Description

A seismic shift in jazz history, Head Hunters marked Herbie Hancock’s full embrace of funk and electronic experimentation. This Analogue Productions reissue is pressed on ultra-premium 200 gram vinyl, mastered by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound and plated at Quality Record Pressings. Housed in a deluxe tip-on jacket by Stoughton Printing, it’s a collector-grade edition of one of the highest-selling jazz albums of all time.

Featuring the legendary Headhunters lineup—Bennie Maupin, Paul Jackson, Harvey Mason, and Bill Summers—the album blends deep grooves with exploratory textures. From the 15-minute funk odyssey Chameleon to the reimagined Watermelon Man, this pressing reveals the full sonic depth of Hancock’s analog synths, Rhodes piano, and Afrocentric rhythms.
