After “Future Shock” and “Sound-System” it is his third studio LP made together with producer Bill Laswell. Recording took place at Quad Recording Studios in New York and Garage Sale Recording in Los Angeles, among others. Hancock works with a whole arsenal of synthesizers and samplers, joined by Bootsy Collins on bass, Sugarfoot of the Ohio Players on vocals, Mico Wave and turntablist Grand Mixer DXT. The result is electro-funk; “Maiden Voyage \/ P. Bop” revisits Hancock’s classic of the same name. This copy is the 1988 European original pressing (CBS 460679 1).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePressing details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel \/ Cat. no.:\u003c\/strong\u003e CBS 460679 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl LP, Album\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressing:\u003c\/strong\u003e EU original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1988\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/jazz\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/soul-funk\"\u003eSoul \u0026amp; Funk\u003c\/a\u003e, Jazz-Funk, Electronic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Second hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedia:\u003c\/strong\u003e NM-\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCover:\u003c\/strong\u003e VG+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraded to Goldmine standard (see \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/vinyl-grading\"\u003eVinyl Grading\u003c\/a\u003e).
