Isaac Hayes’Â groundbreaking 1969 opusÂ
Pressed by Quality Record Pressings
“By rights, Hot Buttered Soul (Hayes’ first album) should have been a uncommercial proposition. It featured only four long tracks, the briefest clocking in at five minutes, the longest (“By the Time I Get to Phoenix”) strecthing to a mammoth 18 minutes and 40 seconds. In these four cuts, though was a whole new synthesis of black music.” — Barry Lazell, liner notes from Enterprise: His Greatest Hits
This compilation album offers just what its title suggests, the single versions of Isaac’s greatest hits. While widely known as an popular “album” artist throughout his career, this collection pays tribute to Isaac’s success in selling millions of singles as well. These tracks, showcasing the soulfulness of Isaac’s early days as a recording artist, display why Isaac played such a monumental role in shaping the disco era to come.
