Due to COVID-19 and its impact on manufacturing, we are experiencing pre-order delays more frequently. We’ll keep the estimated ship months as up to date as possible, but please be advised.

If you have multiple products in your order, you can choose the ‘Direct Ship’ option to receive products as they become available in multiple shipments. Otherwise, they will be grouped in a single shipment (or your next ROTM shipment for members) after all products are received at our warehouse.

Since pre-order albums are not available to ship until the manufacturing completes, the actual ship date can shift. If there is a delay, we will always contact you.

Description


Paul Jackson was a founding member of the Headhunters under Herbie Hancock (THE group responsible for their ground-breaking fusion and jazz-funk compositions that took the world by storm in the 70's). Talented bassist, composer, and producer made five solo albums including Black Octopus which is considered to be a kind of lost Headhunters album featuring Alphonse Mouzon, Roy Ayers, Betty Davis, Azar Lawrence Bennie Maupin and Herbie Hancock. 

Limited to 300 copies, the VMP exclusive version of Paul Jackson's Black Octopus is pressed on 180g Gold (AAA) vinyl at Precision Record Pressing (PRP). The 1LP will arrive in a single, direct-to-board, foil-stamped and numbered jacket.
