About this copy: This copy of The Modern Jazz Quartet Plays One Never Knows is a 1968 U.S. stereo pressing on the green Atlantic label.
The laminated cover is M- with a tiny corner dent. This is a mono cover with “STEREO DISC” stamped on the front.
The green label stereo disc is VG+ on side one with a couple of sleeve scuffs and a couple of hairlines through the final track. Side two is VG++ and close to M- with a couple of faint sleeve scuffs. It’s a clean disc that plays well.
A nice copy of a pretty good MJQ album that’s hard to find as a first pressing, especially in stereo.

Allmusic.com gave The Modern Jazz Quartet Plays One Never Knows a 3 star review:
This recording has six John Lewis compositions that were used in the French film No Sun in Venice. The music is quite complex and disciplined, making this set of lesser interest to fans who prefer to hear Milt Jackson playing bebop-oriented blues. However the versatile group was perfect for this type of music and these thought-provoking performances reward repeated listenings.
