Notes
Limited 180gm audiophile red vinyl LP pressing in gatefold sleeve with insert. In the early seventies, brothers Ronald, Rudolph and O'Kelly Isley expanded their band with brothers Marvin and Ernie, plus cousin Chris Jasper, as their hit making sound excelled into new stratospheric heights. The sound was new and exciting, solid street soul fused with rock, a brand new kind of soul, as the amazing The Heat Is On soared to the top rungs of all the soul and pop album charts, becoming their biggest selling album to date. This masterpiece smash included enough hits to be called a greatest hits album in it's own right. Especially when you get smash hit singles with the anthem 'Fight The Power' (Part 1 and 2), the balladry of 'For The Love Of You' (Part 1 and 2), and the rockin' party sounds of 'Hope You Feel Better Love' (Part 1 and 2) All in all, making this amazing platinum plus smash one of the most revered in their long-lasting and huge catalog of Isley Brothers classic recordings. The Isley Brothers The Heat Is On LP will truly become one of the most important and historical audiophile soul titles in quite some time. We further enhance this limited anniversary edition with the original stunning gatefold cover featuring the original artwork elements, plus the original lyrics and additional photos of the band now on a keepsake insert.
