Notes

This version has labels with Roman/Arabic disc numbering on labels (1, 11), and the matrix on the right of the spindle hole is center-justified. It has prominent text at the bottom of back sleeve: MUSIC FROM THE FILM COURTESY MGM RECORD CORPORATION. It has a pressing ring about 2.75" in diameter, and contains both American Record Pressing Co. and Sonic Recording Products, Inc. markers in the runouts. The absence of Sonic catalog numbers from all sides (K-####) in the etchings makes it most likely that Sonic provided the metalwork and that ARP actually pressed the discs. Some similar versions are: Shaft has Roman/Arabic disc numbering (1, II), and the matrix is left-justified. It does not have the MGM text on rear sleeve bottom. Shaft has Arabic disc numbering (1, 2) and the matrix is left-justified. Shaft - Music From The Soundtrack has Roman disc numbering (I, II) and the matrix is left-justified. Shaft has labels as above but a narrower pressing ring about 1.5" in diameter. Enterprise Records, A Division of Stax Records, Inc., 98 North Avalon, Memphis, USA Recorded at Stax Recording Studios, Memphis, Tenn. Special thanks to Lester Snell and Tom McIntosh Track listing as on back cover, track listing on labels is different Copies might include inner sleeves promoting new Stax releases
