Head Hunters

Released 1973Jazz
Classic

The album that fused jazz with funk and sold in huge numbers, anchored by the slinky 'Chameleon'. Groove-led and irresistible. A fusion landmark. Released in 1973, it's a key entry in Herbie Hancock's run.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
