Additional:
The Cd release added extra track #13, previously issued in another Columbia LP.
The Sony remastered release includes 8 additional tracks.
All of these have been reissued as part of the Complete Columbia box set, which serious Monk fans probably already own.
An excellent Monk release, in the mature Columbia period, although beginners may prefer trying a non-solo album first.
