Unreleased Jackson 5ive material to be released???

JACKSONS IN TALKS TO RELEASE JACKSON 5 HAUL

A treasure trove of unreleased THE JACKSON 5 material is set to be released, after lying in a New Jersey storage warehouse for years. Richard Altomare, the boss of luggage movement company Universal Express, bought a collection of unclaimed personal belongings from the warehouse - only to find a set of tapes dating back to the '70s containing almost 60 unreleased songs by The Jackson 5. Altomare claims he's currently in talks with Michael Jackson and his sister Janet - who wasn't in the band - and record labels including Sony in order to get the music released. Altomare says, "I've personally talked to Michael and Janet on the phone about the tapes, and even played on a couple of songs for them. "At first there was silence on the other end of the line, but that was quickly followed by giggles as if it brought them back to the day those songs were recorded."

I hope that those are demos in the same quality of the Shake a body demo! I love that one!

These must be the J5 tracks they had written and produced on their own while still with Motown right? I doubt these are Motown compositions recorded by the Motown producers if they are looking to Sony to release them.


Great new either way!

I wonder if they are around the same time "Big Boy" and "Let Me Carry Your Schoolbooks" were recorded

From what I know, it's demos and unreleased songs from the 1973-1984 period.
There are 2 short clips of the demos of "Enjoy Yourself" and "Think Happy" on Youtube

Why did Altomare speak with Janet Jackson if she was not in the band, and, I am assuming, was not part of these recordings? Or was she?

All is all, if this is true, I am excited!

Janet has a lawsuit against them. So does Michael, and the auction copmany were recently found in contempt.



It's a long story lol
