(Note: "Crepuscule With Nellie" is missing from most or all true stereo vinyl releases of the album, even when listed, through at least the 1960s (see explanation above).

The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001. A 1977 Japanese vinyl version appears to be the first true stereo release that also includes the (mono) "Crepuscule with Nellie". The 1967 "stereo" pressing (RS 3004) distributed by ABC Records was an "electronically reprocessed" version of the mono mix.
THELONIOUS MONK ALBUMS SERIAL NUMBER
A circa-1965 stereo re-release with serial number RLP 12-9242 also skipped "Crepuscule with Nellie", even though it was listed on the label and cover. The original stereo LP release did not list "Crepuscule with Nellie" on its label or cover track listing (although it was referenced in the liner notes), and did not include it on the album, though the mono version always included the piece. This was one of our very first stereo recordings (although the separate machine failed us on Crepuscule) confusingly, the monaural version has sometimes been used in reissues, but I have managed to include here in stereo form everything that is available in that form. In the notes to the 1986 Riverside Monk box, Keepnews wrote: Among other things, every musician found himself surrounded by a doubled quantity of microphones.” Thus, on this and several subsequent occasions, ‘binaural’ was an entirely separate operation.
THELONIOUS MONK ALBUMS PORTABLE
Studio engineer Jack Higgins presided at his usual control panel our staff engineer Ray Fowler was in the soundproof isolation booths in the studio with a newfangled portable stereo tape recorder. But we had to deal with the fact that the studio had not yet taken the drastic step of converting to the new process: the installed equipment at Reeves Sound Studios (on 2nd Avenue between 44th and 45th Streets in Manhattan) was still monaural.
THELONIOUS MONK ALBUMS SERIES
Our new stereo series had begun with a sound effects disc, so Riverside 1102 was our first stereo jazz album. As a result, the stereo mix has a more distant sound and Wilbur Ware's bass is much less audible. The stereo mix, while featuring the same performances as does the mono version, used an entirely different set of microphones, suspended from the ceiling, while the mono release used microphones in closer proximity to the instruments. It has been noted that the mixes of these releases are extremely different. The stereo version was released 9 months after the mono, in August 1958. This was the first Riverside Thelonious Monk album recorded and released in both mono (RLP 12-242) and stereo (RLP 1102). John Coltrane had joined Monk after playing with the Miles Davis Quintet, and Monk can be heard enthusiastically calling on him ("Coltrane! Coltrane!") to take the first horn solo on the album in " Well, You Needn't." All of the songs except one are original compositions by Monk all of the originals but "Crepuscule with Nellie" had appeared on previous Monk albums and singles in prior performances. The song " Ruby, My Dear" is performed only by Monk, Coleman Hawkins, Wilbur Ware, and Art Blakey. Monk-is played only by the septet's horn section. The first song, " Abide With Me"-a hymn by W.
