Could these be the Jacksons remasters that we've been waiting for? 
A 5-CD box set containing five albums,newly remastered plus original sleeve artwork: 'The Jacksons','Going Places','Destiny','Triumph' and 'Victory'.Released yesterday in the UK,each CD is superbly presented in a high quality,rigid cardboard slipcase containing 5 vinyl replica sleeves. Go to this link and type in "original album classics" then scroll down: http://hmv.com/hmvweb/dis...sku=812669 no bonus tracks  [Edited 6/18/08 4:58am] | |

I've held off on buying their albums because I knew remasters were pending. Do you think they'll be sold individually? Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

In the new issue of Record Collector magazine (with Madonna on the cover),there is a print ad for these remasters.This is what it says: ORIGINAL ALBUM CLASSICS :THE ESSENTIAL NEW SERIES 5-CD Collections of legendary albums from iconic artists Featuring titles previously unavailable on CD Remastered with bonus tracks plus original sleeve artwork They then list the artists that are a part of this series: Carole King Patti Smith Jefferson Airplane Jeff Beck Big Audio Dynamite Blue Oyster Cult Cheap Trick Earth Wind and Fire Rory Gallagher Hall and Oates The Isley Brothers The Jacksons Cyndi Lauper Ted Nugent Poco Elvis Presley The Psychedelic Furs Lou Reed Santana Joe Satriani Steve Vai  I guess there are bonus tracks on some of the other artists' CDs,but not on the Jacksons,unfortunately.Oh well...I'll settle for fresh remasters. | |

Please inform back when you get them. I already have them but they definitely need remastering.

You can hear them here -
http://www.zavvi.co.uk/mu...10.1/p.jsf Do they sound remastered to anyone here ? They sound a lot clearer to me although this is only a site so it's hard to tell of course. [Edited 6/18/08 5:58am] | |

When ever I hear the term remaster.....I think they are admitting that the 1st master was NOT very good. | |

Most CDs of old or classic albums that were brought out in the 80's were rush released in order to cash in on the CD explosion and little or no effort was put into making the recordings truly digital or clearer. That's why so many of them need to be remastered now (see Prince's early back catalogue for further info...) | |

I'm keeping my Prince vinyl records too.I have a feeling that we may NEVER get any remastered Prince CDs,because of his stubborness. | |

I think you found it. For 5 CDs I don't mind that price either!
Cyndi Lauper too?? | |

Unless they contain some bonus tracks, I'm not buying them. I already have all five CDs and three of them on vinyl. I want some videos and television appearances from that era. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I was hoping that the 'Destiny' remaster would include the kickass 12" version of "Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)" as one of the bonus tracks. | |

It's a shame that the Jacksons reunion tour never happened.Imagine if they were on the road right now....celebrating the release of these remasters with a big world tour.Another missed opportunity | |

Not sure.I'm gonna buy this 5-CD set even though I'm not too crazy about the 'Victory' album. I feel you on Victory. wasn't 'Torture' on there? I get that song in my head sometimes. But it didn't make the ITunes I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

I ordered:
-The Jacksons -Cyndi Lauper -The Isley Brothers So I guess thanks to SoulAlive. | |

I guess I'll have to buy this off of Towerrecords.com, since Amazon doesn't have any copies in stock. Anyway, it's a good opportunity to own all of their studio albums in one place, because the only thing I have from the Jacksons is the Essential compilation from 2004. I know that sucks!
