In 1973 The Isley Brothers, Ronald, Rudolph and O'Kelly Isley expanded their band and hit-making sound into new stratospheric heights. With the addition of brothers Ernie, Marvin and cousin Chris Jasper, The Isley Brothers "3+3" was born.
With this new sound and band change they also began their new long-term association with Columbia Records bringing an initial handful of new songs which ultimately became their first platinum plus selling LP "3+3".
The sound was new and exciting, solid street soul fused with rock, a brand new kind of soul, as The Isley Brothers' "3+3" LP soared to the top rungs of all the soul and pop album charts.
This masterpiece smash included enough hits to be called a greatest hits album in its own right. Especially when you get smash hit singles with "That Lady", James Taylor's "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight", the brilliant Isley sound of "What It Comes Down To", and of course their legendary interpretation of Seals and Crofts' "Summer Breeze". All in all, making this amazing platinum smash one of the most revered in their long-lasting and huge catalog of Isley Brothers' classic recordings.
Mastered impeccably by Joe Reagoso (Donny Hathaway / Aretha Franklin) for the first time on audiophile blue vinyl, The Isley Brothers "3+3" LP anniversary edition is further enhanced with the original stunning gatefold cover featuring the original artwork elements. [Hide]
