Good reissue for the price. Monk's piano distorts at times.

Excellent pressing. It's got a big and bold sound while still being extremely detailed and nuanced.

this was recorded in 1953 and 1954? GIVE ME A BREAK. It sounds marvelous I am shocked to say the least; sounds better than recordings from 30 years later. Music is very nice also

This is a repress RVG series from 1964, there are a lot of them with the same label and ring, you can check. For example:

This compilation gathers material originally released on three separate 10" records, and was recorded at three different sessions, but flows naturally. Sonny Rollins appears on three of the five songs. My copy comes from the old WSGE vinyl collection, and while the jacket has seen better days, the vinyl has been treated well. This mono pressing sounds very good, with warmth and depth typical of so many RVG recordings of the era.

Is it confirmed this was released in 1956? By the looks of the catalog number, this should be early 1957. PRLP 7073 and 7074 are from 1957, so how was this released in '56? Prestige catalog experts should chime in.

Astounding sounding LP, mono-mixed to perfection, with dead-silent vinyl. Monk & Rollins play their asses off!

Very good pressing, flat, good dynamics and quiet. Two words.
