He had so much help, in fact, that the guy that helped him might qualify as a ghost writer. I only know this because I know the ghost writer. I won't reveal his name but will tell you that his name does appear in an odd place on the movie soundtrack album cover.

Re: DP12 release date?
OK, so here's the reveal:
https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/cds/de ... and-More!/
From that article:
"The second Shaft film, Shaft’s Big Score! (1972), was scored by the director of the first two installments, Gordon Parks, when Hayes was unavailable. Parks was a multitalented musician, poet, author and photographer, in addition to filmmaker, who had scored his directorial debut, 1969’s The Learning Tree, and was technically assisted on his film scores (as was Hayes on Shaft) by Tom McIntosh."
Yeah, the "technical assistance" was because Hayes wasn't even coming close to meeting deadlines. Parks had worked with Tom on "The Learning Tree" and hired him to come in and get "Shaft" back on track, which he did. Tom later worked on "Shaft's Big Score." I'm pretty sure he was credited as arranger (or maybe orchestrator) on that score.

Re: DP12 release date?
Well, there was an article about New Zealanders leaving in droves for Australia due to cost of living, which seems somewhat ironic given the poor exchange rate of the Australian Dollar stateside. Do monkeys and kiwis mix?
