Head Hunters — 1973

The album that fused jazz with funk and sold in huge numbers, anchored by the slinky 'Chameleon'. Groove-led and irresistible. A fusion landmark. The one in the run that sometimes gets overlooked — don't let it.

On vinyl: Both originals and reissues can sound excellent — the mastering matters more than the era.
