This Top 10 Platinum smash, originally released in 1978 on The Isley Brothers' own T-Neck label, has remained criminally out of print on CD in the U.S. ... until now!

Boasting the No.1 hit 'Take Me To The Next Phase (Part 1 & 2)' and 'Groove With You,' and classic, frequently sampled jams like 'Coolin' Me Out' and the title track, Showdown was the perfect follow-up to The Isley Brothers' groundbreaking Go For Your Guns album.

The 3 + 3 lineup - combining the vocals of the 3 elder brothers (Ronald, Rudolph and Kelly) with the writing and producing skills of younger brothers Ernie and Marvin and brother-in-law Chris Jasper - was on fire at this point, producing hit after hit while innovating constantly.

Perhaps their funkiest album, Showdown was built to rock the house, as Chris Jasper explains in his detailed, all new liner notes.
