Category: 12 Inch Vinyl Record

A landmark album released by Isaac Hayes and the Bar-Kays at the height of their powers in 1971, Shaft not only resulted in an Oscar win for Hayes, but launched the wah-wah workout and #1 smash-hit, “Theme from Shaft” into cultural ubiquity. Its legacy transcends time as not only one of the most lasting and most successful Blaxploitation albums of all time, but one of the most essential, career-defining moments of Isaac Hayes’ accomplished career. This new vinyl reissue, complete with replica old-school style tip-on gatefold jacket, features audio remastered from the original analog tapes by leading engineer Dave Cooley and pressed on 180-gram vinyl.

Abigail ★★★★★

The wah-wah guitar on 'Theme from Shaft' sounds incredibly crisp and warm on this 12-inch vinyl pressing, exactly how I hoped it would. It's a fantastic way to experience the Oscar-winning soundtrack from Isaac Hayes and the Bar-Kays.

Sophia ★★★★★

I was a little worried about the pressing quality for a 50-year-old soundtrack, but this 180-gram vinyl is dead quiet and the bass really thumps on "Theme from Shaft". The gatefold sleeve feels substantial, too.

Riley ★★★★☆

The sound quality is excellent, this pressing really brings out the depth of those wah-wah guitars. I just wish the liner notes were a bit more detailed for the price.
