Record 2381. #IsaacHayes #HotButteredSoul I bought this record when I was fresh out of high school, and I was digging for the funk and soul roots of the Hip Hop music I loved so much (I didn't even realise at the time that this record contained the sample for one of my favourite Hip Hop track's, Public Enemy's "Black Steele In The Hour Of Chaos). I had heard a little about Isaac Hayes (this was pre South Park times people), probably because of Shaft, but I'd also heard that Isaac's and Stax records we're like a dirtier raw funk form of soul compared to Motown. I remember the old guys from Dusty Covers second hand record store were extatic to see a young dude picking up an Isaac Hayes soul classic like this (come to think of it I'm probably older than the age of those old dudes now). When I got the record home I was blow away. It's like a prog rock equivalent form of funk and soul where the jam just swells and swells and songs continue on and on into a level of transcendence. Only 4 songs on this album, as tunes continue for 5, 9, 12, 18 minutes! One of my first tastes at a true crate digging joy with real breaks and discovery all over this record. #soulmusic #funk #digginginthecrates #vinyl #records #nowspinning #vinyljunkie #recordstores #recordcollection #publicenemy #samples #vinylcollectionpost #vinyligclub https://www.instagram.com/p/CIcdeXiJLGu/?igshid=1m170hq230ovd
