Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers - The Freedom Rider
1966 Division of Liberty Stereo reissue
I posted a white B label Freedom Rider I got not too long ago, but I sent that one back for not having a "VAN GELDER" stamp as it claimed. I decided to go for something a little better and got this. This does have the "VAN GELDER" "STEREO" stamps.


Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers - Mosaic
1978 white B UA reissue
This is kind of interested to me because it has an "RVG STEREO" stamp, whereas my understanding is that this stamper usually denotes earlier pressings, with "VAN GELDER" appearing on later represses. Gonna have to look into what this means. Same stamper used even longer? Hope not.

Grant Green - Idle Moments
This MMJ I scored for a nice price replaces my 75th Anniversary copy. Gonna be looking to PIF that out soon.
