The record
A budget-label repackage that quietly reshuffles a prime Jazz Messengers lineup -- Morgan, Shorter, Timmons, Merritt, Blakey -- into unofficial circulation, uncredited but unmistakable. The kind of gray-market pressing that traded pedigree for access, letting one of the group's sharpest editions slip out sideways.
