Description

Herbie Hancock – Head Hunters

Columbia Records – KC 32731

1973 US pressing


Early copy with 1A / 1B matrices:


Side 1: P AL 32731-1A

Side 2: P BL 32731-1B


Condition: Sleeve VG / Vinyl VG


Vinyl: VG

Play tested in full. The vinyl retains very nice gloss and presents well visually. There is a small white speck/mark on Side 1 as shown in the photos and some minor sleeve scuffs.


Playback has noticeable low-level surface noise, most apparent during the lead-ins, between tracks and in quieter passages. There are some areas of recurring crackle, including a few repeated crackles/ticks near the beginning of Side 1, Track 2. Once the music gets going and the arrangements become fuller, the surface noise generally falls beneath the music. No skips. Despite the audible surface noise, this is still an enjoyable listening copy.


No skips and no prominent repeating ticks noted. Despite the audible surface noise, this is still an enjoyable listening copy.


Sleeve: VG

Original jacket shows age-related shelf, edge and corner wear, rubbing/scuffing and other general signs of handling. Please see the detailed photos for condition.


A desirable early US copy of this landmark Herbie Hancock album with the 1A/1B matrix combination.


Play tested on a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge. Playback characteristics can vary depending on turntable, cartridge and setup.


Record will ship in a new anti-static inner sleeve and protective outer sleeve. The original inner sleeve, if pictured, will also be included. Record will be removed from the jacket for shipping to help prevent seam splits.


Photos are part of the description and show the actual record you will receive.
