Edited 3 years agoHard to believe this cool LP was from 1971...Top condition and such an iconic theme...Everyone knows "Shaft" when they hear it...Isaac came in for a read in the movie and through all kinds of strange happenings he ended up writing the score...Horary for Hollywood...He sets the mood throughout the film with his steady, right on ahead musical score...Album peaked at number ne and spent SIXTY weeks on the charts...One of the better soundtrack's of the 70's right here on this VINYL... -
