The Isley Brothers – Get Into Something album art

Front cover featuring the boys hitching a carpet ride - with their group name and the album title set in Photo-Lettering's Green Buzzard, released earlier in 1970.
Get Into Something (1970) is the Isley Brothers’ eighth studio album and their third on T-Neck, the label they founded six years earlier (at the time, it was distributed by Buddah Records). The album followed the double whammy of It’s Our Thing and The Brothers: Isley, both released in 1969.
The album’s title track includes some very impressive breakbeats (someone should sample them!) by George Moreland, and the track “Keep On Doin’” was interpolated without credit by James Brown into “The Grunt” by the JBs the same year.
