Isaac Hayes "Shaft"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Stax, UK, 1989, SX2 021, 029667082112, 2xLP, Remastered, Reissue, Gatefold Sleeve

Isaac Hayes’ 1971 soundtrack for the Gordon Parks film Shaft stands as a cinematic soul classic that bridged the gap between Hollywood film scoring and gritty Memphis R&B. Released as a double album on Stax Records, it was a massive commercial triumph, earning Hayes a historic Academy Award. While the legendary title track anchors the album, the record is a deeply ambitious, highly influential cross-section of progressive 1970s soul, jazz fusion, and functional incidental cues.
