ART BLAKEY & THE JAZZ MESSENGERS The Freedom Rider (1964 US first press 5-track mono LP on the 'New York' address Blue Note label, with 'Van Gelder' machine stamped in the run-outs along the 'ear' etching. Features the last recording of the marvellous Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, Bobby Timmons, Jymie Merritt & Blakey line-up, pasted laminate picture sleeve. The sleeve is Excellent with nice & clean panels & only the lightest spot of corner wear. The vinyl grades VG/VG+ & shows some minor spindle marks & the odd faint hairline not upsetting the sound on a mono playback setting. A great record! BLP4156)
