    I dont mess w/Applause issues... I'll hold out even for a late-period BN reish... the couple Applauses that I've heard were like Pickwick quality

    I think Applause was a budget label, going by their weird packaging. In the '80s, before Blue Note became the hot retro company with the cratediggers, I used to see Applause LP's all over the place, reissuing Blue Note elpees right and left.

    Honorable mention...FLOOD.

    what's the Live album where he plays w/ 2 or three different groups.

    One group has Wah Wah Watson & Ray Parker Jr.
    The other is the Headhunters cats and the other might be Hubbard and them.

    I cant seem to find it at his website. double album steez.

    HAha. Actually I really like Tell Everybody. Funkay, Diskoo...

    I also like I Thought It Was You from Sunlight. But neither of those albums belongs in a best albums thread.


    Luckily it's a favourite LP thread.

    Nice one. I'd not heard it either. Google say:

    "For the rabid audiophiles in Japan, Herbie Hancock went to Tokyo to record a direct-to-disc LP that later became one of the world's earliest CD releases. Due perhaps to the arduous one-take-only nature of the direct-to-disc process, Hancock takes the rare step of using a second keyboardist, Webster Lewis, to handle the multiple electronic textures; the rest of the cast is a quorum of Headhunters (Bennie Maupin, reeds; Paul Jackson, bass; Bill Summers, percussion), plus guitarist Ray Obiedo and drummer Alphonse Mouzon. Understandably, the music sometimes sounds a bit inhibited and structured but there are some refreshingly jarring rhythmic disruptions in "Butterfly," "Shiftless Shuffle" eventually develops a fine roadhouse groove, and the extended "I Thought It Was You" cuts the original version on Sunlight. The excellent LP sound is superior to that of the CD -- especially the rock-solid bass and drums. Richard S. Ginell, All Music Guide"

    And here it is, in all it's 128K glory!

    (No hatt to the shaer btw - 128 is better than 0)

    Its hard to pick a favorite as i celebrate his catalog. One lp that hasn't been mentioned but I dig is Dedication a Japanese direct cutting solo LP he recorded in 74 i think. Nobu sounds like minimal techno as he builds up loops of himself. Also came with a very dope poster.

    Anyone know the story behind why Hancock & Freddie Hubbard had a fallin out in early 80's? Which is why Wynton Marsalis was recruited for the V.S.O.P gigs.
