Review - Amazon.com essential recording :
There are several collections that cover the Isley Brothers' early years, but this is the one to own because it pulls tracks from several labels and mixes major hits and obscurities in an interesting way. Seminal cuts such as "Shout," the frantic "Nobody But Me," and "Twist and Shout" (later copied almost note for note by a little group in England called the Beatles) belong in every record collection. So do "Testify" (which contains the efforts of a young guitarist named Jimmy James, a.k.a. Jimi Hendrix), "Who's That Lady" (the prototype for the group's '70s smash "That Lady"), and some of the group's efforts from their Motown years, such as "This Old Heart of Mine" (later a hit duet for Ronald Isley and Rod Stewart) and "Take Me in Your Arms (Rock Me a Little While)." --Daniel DurchholzCustomer review - 2005-05-22
- Happy Birthday Ronald"Mr.Biggs" Isleylongevity&Long term careers are often taken for granted. the Isley brothers have been around for so long it is truly incredible. they started out with some Hits&Various Labels until everything fully came into gear.it was cool to hear the ground level version of the Isley brothers.hearing Ronald Isley from the 50's onward is just amazing at how strong His voice has held&Been smooth. this is the start of One of the Greatest Rock bands Ever.

- Now wait a minute!This CD features Isley Brothers recordings from the years before they started their own record label, T-Neck Records. It spans ten years and seven record labels. The Isley Brothers had limited success during these years, which may explain why they changed record labels so often. But they still managed to record many great songs which have come to be regarded as classics. The best known songs are "Shout", "Twist and Shout" and "This Old Heart"; but all the songs are great. Even their cover version of "Rock Around the Clock" rocks! This is the definitive CD of the Isley Brothers early years.

- Shout, Twist and Shout, and This Old Heart of Mine on one CDRhino gathered up all the good Isley Brothers songs from their early career on one CD. (Good thing, too - I was despairing of ever finding Shout on a decent disk.) They bagged virtually every decent song the Isleys did over that period (including "Behind a Painted Smile," a major Motown UK hit, and "Who's That Lady," which they remade in the '70s with great results). Decent liner notes, fun photos (they were smoking cigarettes and performing simultaneously?). Good CD.

- OK, but...What happend to "Put a Little Love in Your Heart"? Damn it! Don't they always find a way to screw up these anthologies?
