The version I have is the SACD remaster which cost me nearly £20 so I thought I'd put the link for the MP3 version, link is at the bottom!
The Isaac Hayes Movement was the third studio album released by Isaac Hayes. Released in 1970, it was the follow-up to "Hot Buttered Soul", Hayes' landmark 1969 album. Marvell Thomas had come up with "The Isaac Hayes Movement" as a name for Hayes' backup ensemble. He modeled the name after the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Similar in structure to Hot Buttered Soul, The Isaac Hayes Movement features only four long tracks, all with meticulous, complex and heavily orchestrated arrangements. However, unlike the previous album, this time all four songs are reworked covers of others' material. This includes Jerry Butler's "I Stand Accused", which features a nearly five-minute long spoken intro that precedes the actual song, and The Beatles' "Something", which features violin soloing by John Blair. The other two songs included on the album were the Bacharach-David song, "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself" and Chalmers and Rhodes' "One Big Unhappy Family".
Released in March 1970,The Isaac Hayes Movement spent a total of seven weeks at number one on Billboard's Soul Albums chart and remained in the top ten until the last week of November in that year. The album also reached number one on the Jazz Albums chart and spent seventy five weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at number eight. An edited version of "I Stand Accused" was released as a single in July of 1970. It reached number twenty three on the Soul Singles chart and number forty two on the Pop chart.
Stax Records reissued The Isaac Hayes Movement in SACD format in 2004.
