The Jackson Five's first single 'Big Boy', released in December of 1967. It was recorded locally for the Steeltown label. The song actually charted locally in a coupe of markets in the Midwest and East Coast (like Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, DC, ect).

This is not the original version but an overdubbed 80's version, the original is so much better, just a rhythm section (drums, bass, guitar).

i have the original version on cd with "you've changed"

kinda kinky/sick that that was mj's first release.

It's actually a pretty good tune (not the version I posted though, it's dubbed with 80's synth horn and loud drums). The original track has a nice rythm arrangement to it and the vocals are on point. I'll try to post the original.

oh ok

i know, it sounds great. it's like ur in the studio with them.

I found the original version, no extra 80's drums and synths. Just like they recorded it in late 1967.

Way better wouldn't y'all say?

Thank you so much for the ORIGINAL version. I sure as hell wasn't gonna play the "remixed" one. I was disappointed when I heard that one, it was obviously remixed in the '80s, lol.

I could listen to that voice all day.

Are the rest of the Steeltown recordings available undubbed and raw like this somewhere? The mixes are shit on all the versions I have.

Here is another Steeltown track supposedly of the J5 (credited as the Ripple & Waves + Michael). Most historians say it's not the Jacksons, what do y'all think?

Sounds like J5 to me. I love "Big Boy" though, Michael has always been such a good singer.

here's another 1967 oldie
