Description
ORIGINAL VERSION
- FIRST UK PRESSING - ... HERBIE HANCOCK ...
- "HEAD HUNTERS" -
This is a private sale - from my own, personal, collection - I am not a record dealer.
One of my 'cherished' albums - and in great shape as a result.
It comes as a single sleeve album (low sheen laminate both sides), with its iconic Victor Moscoso cover.
It plays well on my unforgiving Bang & Olufsen turntable - some slight ambient hissing and crackling at run-in/run-out ... ... but, no scratches, 'issues' or problematic noise.
(See below for full report)
Time to let it go - to someone, somewhere - who can better appreciate the vinyl experience.

CONDITION - The Album Cover Front in extremely good condition - with no gouges, cuts, rips, writing, stickers, creases or whatever.
Even the leading edge corners are free from bumps and bruises ... ... perhaps a hint of colour loss (fade) along spine and top edge (near imperceptible, even with 20:20 vision!). Rear Cover similarly shows lack of wear ... again: maybe some faint fading along the spine. Simply: Fabulous - Near Mint - Condition !
CONDITION - The Paper Inner Poly-Sleeve See image. The original plain white Inner has evident VERY MILD 'ageing' - i.e. discolouration around edges.
No rips, tears, 'knife-cuts'. Absolutely no other 'wear and tear'.
CONDITION - The Vinyl Visually, both sides are in excellent ("Very Good (plus)") condition: just some soft abrasion swooshes from the inner. All surfaces have been kept carefully cleaned and (as humanly possible) dust-free.
Under scrutiny of my 'natural light' task lamp, there is one tiny blemish on Side A /Track 1 - but this
doesn't register audibly - so is, thankfully, superficial only.
Side B is free from any such marks.
Having play-tested both sides. With MAXIMUM treble and NO bass, there is a subtle background 'presence' ...
... but this natural 'ambience' is part of the customary vinyl experience.
This still delivers a resonant, rich and vivid sound with great bass response. Fabulous!
Simply: there is nothing to devalue the overall listening experience.
CONDITION - The Record Labels All are in perfect condition (I've shown them all in my images) and reveal no spindle marks.
OVERALL CONDITION and 'SIGN OFF' ... I have described the content and condition of this item honestly and in good faith ... ... so that you won't be subject to any nasty surprises !
I am not a record dealer, as I have said, but I have been strictly guided by the Discogs 'Goldmine Standard' grading, by my own visual inspection and by my own test-playing.
Simply and finally:
The VINYL - I would describe as NEAR MINT
The ALBUM COVER - I would describe as MINT/NEAR MINT
A WONDERFUL CLEAN/CRISP SLICE OF EARLY '70's JAZZ-FUNK. A SEMINAL ALBUM. TERRIFIC!
POSTAGE/DELIVERY (UK) £4.00 p&p for UK - Second Class 'Tracked & Signed For' (Small Parcel)
(Will be safely and securely protected and boxed for transit) I will retain the 'Proof of Posting' receipt - and send you the Tracking Reference.
