DESCRIPTION

Experience the unmistakable sound of 1970s blaxploitation cinema with Truck Turner (Original Soundtrack) by Isaac Hayes. Originally released in 1974, this iconic soundtrack combines deep funk, soulful vocals and cinematic orchestration, showcasing the musical style that made Hayes one of the defining artists of the era.

Starring Isaac Hayes alongside Yaphet Kotto, Truck Turner follows a bounty hunter navigating the dangerous world of Los Angeles' criminal underworld. Hayes brings the film to life with a powerful blend of gritty funk grooves, soulful melodies and dramatic instrumental passages.

The soundtrack features 17 tracks, including the memorable “Main Title 'Truck Turner'”, the funky “House of Beauty”, “Blue's Crib” and the extended instrumental “Pursuit of the Pimpmobile”. The album also includes soulful vocal performances such as “You're in My Arms Again” and “We Need Each Other, Girl”, balancing its hard-hitting funk with moments of smooth, expressive soul.

Featuring arrangements and conducting by Isaac Hayes and Johnny Allen, the music is performed with the Isaac Hayes Movement, Hot, Buttered & Soul and the Memphis Symphony. The result is a richly textured soundtrack that moves between orchestral drama, jazz-inflected grooves and classic Memphis soul.

This 50th anniversary edition is presented as a limited translucent purple double LP in a gatefold sleeve, released through Enterprise, Varèse Sarabande and Craft Recordings.

Common Questions

What does 'pre-order' mean?

A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page.

Keep in consideration that manufacturing processes can always turn out to be delayed so this Release Date, acts as a guideline.

I ordered a pre-order and an in-stock item. When will they ship?

If you place an order containing both pre-order and in-stock items, your entire order will be shipped on the latest pre-order date of any pre-ordered items. If you prefer not to wait, please place separate orders.

Pre-order items have an (expected) release date noted on the product page. We typically ship these items several days before their release date to ensure that you receive the record on—or as close as possible to—the release date.

The color of my vinyl differs from the image shown

Vinyl is a delicate material, and each pressing is unique. This means that some products may appear slightly different in person compared to their images on our website. We create mock-ups to provide the best possible representation of our products. Nevertheless, due to the distinctive pressing process of these items, we cannot guarantee they will look exactly the same as depicted. Color variations may occur, so please keep this in mind while shopping with us.

While your product might slightly differ from the picture on our website, it also means you possess a truly one-of-a-kind, very rare copy!
