I own "Showdown" as a separate CD (I bought it as a Japanese import about eight years ago) and IMO it's the last of the great 3+3 eras The Isley Brothers produced. "Coolin' Me Out" is one of my favorite songs by them, and "Take Me to the Next Phase," "Ain't Giving Up No Love," "Groove with You" and the title track also are standouts.

HOLD ON TO YOUR DRAWERS! |

I've heard just about every song on Showdown, but I'm still looking forward to this release. | |

I'd rather have them separately. I burned my vinyl copy of "Grand Slam" onto CD which sounds great. However, I only had a cassette of "Showdown" which I burned onto CD and you know how shitty cassettes sound. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I'd also rather have them separately and remastered with extra tracks the way Columbia has done with the others in the Legacy series, but I'll gladly take this one. | |
