Isaac Hayes – The Best Of (Remastered 2025) - (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Before Marvin Gaye's *What's Going On* and before Barry White made orchestral soul a commercial force, Isaac Hayes was already rewriting the rules at Stax, layering symphonic arrangements over slow-burning grooves that demanded patience and rewarded it. His extended reworkings of pop and soul standards, sometimes stretching past ten minutes, helped lay the groundwork for what producers and DJs would later call the art of the slow build. This remaster gives those recordings the sonic depth they always deserved.
The Best of Isaac Hayes brings together 10 soulful cuts from Stax Records’ incomparable creative force. As composer, producer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Isaac Hayes changed the face of music in the early 1970s and this collection is the perfect introduction to his music. Including the Academy Award Winning “Theme From Shaft” with its distinctive wah-wah guitar intro, “Walk on By,” and “Never Can Say Goodbye” all newly mastered by Paul Blakemore.
