2008 five CD box. The Original Album Classics series, courtesy of Sony/BMG, packages together five classic albums from one of the most popular artists on the label's roster, housing them in an attractive slipcase. This set from the American Soul legends features the albums Brothers Isley (1969), Get Into Something (1970), Givin It Back (1971), Brother Brother Brother (1972) and 3+3 (1973). Review: Isley Gold - The Isley Brothers, like many of my music heroes - Steely Dan, Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Roxy Music, Jackson Browne etc. etc. - were on an amazingly hot streak in the '70s. In that golden decade an album a year was the norm rather than the exception. These 5 albums date from '69 to '73, with 3+3, the last of them, being where the group really took off. Givin' it Back was their cover versions album - Neil Young, Dylan, James Taylor - all sounding very different from the originals but it's definitely the Isleys. The rest of the albums are pretty much originals and all are well worth a listen. I find these "Original Album Classics" box sets amazingly good value. Even converted to Euro they're stll only about 15 so for 5 albums... work it out. The presentation is simple, and described elsewhere by other reviewers, but check the small print on the back and you'll find a site where you can get album credits. Other ones I've bought like George Benson and Earth, Wind & Fire have numerous bonus tracks so the only problem is you're suddenly presented with a huge amount of music (if only all life's problem were that good) but I can live with that. Review: Good cds - This set is real quality early isleys

Great album and bargain.
Bought this as it has lots of old albums in one, for half the price. Great bargain. Fantastic songs.
