Isley Brothers, The - Its Our Thing '1969/2010

Tracks list

 The Isley Brothers left Motown in 1968 and re-launched their T-Neck label
through Buddah Records early the following year. This album was the first
release for their revived imprint and it celebrated the group s newfound
artistic freedom in the album s title. The album became a smash as the single It
s Your Thing rose all the way to #2 on the R&B charts. The success of that
single catapulted the album all the way to #22 on the pop album charts. The band
s instincts to move towards a funkier feel and a more prominent horn section
appeared to intersect perfectly with popular tastes at the end of the sixties.
Its Our Thing has never before been issued as a stand-alone CD, and this
Iconoclassic release marks the first time that the majority of this material has
been remastered from the original master tapes.
