Have this one on order, I'm assuming it's also by Palmaccio. 1975 album remastered in 2001 by Joseph Palmaccio on Sony/Legacy. Again, another winner, not a bad track on here, a little ballad-heavy, starting to drift a little bit into more sedate "adult-contemporary" territory, but still vital, still has that funk edge.ĥ. 1976 album remastered in 2001 by Joseph Palmaccio on Sony/Legacy. In fact, all the albums from this period are very similar in sound and quality, if you like one you'll probably like the rest.Ĥ. This album is also almost as good as 3 +3, maybe even heavier on the funk.
GOOD ISLEY BROTHERS SONGS THAT IS FAST FULL
Lots of midrange goodness, very full and creamy and analogue-y, his CDs sound as good as many SACDs to me. Joseph Palmaccio is fast becoming one of my personal favorite mastering engineers, he does a lot of older soul/R&B/funk stuff, and IMO, he really has a feel for it, I've yet to be disappointed with anything he's touched. 1974 album remastered in 2004 by Joseph Palmaccio on Sony/Legacy. Man, everything from the 70s sounds so much better than today's recordings, it seems.ģ. GREAT album, too, every bit as good as 3 + 3. Yes! Another real winner, he did an outstanding job. 1972 album remastered on Sony/Legacy in 1997 by Tom Ruff. They also remastered 3 + 3 for CD at the same time, it comes with a bonus track, also sounds great, essentially the same as the SACD without the hi-rez part.Ģ. Friggin' GREAT! Considered by many to be their best album, this 1973 album is well-recorded, and sounds terrific in hi-rez. Discs 1 & 2 from their "classic" period (60s/70s) set me off on a journey to dig deeper and get more, focusing on their 70's peak period in particular.ġ. Disc 3 covers their later 80's/90's output in which they seem to suffer from the awful R&B production of the time, and seem to be relegated to gross bedroom "booty" songs. It's pretty good sonically, but a little "digital" and slightly grainy. Did not record who mastered this (copied it and sold it). It's Your Thing: Story of The Isley Bros.
so far! Don't have their own thread, so I thought I'd kick one off.ġ.
