50 Best Songs:The Motown Years

If you have been looking for a comprehensive collection of Michael's earlier work with his brothers on the Motown label then this is it. It has every great song he recorded between 1969 and 1975. 50 songs spread over 3 discs and 2.9 hours of pure listening pleasure! Every Jackson 5 single release is featured here from 'I Want You Back'(1970) to 'Skywriter'(1973). All the classic covers are included, 'My Girl' 'Ain't No Sunshine' 'Who's Loving You' 'You've Got A Friend' and 'Never Can Say Goodbye' all have that magic touch Michael just seemed to pocess at the tender ages of 10 to 16. 'Got To Be There' 'I'll Be There' 'ABC' 'The Love You Save' the list is endless! One of the main reasons for buying this is the inclusion of 'Farewell My Summer Love' & 'Girl You're So Together' which were released in the summer of 1984 to capatalise on the huge marketing potential Michael was after 2 years of 'Thriller'. To my knowledge that album is no longer available so it was great to hear them again! I cant praise this album enough and so it seems do thousands of others, as this album is catapulting towards No.1 as we speak. Just treat yourself and buy it to realise what a genius Michael was. Can you imagine the faces of the judges and audience of a talent show when confronted with a 10 year old Michael singing 'Who's Loving You'? So regardless of how you felt about the man and all the controversy and myths that surrounded his later life you have to appreciate what a huge talent he was as a boy, the success he brought to his family and the legacy his recordings will be remembered for. This CD is a fitting tribute to a true musical legend.

I am a huge Jackson 5 five fan so when i saw this wonderful box set i jumped at the chance to buy this ,i am very pleased with this box set and it is very good value for money.\ The box set contain all of the most important hit that stamped Micheal and his talented brothers as superstars, the highlights of this box set in my opinion are Abc ,i want you back,Dancing machine,i found that girl from the ABC album and Never can say goodbye.Be aware that this box set does not contain any of the work that Micheal and his brother did at CBS Epic records..

A great compilation of the Jackson 5 & early Micahel Jackson songs.

Great 70s Motown soul music, gorgeous sound, beautiful triple-disc in tones of Brown presentation and a great legacy to the Jackson 5 before cute little MJ went weird.Doctor My Eyes and now you're at it, My Nose etc.

This was available before Michael died. Since his death it is available with this packaging with 50 instead of S0 in the surname as that was how old he was. There is also 50 songs. They are Michael singing when he was a boy. I just received today, so I haven't listened to it yet but im sure a die-hard fan or someone whom likes nicely sung songs will like it.

BRILLIANT COMPILATION of MJ and the MJ5, spread over 3 CD's, so what more could you want. I got this from an amazon shop in used condition for little money, my only gripe is the digipack format, it soon gets scuffed and cannot be replaced, unlike a jewel case. Great songs, but you knew that anyway, thoroughly recommended

Thanks for speedy delivery good product

Decided to take a chance on this without knowing too much about the Jackson Five's music, considering the large number of tracks provided. It was a great purchase showcasing a great variety of music, and Michael and his brothers were often singing me to sleep over the festive period!

三枚組でたっぷりの曲数。聞きたいものは全部入っている。いいね。

Une presentation simple mais néanmoins agréable et pratique:En effet,les trois CD sont inserés dans un etui cartonné dépliant nous laissant apparaitre aprés avoir déplié une premiere fois une photo noir et blanc sur fond or des cinq fréres Jacksons,puis en depliant une derniere fois,nous découvrons enfin les trois galettes alignées sous lesquelles figures quelques infos propres aux titres gravés sur chaque CD.Ce package une fois refermé ne dépasse pas l'epaisseur d'un album simple en boitier cristal,on retrouve la description des titres au verso de la pochette.Passons maintenant au contenu des disques:les CD1 et CD2 sont entierement consacrés aux Jackson5(avec bien entendu michael au chant)34 titres au total, le CD3 contient quant à lui 16 titres de michael en solo.La qualité d'écoute et la pureté du son,sont ici irreprochables et malgré le fait que cela ne soit mentionné nul part,l'ensemble des enregistrements a vraisemblablement été remasterisé. En conclusion,je dirai simplement que nous avons affaire à un excellent produit qui est parfaitement representatif des années Motown de Michael et de ses fréres,à un pris des plus raisonnables.

Não foi uma edição caprichada, acredito que foi para revisitar o passado da banda mas sem nenhuma pretensão de melhorar a equalização e ou processos de masterização do áudio, o som é bom e, com muitos hits e fases, tudo em ordem aleatória, não seguindo a cronologia das canções.

Gut.

Genial colección de canciones de Michael Jackson en su etapa infantil. Siempre me pregunté porqué el señor Jackson no se dedicó a sacar canciones donde se disfrute solo su voz en lugar de hacer tanta cosa en todas sus canciones de adulto, y aquí esta la respuesta: porque ya lo había hecho. Gran colección.
