Quad LP/Tape Poll Hayes, Isaac: Live at the Sahara Tahoe [SQ/Q8]

[steelydave]

Recorded on November 27th, 1972 in the wake of Hayes' massive crossover success with the Shaft soundtrack, Live at the Sahara Tahoe finds the charismatic Hayes leading his tight-knit band (and the occasional string section overdub) through extended renditions of most of his best-known hits as well as a few unlikely covers over the course of nearly an hour and forty-five minutes of music.

The quad LP version of this release was just a stereo sleeve with a big red 'SQ' sticker with the new catalog number applied to the front and spine of the jacket, whereas the quad 8-track release came in a custom cardboard slipcase that held the two tapes.

This album was another of the initial batch of Stax quad releases in September, 1973, the stereo version having been issued earlier the same year.
