Johnny Hammond — Gears, on 180-gram vinyl!

Part of the Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf Series from Craft Recordings!

Mastered from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio

Pressed at RTI, packaged in a tip-on jacket

Marking Johnny Hammond's first album with Milestone Records, the jazz-funk opus Gears garnered critical acclaim upon its release and was a Top 40 hit on Billboard's Jazz chart. Single "Los Conquistadores Chocolatés" was a crossover success, landing in the Top 5 of Billboard's Dance Club Songs and Disco Singles charts. In the decades since its release, however, Gears has only grown in its cult status, being sampled by the likes of Erykah Badu and Kendrick Lamar.

The album was cut from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and pressed on audiophile-quality 180-gram vinyl at RTI. The LP is housed in a tip-on jacket, featuring faithfully reproduced original artwork.
