soundstage and sometimes some of the sounds and effect on the recording make you jump, very entertaining.
