The final Blue Note album by organist Larry Young, 1969's Mother Ship, bristled with unbridled kinetic energy while delivering soulful grooves. First released in 1980 in the LT Series, the set of Young originals featured Lee Morgan on trumpet, Herbert Morgan on tenor saxophone, and Eddie Gladden on drums. This stereo Blue Note Tone Poet Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket.
