AC,
Try Amoeba Music. One of the best and largest used record stores I have ever seen. There is one in SF (Haight Street, I visit when I can) and one in Berkeley.
http://www.amoeba.com/
Lots of everything: LPs, CDs, videos, books, etc. Music from around the world. And their hours are late. Happy searching.

H&B,
I finally made it to Amoeba in the Haight. Unfortunately they did not have Monk's Music at the store, but they offer free shipping, so I ordered a copy. Fortunately they packaged it well, as my mailman decided it should fit into the slot of my mail box. No harm, no foul, though and after a quick dip in my SpinClean and a pass through my NittyGritty it made it onto the 'table.

Thanks again for the tip!
Evan

From the All Music review linked below, "Additionally, Blakey is in top form, with a solo that borders on spastic precision" made me smile.

Which version/label/year did you pick up? Monk's Music is my favorite Monk album which I have only on CD at this point.
