Isaac Hayes – Hot Buttered Soul (180g Vinyl LP)

180g Vinyl LP of Isaac Hayes Masterwork Hot Buttered Soul Remastered from the Original Analog Tapes by Engineer Dave Cooley: Stunning-Sounding Reissue Features Old-School Tip-On Jacket

Hot Buttered Soul sounds exactly as Isaac Hayes named it. The lush arrangements featuring strings and horns were recorded at United Sound Studios in Detroit, home of Motown Records, and had been arranged by Johnny Allen, who had arranged music for The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Supremes, and who would later do the arrangements on the soundtrack to Shaft, for which he won a Grammy. The album’s opening track, a cover of the Burt Bacharach and Hal David classic “Walk on By,” was like nothing that had ever been heard before in popular music. Hayes’ vocals take more than two minutes to appear. Craft Recordings’ 180g vinyl LP makes the wait even more worthwhile and sounds and looks incredible. Remastered from the original analog tapes by engineer Dave Cooley, it also features a replica old-school style tip-on jacket for exquisite packaging.
