You don’t know Motown until you know the sugary-sweet pop, synchronized swivels, perfectly sculpted afros and equally flawless harmonies of the Jackson Five. Forming what was essentially the R&B/pop pantheon of the 70s, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael undoubtedly changed the worlds of music and coordinating fashion forever. Now you can relive the Jacksonmania with the new two-disc, 32 track collection. Produced by Deke Richards, the collection features songs such as “If the Shoe Don’t Fit” and “Would Ya Would Ya Baby,” as well as covers of songs by fellow Motown favorites the Temptations and the Supremes. “Motown maintained a level of quality that remains unparalleled,” said Bruce Resnikoff, President and CEO of UMe, “There’s something in this set for every fan, from their bubblegum-pop beginnings to their more mature years.” J5 fans can also enjoy three bonus tracks, which include Deke Richards’ original, unedited “That’s How Love Is,” Richards’ original mix for “If I Have to Move a Mountain,” and previously unheard demo, “Mama’s Pearl.” The seven-inch boxed set will also be packed with rare photos, essays, and a 45-rpm, seven-inch vinyl single. The album will be available digitally on August 28 in commemoration of Michael Jackson’s birthday.
