Talk:Thelonious Monk discography

Deep Groove Mono Monk discography page
this page might be a good resource for completing details about Monk's discography, including artwork and release dates, currently we are missing info about the early Prestige 10" LPs in particular J Edward Malone (talk) 23:10, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Prestige 10" lp's reissued
Monk's five 10" lp's for Prestige were reissued in facsimile format last December, by Craft Recordings, in a box set, similar to the Miles Davis box sets from a few years back. These five original 10" lp's really should be documented in our discography. This was how the Prestige material was originally released. The 12" lp's currently listed were all compilations reformatting the same material after 1955, when the 10" format was discontinued. These albums are all listed in discogs, jazzdisco, and other websites, but the information is missing here.

this page advertising the box set gives basic info for each of the five lp's: https://thevinylfactory.com/news/thelonious-monk-prestige-box-set/

Amen, J Edward Malone. I have attempted to correct this and my edits were reversed. I've tried again. Let's see if it will take. I would love to find photos of these EPs that Wikipedia will accept. They don't consider "Discogs" to be legit, but in fact it has some of the only scans of these historically important but very rare albums.Sojambi Pinola (tai lk) 03:53, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

J Edward Malone, I have now created pages for those five albums. Apparently someone has taken it upon himself to rate these albums as "non-notable." As you seem to care about these albums as I do, please support my efforts to protect these pages. Thank you. Sojambi Pinola (talk) 01:02, 16 October 2019 (UTC) .

good gawd, Sojambi!!!, thank you so much. Just by coincidence I looked up Monk's discography tonight and was pleasantly surprised to see someone had finally edited in the correct information. This is indeed something I started to do a few years ago but gave up on because I couldn't waste time arguing online when there was real life to worry about. I may comment on details another day when I get a chance, but I am very glad to see wikipedia now accurately documents Monk's Prestige releases. J Edward Malone (talk) 03:40, 7 November 2019 (UTC)


 * I so appreciate this comment. I've been feeling like I was shouting into the wind on this stuff.


 * I could REALLY use your support right now, as I'm being threatened with blocking for just trying to make these pages chronologically accurate and navigable. If you recheck some old Monk and early (1940's) Miles Davis talk pages, you will see just how aligned you and I are on this stuff, and that your struggles are my struggles.  If you go to my talk page, you will see that my "mental health" and "competence" are being questioned. Anyway, maybe you and I can work together on improving these pages.


 * In fact, go to my userpage, and feel free to track me down off Wikipedia. I mean it.  Perhaps foolishly, I'm not so hard to find.  Sojambi Pinola (talk) 02:27, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 * No. Recently, you were warned once of the possibility of a block, if you continue your repeated course of action, where you attribute claims and wording to sources that do not explicitly verify them, which is against Wikipedia's policy of no original research. Please do not misrepresent this as "being threatened with blocking for just trying to make these pages chronologically accurate and navigable", as this makes you seem delusional and playing victim. isento (talk) 05:43, 22 November 2019 (UTC)


 * We can continue this on my talk page and I can back everything up, if we _really_ need to go there. I was careful not to bring your username into the chat here, but so be it. Sojambi Pinola (talk) 06:55, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Discography sorting
Perhaps the discography would be better arranged 10", 12", compilation, single, extra, rather than by label TlonicChronic (talk) 22:01, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Removed compilations

 * Midnight at Minton's (c.1941, issued 1973 under Don Byas' name. Monk does not play on all tracks of this or the other two CDs of 1941 material)

 * After Hours in Harlem (c.1941, issued 1973 under Hot Lips Page's name)
