NOT LEGIT!!!
SO IF YOU THINK YOU ARE GETTING A COMPREHENSIVE COLLECTIONS OF ALL THE ISLEY BROS. THE CUTS ON THIS ALBUM ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS AND MANY OF THEM SOUND LIKE ONLY RONALD IS THE ONLY ISLEY BROTHER DOING ALL THE SINGING. ORIGINAL RECORDINGS OF ALL THEIR HITS --- YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET THIS 3-DISC ALBUM!

ALTHOUGH THE PACKAGING IS OUTSTANDING, THE QUALITY OF THE MUSIC WILL NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL SONGS THAT YOU HEARD ON THE RADIO OR ON THE ALBUMS THEY WERE RELEASED ON, SO WHATEVER YOU DO, IF YOU WANT THE CLASSICS HOW THEY WERE ORIGINALLY RECORDED. YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET THIS ALBUM.


Good Collection- of the original songs !!!
The song that I bought it for, "Voyage to Atlantis" has been redone, and replaced with some in studio alternate version, that's not nearly as good as the original. I recently purchased this CD, and while it is a good collection, there's a catch. there are 3 or 4 other songs like this too. I have no idea why the artists do this, unless they want to get the consumer soo frustrated that they eventually buy the original album. Other than this, its a good collection of their hits (except "Pop That Thing"), which should be on there. .


Who puts these things together?
How can they put a box set together and miss so many hits and great album cuts. Who in the world put this thing together. This reminds me of the Earth, Wind & Fire box set. The music is great, and I love these guys and their versatility, but this should have been 4 or 5 discs instead of 3 discs. I'm glad I've got most of the albums so that I won't miss so many good songs. It's very frustrating as a fan that we can't get every hit, isn't that why it is a box set and not a "greatest hits" package. The label probably does this so that you will buy the albums just to get the missing songs.


part of my life's soundtrack
so many memories. this is a must have for anyone born in 1948.
it will bring smiles when you recall the dances and the clothes.
a great collection!!!.


The Boys Are Back In Town!
Even though they are missing quite a few songs, the remaining tune will take you over, especially if you are a die-hard Isley fan! Fair warning, at least three of their tunes are live studio recorded and may sound a little differently than you remembered, it will be very small compaired to what lies in store. With this 3 disc set, if you aren't old enough to remember the tunes from disc one, it will be disc two and three that will make the most of this collection. From the kickin' to the groovin', here is a boxed set to cherish.
