Limited edition on purple colored vinyl. A landmark album that hardly needs any introduction - as it's one of the most famous soundtracks, if not soul records, of the 70s! Isaac Hayes had already surprised music fans with the sophistication of his first few solo albums, which had been issued before this one - but with Shaft, he did the inconceivable, as the album was one of the first times a pop musician had scored, not just sung on, an entire soundtrack. Plus, the soundtrack's super-huge - running as a double-length batch of tracks that was a rarity for the often-slim soundtrack market. Includes many great funky numbers - both vocal and instrumental - including "Theme from Shaft", "Cafe Regio's", "Walk from Regio's", "Bumpy's Lament", and "Do Your Thing", in the nice 19 minute long version!
