Shaft - Music From The Soundtrack reissued and available here on Double 180 Gram LP.

Shaft certainly deserves mention as not only one of the most lasting but also one of the most successful count racks to emerge during the early '70s. Isaac Hayes was undoubtedly on e of the era's most accomplished soul artists, and with "Theme from Shaft", he delivered an anthem just as ambitious and revered as the film itself, a song that has only grown more treasured over the years, after having been enormously popular hit at the time of its release. Its legacy transcends time as not only one of the most lasting and most successful Blaxploitation albums of all time.
