Black Moses is the fifth studio album by Isaac Hayes. This double album released on Stax Records' Enterprise label in 1971 was the follow-up to Hayes' successful soundtrack for Shaft. Black Moses features Hayes' version of The Jackson 5's hit single "Never Can Say Goodbye" which became a hit in its own right, peaking at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album reached number one on the Billboard R&B album chart in 1972. This stunning gatefold album cover design unfolds into a deluxe packaging featuring the legendary four-foot tall Black Moses fold-out cross a poster-sized image of Hayes, dressed in biblical-inspired attire as "Black Moses", with a second inside sleeve for the albums. This original 1971 issue was distributed to radio stations without shrink wrap, but this copy has be stored and never played for over 50 years. The cover design is in excellent condition, along with the original inner sleeves and near mint vinyl.
