The thing is that there are 11 studio albums on Motown, 15 if you include Michael's solo stuff... and the REAL problem is that most people understandably just want to settle for a Greatest Hits, but I find those really boring and they miss out some really great unknown songs from the later albums.
ALL the the albums from the entire family are here: http://www.jacksonfamily-...index2.htm [This message was edited Tue Jul 29 10:01:57 PDT 2003 by Ellie] | |

ALL the the albums from the entire family are here: http://www.jacksonfamily-...index2.htm Greatest hits sets do tend to suck.The only one i bought was a pretty comprehensive Box set called 'Soulsation' - 82 tracks (I think?) That's wel wort checking out. i also bought the J5's first two albums on one CD awhile back, i think Motown have brought a few of those out.I own the rest on vinyl. |

Boxed set? Of some 60's kids singing? And I thought I wasted my money on the new Project Pitchfork record... | |

Soulsation is a good box set, but as a fan I didn't settle for anything less than the whole back catalogue.
J5's first 2 albums were their worst IMO. Noting but the few singles and bad Motown covers. | |

Soulsaton is pretty good. but if its too pricey...get their first 3 albums and go from there. their CBS material wasn't as consistant. but i did like TRuimph. Ellie,did you get a chance to see the video stuff i talked about? You sound like a real j5 fan! | |

Aside from Victory, all the CBS Jacksons material is very consistent IMO. Goin' Places is SUCH a great album, but it's the only one which didn't spawn any major hits. I honestly think 2 or 3 tracks could have been on Off The Wall and become classics.
Anyway, all J5 albums except for the Christmas album were released in 2001 with 2 albums on one CD: http://www.amazon.com/exe...c&n=507846 | |

Remember on the Going Back to Indiana special that Bill Cosby was the "roving reporter Scoop Newsworthy" reporting on a basketball game the J5 were going to play against. . .well, I've forgotten now. I loved the J5 so much I just knew I would die if I didn't marry Michael (my 3rd, 4th and 5th grade fantasies). I had a chance to meet them backstage and Berry Gordy lived down the street from me (the house is still there--I still live in the neighborhood). I used to beg my dad to take me to his house so I could meet the J5 (yeah, right, like I was going to get past the security gates). | |

J5/Jacksons were the BADDEST "boy band"/ family act EVER!!! I always wondered...they made a Christmas album although they were devout JW's!! It's the power of the almighty dollar... | |

I agree with the notion that there were some good songs to be found on the Jackson 5 original Motown albums. The greatest hits and anthologies can't cover it all..for example...
The Third Album..."How Funky Is Your Chicken" and "Reach In" are superb ABC...Little Michael is singing his behind off on "Don't Know Why I Love You", plus "One More Chance", "2-4-6-8" was good, {Come Round Here} I'm The One You Need, but the jam on this one is "I Found That Girl" only Jermaine is singing lead on this song, but this track is great. R&B radio stations used to play it alot back in the 70's. ABC is among the finest of all of the Jackson 5 Motown records. Some of the songs off of the ABC album can be found on various anthologies though. Maybe Tomorrow...this album contains the title track and Never Can Say Goodbye, but also good are "She's Good" with Jermaine singing lead. Also you have "Sixteen Candles" with Jermaine singing lead and then you have the soft laid-back "{We've Got} Blue Skies". There are great musical moments to hear on the J5 original albums. BRO915 | |

Yea, I used to look forward to hearing those J5 songs with Jermaine singing lead. He plays some good bass on some of those old J5 cuts too...I might add. I love the hear the way he lays the groove "in the cut" on "Mama's Pearl". [This message was edited Wed Aug 6 7:58:16 PDT 2003 by BRO915] | |
