This was first released as In Paris on Laserdisc in 1991 (Japan) / 1992 (US), then as Paris 1969 on Blue Note in 2013 (with a CD/DVD as well as vinyl release).
My copy is the Vinyl Me, Please reissue from 2023, which sounds pretty decent – it’s a somewhat lofi recording to begin with (was taped for broadcast on French television) so I don’t think it is the pressing.
This is Monk live at the Salle Pleyel in Paris on December 15th, 1969, with Nate Hygelund, Charlie Rouse, and Philly Joe Jones / Paris Wright on drums. There’s a great DVD review by Thomas Cunniffe at Jazz History Online: Thelonious Monk: “Paris 1969” (Blue Note).
