Thelonious Monk
Chris Sheridan, in his book "Brilliant Corners: A Bio-discography of Thelonious Monk", dates the first 12-inch vinyl release of the album—"Thelonious Monk" (Prestige PRLP 7053)—to 1956. Its release was preceded in the Prestige 12-inch catalog of Monk's work by "Thelonious Monk Trio" (Prestige PRLP 7027), and followed by "Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins" (Prestige PRLP 7075).
