This gem appears never to have been posted and there's not much Monk here.
maybe we can get a mini-flood going?

Though titled "The First European Concert" he did record in Paris in 1954 and I'd assume played some date/s
around that? It appears to be the first of many 1960's European concerts though.


The Transfer:

This is an EAC straight to FLAC with TLH for the obligatories.
Nothing has been changed on this error free copy!

NOTE:

This is for free trade only. Not to be bought or sold (though had to be liberated to reach that blissful
state).
