“Textbook in blaxploitation soundtrack work.” Anchored by Roy Ayers‘ much admired vibraphone work, the soundtrack for Pam Grier’s revenge saga has become as iconic as the film itself. For this edition of Dynamite Cuts, 4 tracks from the record selected and pressed on 45s for the first time, all from master tapes. The uptempo funk of “Coffy Is the Color” featuring Carl Clay leads the pack, followed by “Aragon,” a beautiful example of Ayers’ ability to merge funk with action-movie music a la Isaac Hayes‘ work for Shaft. “Brawling Broads” and “Exotic Dance” are low-slung groovers that’d get bodies moving on the dancefloor. comes in heavy card cover, essential material.
