Original 10-inch LPs

Before their eventual formulation into three somewhat haphazard, non-chronological 12-inch LPs, Thelonious Monk's Prestige output consisted of five strictly chronological 10-inch (shorter-duration) LPs. The LPs were re-released by Craft Records in a limited edition in 2017. The LPs were released in the 1950s as follows:^[2][3][4][5]

• Thelonious Monk Trio: Thelonious (Prestige PrLP 142) – recorded on October 15, 1952 (side A) and December 18, 1952 (side B)
• Thelonious Monk Quintet Blows For LP, Featuring Sonny Rollins (Prestige PrLP 166) – recorded on November 13, 1953
• Thelonious Monk Quintet (with Frank Foster, Art Blakey) (Prestige PrLP 180) – recorded on May 11, 1954
• Thelonious Monk Plays (with Percy Heath and Art Blakey) (Prestige PrLP 189) – recorded on September 22, 1954
• Sonny Rollins and Thelonious Monk (Prestige PrLP 190) – recorded on October 25, 1954,

The majority of the contents of the first 4 of these five LPs were released, sequenced mostly in order, on a Prestige double-LP compilation in 1972, PR/PRT 24006, Thelonious Monk. The exception was the take of "Think of One" selected; on the compilation, Take 1 was used instead of the originally-selected Take 2.
