Record labels and manufacturers often mark the product casing to indicate
an "overstock" item that is offered for sale at a price significantly lower
than the manufacturer's selling price.
At OLDIES.com all item numbers
beginning with the prefix "VCL" are special clearance items that contain
this small marking. Because of this small marking, we are able to sell
these items to you at significant discount. Many of the audio CDs that
we advertise for $5.98 and lower are still sold for $15 and higher
elsewhere.
Rest assured, the audio CD is in brand-new condition, as we
do not sell used or second-hand product.
This trio of brothers from Cincinnati has had one of the most successful Pop and Soul careers in the past forty years. This disc contains the group's first album that was originally released by RCA in 1959 - featuring their classic, "Shout".

Product Description:
Though SHOUT! was the first album of the Isley Brothers' multi-decade career, their signature raw-edged soul is fully formed here and comes on like gangbusters. Combining elements of gospel, R&B, and rock & roll, the Isleys visit traditional songs ("When the Saints Go Marching In"), torchy ballads ("Turn to Me"), hymns ("He's Got the Whole World in His Hands"), doo wop ("Without a Song"), and popular tunes of the time (their version of "Rock Around the Clock" blows Bill Haley's out of the water).
SHOUT! fairly bursts at the seams with energy; the rhythm section chugs like a freight train, electric guitars sting (the fiery solo on "Yes Indeed" stands against any Sun Studio recording), and the Isleys' screams, yelps, and call-and-response sections balance impeccably precise singing. The apex of the album, of course, is the title track, which lays down four minutes and 25 seconds of pure R&B bliss. From its insistent tambourine to the slinky half-time change-up, to its famed "a little bit softer now/a little bit louder now" instructions, "Shout" is, like the album, a celebration of life.
RE: whas this doing on RCA???

You never see 'Shout Part 1 & 2', on other Isley Brothers comps. I remember cruising across the tracks, on the south side of Chicago when I was 13, to grab a copy of this record. It was one of the most exciting things I had ever heard on vinyl! I kept laughing and asking my friends, what the heck is this song doing on RCA??? Pat Boone isnt going to do a cover version, (god-forbid) is he? Unfortunately, the rest of this album isnt up to the excitement of 'Shout'. Cover versions of standards. Adequately done by the very young Isleys, at that time, but nowhere near the gospel frenzy, that their self-penned tune 'Shout' envoked. 'Shout Parts 1 & 2', was one of the musical highlights of my youth, and Im glad to have a copy again! Thanks Collectables!
