The album is the band's first to feature new member, synthesizer player Patrick Gleeson. He was scheduled to "set up his Moog synthesiser for Hancock to play."

V.S.O.P. is a 1977 double live album by pianist and keyboard player Herbie Hancock, featuring acoustic jazz performances by the V.S.O.P. Quintet, and jazz fusion and jazz-funk performances by the Mwandishi band and The Headhunters. The concert was advertised as a "Herbie Hancock Retrospective," and Miles Davis, who was several months into his temporary retirement, was advertised as playing with the Shorter-Carter-Williams band, thereby reconstituting the Davis "Second Quintet" for the first time since 1969. However, on the night of the show, a handwritten sign was posted on the door to the lobby, announcing that Davis would not be playing, but that Freddie Hubbard would be appearing in his place.
