(2-LP set) Originally released in 1971, the follow-up to the massive success of Shaft, the double LP Black Moses was a personal favorite of the artist. Black Moses was heavily sampled in the hip-hop community and features some of Hayes’ best cover versions (Jackson 5, Carpenters, Dionne Warwick), and as usual he makes those hits all his own. It’s reissued here on 180 gram vinyl and, for the first time, with an exact reproduction of the original custom fold out cover. Classic.
