The 23 CD 1959-83 box set with 80 or so bonus tracks and live stuff is just £40 . That’s like…….. not much per CD innit

It may be a bargain. I do like the Isley brothers , but that’s an awful lot to listen to – though I’m sure it’s not all awful.
Completely agree, less is more.
The Hoodoo label (if memory serves) early 60s stuff, the Tamla twofer and (possibly, only if you must) ’69 LP. Job done, 20 notes max, 10 if you, as Smokey would surely agree, shop around.
And miss out on Brother Brother Brother , Givin It Back etc? Not a chance, pal
A 3 track EP would do for me.
Harvest for the world/ This old heart of mine on side one & side two would be the full length version of the wonderful Summer breeze .
I`m with DFB on this, it`s the full monty for me.
There’s a joke involving the tax dodgers and Ronald Isley, but out of respect I’m not going to make it….

If you end up with a 23 CD (so much for the demise of that format!) set of the Isley Brothers, exactly how many CDs do you end up owning?
We’re moving soon and I’ve got the number down to about 800, more than enough really, but I still think there’s scope for shaving another couple of hundred off.
Price now £80. If you still want it I’d recommend sticking in a pre order and see if the price falls back to £40 again as that’ll be what you pay.
