Isley brothers box set released

[woodward]

Although the box set only covers their RCA and T-Neck albums, the article which appeared on Philly.com mentions a performance with Martha and the Vandellas and mentions This Old Heart of Mine.

I'm not going to get the box, but I can download the albums and individual tracks in CD quality or hi-rez from 7-digital or Pono. I'm digging the "Baby" Cortez tracks.

The T-Neck catalog is most appealing. I have most albums through "Winner Takes All", but, I bought the first generation of CDs and if the remastering is top notch.....it's tempting. I can seem to find a complete track listing so if anyone has one....it would be great to see.

I got it from Amazon UK for 40 UK pounds but the price went up quickly after the first announcement!:)

Not much in the way of unreleased stuff to justify the hefty price tag in my opinion. I love the Isleys but I don't think I will be bothering unless one of you good people insist it is a must buy in which case I may reconsider.........

Better sound and single versions are the reason I would buy it [[them). Again, if you download the lossless or hi-rez versions, you can pick and choose what you want, and are not tied to having to buy the whole box.

Thanks for that. I shall give it some careful thought.

I received my Isley Brothers Box Set on Friday afternoon and right off the bat, was impressed with the look of this 23 disc set. Each recording is presented in a cardboard miniature version of the original release complete with liner notes and gatefold covers where applicable. Great booklet as well. Of course it's all about the music and I have just finished listening to the 12 track, previously unreleased "Wild In Woodstock" tracks albeit re-recorded versions of previously recorded tracks, but interestingly re-arranged, clocks in at almost 70 minutes. Apart from the very early recordings, "Shout!" and "In The Beginning...The Isley Brothers & Jimi Hendrix" which some fans may not have a copy of, I'm happy to have all their T-Neck recordings collected together. Hope this helps some fence sitters.

I am currently sat on that fence. It certainly sounds very appealing but i am still not quite convinced enough to shell out that amount of cash quite yet.
