By 10 Comments

Isley Brothers - T-Neck and RCA MastersGet ready for a release that will make you want to shout!

Today marks the 74th birthday of Ronald Isley, one-third of the original founding trio of The Isley Brothers.  Since bursting onto the scene with 1959’s Shout! on the RCA Victor label, Ronald, Rudolph and O’Kelly Isley – plus Ernie and Marvin Isley and Chris Jasper – the R&B legends have notched four Top 10 Pop singles, sixteen Top 40 albums, thirteen Gold, Platinum or Multi-Platinum albums, and inductions into the Rock and Roll and Vocal Group Halls of Fame.  Now, the group is receiving its most lavish collection yet: a definitive 23-CD box set with expanded editions of every one of The Isley Brothers’ albums released on the RCA Victor and T-Neck labels between 1959 and 1983.

The RCA Victor and T-Neck Album Masters (1959-1983), due on August 21 from Legacy Recordings, traces the family band’s evolution from their earliest days singing doo-wop, gospel, standards and R&B straight through their reign as undisputed kings of soul, funk and even disco.  The box set features newly remastered editions of 21 albums, all but two of which have been expanded with rare mixes and tracks making their CD/digital debuts.  In total, the set boasts 84 rare and previously unreleased bonus tracks including the world premiere of 1980’s “great lost Isley Brothers album,” Wild in Woodstock: The Isley Brothers Live at Bearsville Sound Studio 1980. 

The box includes:

  1. Shout! (RCA Victor, 1959)

Isley Box ContentsThe rare LP Live at Yankee Stadium, with numerous special guests, and The Isleys Live are the only two albums in the set not to include bonus material.  The Isley Brothers’ greatest moments are included here, from their earliest hit “Shout!” through “It’s Your Thing” and “That Lady,” and their dramatic reinventions of pop staples such as Carole King’s “It’s Too Late,” Todd Rundgren’s “Hello, It’s Me,” Seals and Crofts’ “Summer Breeze,” and more by Bob Dylan, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Jackie DeShannon, The Doobie Brothers, and James Taylor.  (The group’s 1960s Wand, United Artists and Motown albums are of course not represented here, nor are the Isleys’ post-1983 albums for Warner Bros., DreamWorks, Island and Def Soul.)  Rare singles by Dave “Baby” Cortez of “The Happy Organ” fame are featured among the bonus material on two early T-Neck albums, and Dionne Warwick adds background vocals to one track from In the Beginning, which collected the Isleys’ early sides with none other than Jimi Hendrix.

The RCA Victor and T-Neck Album Masters (1959-1983) looks to pay stunning tribute to one of the most enduring groups in soul music history.  You can review the complete track listing with discography and pre-order this impressive set below! It arrives from Legacy on August 21!

Joe Marchese

JOE MARCHESE (Editor) joined The Second Disc shortly after its launch in early 2010, and has since penned daily news and reviews about classic music of all genres. In 2015, Joe formed the Second Disc Records label. Celebrating the great songwriters, producers and artists who created the sound of American popular song, Second Disc Records, in conjunction with Real Gone Music, has released newly-curated collections produced by Joe from iconic artists such as Johnny Mathis, Bobby Darin, Laura Nyro, Melissa Manchester, Chet Atkins, and many others. He has contributed liner notes to reissues from a diverse array of artists, among them Nat "King" Cole, Paul Williams, Lesley Gore, Dusty Springfield, B.J. Thomas, The 5th Dimension, Burt Bacharach, The Mamas and the Papas, Carpenters, Perry Como, Rod McKuen, Doris Day, Jackie DeShannon, and Andy Williams, and has compiled releases for talents including Robert Goulet and Keith Allison of Paul Revere and the Raiders. Over the past two decades, Joe has also worked in a variety of capacities on and off Broadway as well as at some of the premier theatres in the U.S., including Lincoln Center Theater, George Street Playhouse, Paper Mill Playhouse, Long Wharf Theatre, and the York Theatre Company. He has felt privileged to work on productions alongside artists such as the late Jack Klugman, Eli Wallach, Arthur Laurents, Betty Comden and Adolph Green. In 2009, Joe began contributing theatre and music reviews to the print publication The Sondheim Review, and in 2012, he joined the staff of The Digital Bits as a regular contributor writing about film and television on DVD and Blu-ray. Joe currently resides in the suburbs of New York City.

  3. The Amazon Canada pre-order price is $102. In the US it’s $180. Which makes no sense and I’m sure the price will change but as a Canadian I’m pretty happy to be locked in at $5/CD.

  5. Also glad to see that they’re including some of the mono single mixes on It’s Your Thing, with the non-cut-off drum intro on “Don’t Give It Away”.

    Wonder if they’ve found better sources for (or simply remixed) the last 2 tracks for this album, though? The Iconoclassic reissue stated that they had to resort to needledrops for these last two since the tracks on the master were apparently too damaged to use.
