ISAAC HAYES - HOT BUTTERED SINGLES VOLUME 2 1972-1976

The wonderfully favourable response to our first CD and double vinyl volume of the original A and B sides of the singles of the late great Isaac Hayes - as originally released on Stax' Enterprise subsidiary between 1969 and 1972 - has forced us to bring forward, this month, the release of "Hot Buttered Singles 2" to cater for what Ace is sure will be just as great a level of popular demand. This volume picks up where "Hot Buttered Singles Vol 1" left off with Hayes' final 45 of 1972, and carries his seven inch story through to 1976 - by which time Stax was defunct, and Hayes' was on his own Hot Buttered Soul label via ABC Records. It features eight US R&B chart hits including the much sampled 'Hung Up On My Baby' and 'Chocolate Chip', Hayes' biggest hit of this period 'Joy' and the ever-popular 1976 instrumental 'Disco Connection', which finally gave Hayes' his second UK Top 20 hit after 'Shaft'.All tracks match the original single edits, and wherever possible are taken from digital transfers of the original Enterprise singles masters. Where the original 45s came in two parts, they also do so here. And where original singles masters no longer exist, as was the case for two tracks, Ace's engineers have re-created them beat for beat from the longer album versions. (Have fun guessing which two they were...) As with "Hot Buttered Singles Vol 1", the LP inners and CD booklet are packed with label shots, copious other images and an extensive sleeve note that gives deep detail about the featured songs. It also makes the package look as good as it sounds.
