You are bidding on the ISAAC HAYES epic double album BLACK MOSES. This is sealed double LP with a great gatefold - a bogus magazine cover foldout. Here's a review of the CD reissue from Pichfork:

Some of the joy of listening to Black Moses is hearing Hayes explode these songs from the inside, unpacking their groove potential yet leaving them recognizable. "(They Long to Be) Close to You" had already been a hit for the Carpenters and has since become a key exemplar of 70s pop cheese, but Hayes anchors it to a laidback drumbeat, adds the Hot Buttered & Soul singers in the background, and unfolds it into a nine-minute jam. It's startling to hear him sing the opening lines-- "Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near?"-- in his supremely honeyed bass, but he gives the song a straight reading. At the time some critics derided these songs as aimless and self-glorifying, and Hayes' ornate orchestrations still carry a whiff of kitsch, but Black Moses remains unapologetic, often moving, and always entertaining.

Condition is excellent - still sealed - remainder punch in bottom right.

Released by Enterprise Records / Stax. Cat. # ENS5003.
