La bande-son complète de Shaft rééditée en CD

Parallèlement à la diffusion du (très dispensable) remake de Shaft sur Netflix, Craft Recordings réédite la bande originale complète du grand succès de la Blaxploitation mis en musique par Isaac Hayes.

En 2008, le coffret Shaft Anthology : His Big Score and More ! proposait pour la première fois les titres d’Isaac Hayes enregistrés pour la bande-son de Shaft dans les studios de Culver City. Ces morceaux avaient été ensuite ré-enregistrés aux studios Stax pour figurer sur le best-seller du Black Moses.

Épuisé peu de temps après sa sortie, Shaft (Deluxe Edition) est de retour en version 2-CDs réunissant l’album mythique d’Isaac Hayes et les 22 titres du score original du film. Attention, édition limitée à 5000 exemplaires ! (informations)
