A Listmania! list by Matthew Morgan "mmonster70" (London)
(REAL NAME)   
 
Shaft: Original Soundtrack
1.  Shaft: Original Soundtrack by Shaft (Related Recordings)
The list author says:

£6.99   Used & New from: £2.88
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Sweet Sweetback's Baadasss Song
2.  Sweet Sweetback's Baadasss Song by Melvin VanPeebles
The list author says:
  "This was the one that started it all - the genre, the look, the soundtracks - Melvin van Peebles wrote and directed the film as well as the music - I'm down with that brother"
Used & New from: £4.91

Superfly Deluxe (UK issue)
3.  Superfly Deluxe (UK issue) by Curtis Mayfield
The list author says:
  "Head and shoulders above the movie, this is one of Curtis Mayfield's best works. How can you not be moved by Freddie's Dead?"

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

Trouble Man
4.  Trouble Man by Marvin Gaye

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Coffy

Used & New from: £10.69

See buying options
Black Caesar: Original Soundtrack
6.  Black Caesar: Original Soundtrack by James Brown
The list author says:
  "You knew it wouldn't be long until the Funky President arrived. A shame the movie couldn't live up to the sheer class of the Boss"
£7.28   Used & New from: £2.44
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Foxy Brown - Ost
7.  Foxy Brown - Ost by Willie Hutch

Slaughters Big Rip Off Soundtr
8.  Slaughters Big Rip Off Soundtr by Fred Wesley
The list author says:
  "The Godfather of Soul comes back and this time he's brought Lynn Collins the Female Preacher with him. Not his finest hour but still a damn sight more funky than most"

3.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Hell Up in Harlem
9.  Hell Up in Harlem by Edwin Starr

Out of stock

Cleopatra Jones: Original Soundtrack

Truck Turner: Original Soundtrack/Remastered
11.  Truck Turner: Original Soundtrack/Remastered by Isaac Hayes

4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Blacula Deadlier Than Dracula
12.  Blacula Deadlier Than Dracula by Gene Page

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

See buying options
Cotton Comes to Harlem
13.  Cotton Comes to Harlem by Various Artists

Used & New from: £35.45

See buying options
Across 110th Street
14.  Across 110th Street by Bobby Womack
The list author says:
  "The title track by Bobby Womack says it all- a fine jazzy, gritty record that complements possibly the best Blaxploitation movie ever made"
Used & New from: £4.77

See buying options
Dolomite [VINYL]
15.  Dolomite [VINYL] by Moore Rudy Ray
The list author says:
  "A funk extravaganza - makes you feel that you are strutin' yo' stuff down the mean streets of coke and ho's with a feather in your hat and a gun at your hip"
Out of stock

The Mack: Original Soundtrack
16.  The Mack: Original Soundtrack by Willie Hutch
The list author says:

Savage the Movie
17.  Savage the Movie by Don Julian

£11.02   Used & New from: £5.19

Brother on the Run
18.  Brother on the Run by Johnny Pate
The list author says:
  "Perhaps a little slow tempoed for a film about someone on the run - but very soulful with some atmospheric moments"
Used & New from: £9.99

See buying options
Together Brothers
19.  Together Brothers by Barry White
The list author says:
  "The love walrus lays on the strings and the wah wahs to good effect here - more funky than his usual bedroom approach"
Used & New from: £46.72

See buying options
Dynamite Brothers
20.  Dynamite Brothers by Charles Earland
The list author says:
  "A move into funkiness for Mr Earland who was essentially a jazz artist - its the tinges of psychedelia that do it for me"
Used & New from: £24.50

See buying options
Shorty the Pimp: Original Soundtrack
21.  Shorty the Pimp: Original Soundtrack by Don Julian
The list author says:
  "A soundtrack that was never issued to a film that almost no one has seen - and actually well worth investigating for you Blaxploitation completists out there"
£18.80   Used & New from: £8.55

Best of Shaft
22.  Best of Shaft by Shaft (Related Recordings)
The list author says:
  "Hate to include a twofor instead of the originals but what can you do? This has both soundtracks to the Shaft sequels. Shaft in Africa is superb but Shaft's Big Score is a little weak"
Used & New from: £17.81

See buying options
Car Wash
23.  Car Wash by Norman Whitfield
The list author says:
  "Not techinically a Blaxploitation movie - but fun nonetheless and some of the greatest disco music in the world"

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Theme From Starsky & Hutch
24.  Theme From Starsky & Hutch by Hoax
