Hard to find music
I'V SEARCHED RECORD STORES FOR YEARS TRYING TO FIND CERTAIN ALBUMS THAT I OWNED IN 8-TRACK FORMAT BACK IN THE 70'S TO NO AVAIL,THEN I TRIED AMAZON AND FOUND JUST ABOUT EVERY ONE OF THEM! NOW I DO ALL MY MUSIC SHOPPING ON AMAZON.


Good CD
I was in junior high school when this album came out, and now it's on CD, it sounds as good as it was on tape. I remember seeing this particular CD on cassette that my uncle had back in the day. I never thought I'd find this album on CD, but I'm glad I did, and I love it. .


go all the way
the boys were running out steam on this track not some of their best work,but if you are atrue fan buy it.


This IS the "REAL DEAL"
For all it's worth, the cassette actually sounded very good but does not compare to this CD version which was remastered beautifully. I have been searching for this album on CD for years and up until now all that's been available is the cassette version. The good thing about waiting for so many years for this to appear on CD means that it's been mastered with the latest technology and it sounds so, so good.

I always loved the title track 'Go All the Way' when it was played on the radio back in 1980 and never heard it again after that year but it remained in my mind and finally I can listen to in stunning sound quality.

Go All The Way Does not Deliver All the Way

The music on the album, however, represents a decline in the Isley Brothers' musical influence. The product itself arrived fast and in excellent condition.

Even if what Chris Jasper said in the jacket (that more and more he was writing the songs to be sung by the younger members) accounts for a different musical shift, it still sounded way too stilted and not as vibrant as their previous outings. In short, it was way too old for a group, that by even the early date of 1980, had become living legends.

I still enjoy the songs, especially "Say You Will" and "Here We Go Again", but it was only because of Ronald's voice that the songs got anywhere at all. His vocal stylings and quality are what makes the songs listenable. But there was too much programming and not enough rawness, and the improv that was done was in the predictable places. "Go All The Way" was a good endevour, but did not accomplish what the album title's intentions.
