Talk:Monk (1956 album)

Cover Art
Cover art is by Andy Warhol — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.11.176.37 (talk) 06:57, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

In answer to a question left in revision history: The 1958 Warhol cover has become the standard cover on digital reissues, but it is not the 1956 original. The only reason I didn't switch them is the constant rigid policing of this and other Monk pages. Similar situation exists for "Unique Thelonious Monk", "Nica's Tempo," and "Birth of the Cool"-- so original art is shown lower down the page. Original art typicaly exists on "Primary Source"-style discography sites. Perhaps Wikipedia should sharpen its "common sense" clauses to allow for this inarguably useful information, when no other online source is available. If the albums themselves were allowed as sources, as offline books are, this would not be an issue.

The ongoing LP labels showing album title as "...Quintets" are a similar situation. Sojambi Pinola (talk) 15:21, 23 October 2019 (UTC)


 * The title and subject of the article is Monk (1954 album), not Monk (year of reissue). Dan56 (talk) 01:21, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * One could title the article Monk (Prestige album) and avoid all this talk of when the album was released. The sessions are from 1953-4, which is why people often refer to it as a "1954" album.  It's all in how you look at it.  Sojambi Pinola (talk) 21:06, 24 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Wow @ "Avoid all this talk of when the album was released." Dan56 (talk) 22:00, 24 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Point being that as there is ongoing debate about what year to assign the album, we could keep the year out of the article's title, while still differentiating it from the Columbia album of the same title (which is the reason for the date in the page's title, anyway). Point further being, trying to find solutions that perhaps we can _both_ agree on. Are you? Sojambi Pinola (talk) 04:02, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
