You got it!
Herbie Hancock - Headhunters
This album is one of my all time favorites and would probably be my "deserted island" record. It is just funky and has stayed fresh all these years for me. If I ever get an earworm that I don't want in my head, I always think of this album to free my mind. I very well could have chosen this one for the RotM, but figured my other selection may get more fresh ears on it.
So there are about a 100 or more variants of this record, but it does have a 200g option and 45 RPM options. There was a bit of a dust-up in the discogs editing wars over the 180 vs 200g, which made me think of that clue. Bennie Maupin plays several saxophones on this. This album while technically not a solo album, Herbie Hancock is the main artist and he plays keyboards obviously.
And random thought with this album.... It is conceivable that yours truly was conceived with this record since it was released in October of 1973.... I was born about 9 months later!!
Note this is NOT the RotM, but for those that do not have this, here are a few links to purchase:

This is one of Herbie's funkiest records andone of the best selling albums in Jazz, due to the fact it appealed to a broad audience - think Hip Hop, Funk, Soul & Jazz Funk fans

As a wannabe audiophile, I do recommend the acoustic sounds versions. They are top notch, especially the 45rpm version, a bit pricey but worth it to me.
As for the actual RotM....
The
Caroline Rose clue and the
other clue have a potentially important shared meaning...
