Eight Classic Albums

~ Release by Thelonious Monk (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

I suspect that tracks 5 and 6 on disc 1 (Let's Call This / Think of One ) may be swapped. The listed time for track 6 matches the only known take of Let's Call This, while both takes of Think of One are around 5:40. Anyone able to confirm/deny?
