Additional release notes:
The information below chronicles the first release of the recordings outside of the original 78-rpm singles or the first time they were released at all.
With the invention of the microgroove LP, Blue Note compiled several of Monk"s original singles onto a 10-inch album, Genius Of Modern Music, Blue Note LP 5002, in 1951. To recreate the sequencing of the original LP, program your player as follows: Side A—Disc 1, tracks 3-6--9-15 / Side B—Disc 1, tracks 1-8-4-12.
Blue Note also issued the 10-inch album, Genius Of Modern Music Vol. 2, Blue Note LP 5009, in 1952. Its original sequence is as follows: Side A—Disc 1, tracks 20-17-18-7 / Side B—Disc 1, tracks 11-21-2-24. Both original 10-inch covers appear on the previous spread.
As the LP format grew to 12-inch size, Blue Note released Genius Of Modern Music Volume One, BLP-1510, and Genius Of Modern Music Volume 2, BLP-1511, in 1956; both covers are seen on the facing page. To recreate the sequencing of the original 12-inch Volume One, program your player as follows: Side A–Disc 1, tracks 3-6-9-15-19-7 / Side B—Disc 1, tracks 1-8-12-4-Disc 2, track 11-Disc 1, track 11. To recreate the sequencing of the original 12-inch Volume Two, program your player as follows: Side A—Disc 2, tracks 4-3-1-2, Disc 1, tracks 21-20-18-16-17-24. Note that for the latter release the label did not simply add four tracks to the 10-inch LP, they added six cuts and deleted "In Walked Bud" and "Humph" (Disc 1, tracks 7 and 11).
Blue Note also issued the tracks "Criss-Cross," "Eronel" and "Willow Weep For Me" (Disc 1, tracks 22-23-25) on the 10-inch album Milt Jackson, Wizard Of The Vibes, Blue Note LP 5011, in 1952. For a subsequent 12-inch LP release in 1956, Blue Note BLP-1509, the label renamed Jackson"s album Milt Jackson and the Thelonious Monk Quintet, and included, in addition to one track without Monk ("LIllie"), the recordings "Evidence," "Misterioso (alternate take)" and "Four In One (alternate take)" (Disc 1, track 10, and Disc 2, tracks 14 and 15).
Blue Note, with producer Michael Cuscuna at the helm, issued in 1976 a 2-LP set, The Complete Genius, BN-LA 579-H2, which included for the first time on LP "I Should Care" (Disc 1, track 14).
in 1983 Cuscuna licensed Monk"s sessions for a limited edition, 4-LP box set, The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Thelonious Monk, Mosaic Records MR4-101, which included all tracks noted above while adding for the first time the music heard on Disc 2, tracks 5–10, 12, 13, 16–22.
