This is a sealed, classic jazz vinyl LP of Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage" album, released by Blue Note Records in the United States on September 24, 2021. The record is in a cardboard sleeve and has a near mint condition. It features hard bop and modal jazz styles, mastered from original analog tapes and pressed on 180-220 gram vinyl. With a 12" size and 33 RPM speed, this reissue edition captures the essence of the 1960s era, making it a valuable addition to any jazz enthusiast's collection.

Note: There is a small crease line on the lower left corner. I graded it Near Mint (NM or M-).

About Maiden Voyage:

Maiden Voyage is the fifth album led by jazz musician Herbie Hancock, and was recorded by Rudy Van Gelder on March 17, 1965, for Blue Note Records. It was issued as BLP 4195 and BST 84195. Featuring Hancock with tenor saxophonist George Coleman, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams, it is a concept album aimed at creating an oceanic atmosphere. As such, many of the track titles refer to marine biology or the sea, and the musicians develop the concept through their use of space.

The album was presented with the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999.
