Isaac Hayes - Music From The Soundtrack SHAFT (1971) - ORIGINAL AND REMASTERED

Scans also provided.
Isaac Hayes surprised many in the film and R&B/soul world when he produced, arranged and composed the music for Shaft. Only three of the 15 tracks featured vocals, and Hayes displayed a finesse and capability with strings and mood pieces that his fans already knew he possessed from earlier albums, but which the general audience might have missed. This was a number 1 pop album and eventually earned Hayes an Oscar.

Note: the difference between the original and the remastered is very subtle, but the original has slightly deeper, tighter bass. To me the original is a bit nicer - but judge for yourself.
