🔥 Why This Copy?

This is a verified early/original pressing of one of the most essential soul albums of all time. Features “Walk On By”, “By the Time I Get to Phoenix”, and Hayes’ signature orchestral-funk arrangements that changed soul music forever.

🎶 About the Album:

Released in 1969, Hot Buttered Soul broke every mold. With just four extended tracks, Isaac Hayes rewrote what a soul record could be — lush orchestration, deep grooves, and raw emotion. A cornerstone in any serious soul, funk, or hip-hop collection.
