It was very good. Not as good as Neil with Crazy Horse, but it was quite listenable.

The Isley Brothers - This Old Heart Of Mine (1966)
Moving to Motown Records after bouncing around from RCA Victor to Wand to United Artists was a big step forward for the Isleys. Berry Gordy's propulsive soul sound suited their harmonies perfectly as it did with so many other groups that had struggled to find an identity.

Good question. Here's the flip side of the album.
A quick look at Motown's releases for 1966 shows that most used photos of the artist like this one. "This Old Heart of Mine" was a big "Beach Music" hit so that's my best guess as to why they used this stock photo.
The Brandenburg Consort (Roy Goodman, Dir.) - Corelli: Concerti Grossi, Op. 6 (comp. 1700, rec. 1993)
Fresh, innovative melodies that served as a direct inspiration to Handel and many others.

Christophe Rousset - Rameau: Pieces de Clavecin (comp. 1706-47, rec. 1991)
If you haven't discovered Christophe Rousset yet, you are really missing out. Like Daniel Barenboim, he is both a world class keyboard player and a renowned conductor. Here, he takes on the harpsichord compositions of Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764). Over the course of four decades, Rameau progressed from backward-looking dance tunes to complex suites that foreshadowed Bach. Harpsichord can be tiresome in large doses, but Rousset, while remaining true to the score, imparts each piece with a rhythmic flexibility that approaches jazz.

Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal (Kent Nagano, cond.) - Danse Macabre (2016)
Here is a highly enjoyable collection that begs to be played on Halloween. A half dozen spooky pieces, ranging from the familiar (Dukas' "Sorcerer's Apprentice") to the obscure (Ives' "Hallowe'en"). Nagano excels with the lively material and the superior recording quality captures the Montrealers at their best.
