| | Isley Brothers Go All The Way CD Isley Brothers Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
The Isley Brothers kicked off their fourth decade with this Platinum, #1 album originally issued in 1980. Previously unreleased on CD in the U.S., Go All The Way is highlighted by #1 hit ballad "Don't Say Goodnight (It's Time For Love)" and finds The Isley Brothers embracing new technology while fortifying their proven strengths. Go All The Way features a half dozen extended fan favorites and chart hits (including "Here We Go Again" and the title track). One of their most melodic albums, all was not quite as harmonious behind the scenes for the 3 + 3 lineup at this point, as former Isley Brothers songwriter/keyboardist Chris Jasper reveals in the enlightening liner notes. Go All The Way was written at a time when business disagreements threatened to split the group in two. â€Ĺ"We younger guys were gonna do an album on our own in 1980,” Chris Jasper reveals in an exclusive new interview conducted for this reissue. â€Ĺ"I just started writing some music. I didn’t have any idea that Ronald would end up singing it when I wrote it. ” Writing outside the 3 + 3 framework paid artistic dividends, as the fresh and energetic Go All The Way boldly moved The Isley Brothers sound out of the ’70s and into the ’80s. Go All The Way has been digitally remastered from the first generation tapes by 3 time Grammy Award winner Joe Palmaccio, who previously oversaw the reissues of The Isley Brothers’ CDs 3 + 3, Live It Up, The Heat Is On and Harvest For The World on Legacy.
The Isley Brothers entered the 1980s on a high note with GO ALL THE WAY, which, even though it was a huge success at the time, went for decades without a U.S. CD reissue. The album finds the Isleys in full-on slow-jam mode, delivering long, slowly unfurling, luxuriously romantic tunes like the hit "Don't Say Goodnight (It's Time For Love)." The fact that there are only six tracks here, each containing two parts, indicates the extent to which the Isleys take their time in letting the love vibes flow. Their last hurrah of the era, GO ALL THE WAY was the group's last Top 10 album for many years.
The Isley Brothers: Chris Jasper, Ernie Isley, Marvin Isley, O'Kelly Isley, Ronald Isley, Rudolph Isley.

Go All The Way album
$12.29
Creatively, commercially, and conceptually, Pain was a major step forward for the Ohio Players. This 1971 album was quite a departure from their previous work -- in the late-'60s, the Midwesterners' forte had been raw, hard-edged Southern-style soul along the lines of Sam & Dave, Rufus Thomas, and Wilson Picket. But with Pain, they became a lot more experimental and unveiled an interesting, distinctive brand of funk that incorporated elements of jazz and blues as well as rock. The jazz influence is especially strong on "Never Had a Dream," "Singing in the Morning," and the hit title song, while "The Reds" is a progressive blues number that draws on jazz as well as psychedelic rock. It was with Pain, the Players' first album for Westbound, that they unveiled their goofy Granny character, which the funksters continued to have fun with on their subsequent Westbound releases but discontinued when they moved to Mercury with 1974's Skin Tight. And it was with Pain that they became ...
| | Isley Brothers Showdown CD (1978)
Go All The Way CD music
$9.99
The Isley Brothers' 1978 album, SHOWDOWN, may have arrived towards the end of their initial (extremely long) run of hits, but it still finds them at the top of their game. "Take Me to the Next Phase" is one of the funkiest things they've ever done, with slap-happy bass and growling bass synth adding up to a ferocious bottom, while on the other side of the spectrum, "Groove With You" sports a smooth, tender sound that could rival any contemporaneous track by Smokey Robinson. SHOWDOWN also wound up being sample fodder for many hip-hop artists years later.
This Top 10 Platinum smash, originally released in 1978 on The Isley Brothers' own T-Neck label, has remained criminally out of print on CD in the U.S. … until now! Boasting the #1 hit "Take Me To The Next Phase (Part 1 & 2)" and "Groove With You," and classic, frequently sampled jams like "Coolin' Me Out," Showdown was the perfect follow-up to The Isley Brothers' groundbreaking Go For Your Guns album. The 3 + 3 lineup--combining the vocals of the 3 elder brothers (Ronald, Rudolph and Kelly) with the writing and producing skills of younger brothers Ernie and Marvin and brother-in-law Chris ...
| | Bobby Conn Homeland CD (2004) (Import) Japan
Go All The Way music CDs
$39.39
HOMELAND is the 10 track release from Bobby Conn & The Glass Gypsies.
This Japanese import contains one bonus cut, "Got To Get It."
While Bobby Conn's music, from its early punk and prog days, has had a political component, THE HOMELAND, released in 2004 with the Iraq War a year into full bloom, takes the protest to another level. Conn speaks of "fascist parasites," "a gun by every door," guns "brought to set you free," with his usual sense of 1970s pomp, drawing from everyone from Lou Reed to Todd Rundgren to Camel to Chic. THE HOMELAND certainly achieves Sun Ra levels of schizophrenia, but the wild ride is a memorable one, and the commentary and wordplay, if sometimes silly, are more often charged and effective.
Operating on the premise that it's better to laugh about your worries than cry about them, Bobby Conn's Homeland skewers the climate of America's political and popular culture under the second Bush administration. With lyrics like "If you're willing to die for what you believe/Then we're happy to kill you all," from the closing track, "Ordinary Violence," it's clear that this album is full of the kind of humor that comes out of deep frustration. And while Conn may be preaching to the converted -- virtually anyone familiar with his music is more than likely to share at least some of his views -- Homeland is still an entertaining sermon. Conn & the Glass Gypsies' theatrical mix of glam, hard rock, pop, disco, and virtually anything else that tickles their fancy works surprisingly well as a vehicle for their anger; the pomposity of the title track alone captures the arrogance of the Ugly American quite well. That also goes for the glammy epic "We're Taking Over the World" and off-kilter mod rock of "We Come in Peace," which neatly sums up the hypocrisy ...
