I'd buy that Jackson 5 quad mix Greatest Hits that was folded down to stereo... on CD. But not vinyl. I have a fair bit of vinyl including some lovely original issues of Stevie a wonder and J5...
I love this song but I don't think of it as 'lesser known' because it was a top ten hit in the U.K. Not issued in the U.S. though (which seems a poor decision).
Somewhere in a vault is a version...
I love this song. I think the album it's from is a great return to form [[much better than "Here My Dear") but it gets little recognition.
Other lesser known songs which I constantly return to are...
Your mileage may vary but I'd rather hear a single, unfinished or half finished untouched mumble from Marvin Gaye than 66 "contemporised' mixes of the material by Mark Ronson.
Reading the article and the description of rehearsals and studio chatter on the tapes, I was very interested. And then I got to this part:
"If we put our hands together and find the right people in...
I wasn't quite as fast.
I know it makes a person sound like an old man/woman... but that's the quote I seized on when I read this interview. Totally agree with it!
If you'll pardon my being a bit of a broken record on the subject, the standout track for me on this release is the awesome Stevie Wonder-produced/written smooth R&B jam, 'Buttercup.' Sounds like it...

As per Mjdestiny's link above, this is a Jackson 5 recording of 'Big Boy!' but which...
See also "I Can't Help It" from Off The Wall. I bet demos of all those Stevie songs exist somewhere and I'd kill to hear them. That recent-ish demo for Roberta Flack that someone discovered via the...
I can hear what you mean now but I remain unconvinced. "Definite" is a bit strong a description for the very light glottal stop I'm hearing. To me it just sounds like he rushed the next syllable a...
The Jackson 5 version of it is a gem. For me it was the stand-out track of the 'previously unreleased' disc 4 of Soulsation.
The unseen footage from recording "The Girl Is Mine' was brilliant to see. Hearing Mark Ronson say "I love Wanna Be Starting Somethin' when the drums go tttk tkt sshh" was tedious. Mixed bag for me,...
Totally agree - that song's a belter. And as I've said before, my mind is still utterly boggled by Tammi Terrell's "All I Do Is Think About You" not seeing a release until the 2000s. That song...
1. All I Do Is Think About You - Tammi Terrell
2. Can You Remember - The Jackson 5
3. I'll Wait For You To Come Home - Stevie Wonder
4. Out In The Country - Bobby Taylor
5. You Are Everything -...
I have listened to the start of this song about twenty times now trying to hear this supposed mistake, and I can't, if you'll pardon the pun. I tried on the [[unofficial) 5.1 mix and still couldn't...
My first thought was that it must have been the 'new' Marvin Gaye album 'You're the Man,' so that would have been three years ago. Still seems new to me and like most people, I buy CDs much more...
Can't really blame Michael for this but one of the absolute worst Jackson 5 songs is their cover of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water.' But Jermaine's on leads and it's the arrangement that's terrible so...
That I also have on vinyl, thanks to eBay. Is It Him Or Me? is a great tune. I think any of those boys could have a had a hit with the right song plus decent promotion.
I wonder if we'll ever get to hear the rest of the J5/Stevie Wonder sessions? Buttercup is amazing.
I have JJM on vinyl but I'd like to have it on CD too. It and "Boogie" are the only J5 albums I...
What do you think of Isaac Hayes' 19 minute version?

I saw Jimmy Webb in concert in Glasgow about five years ago and he was great. Told a lot...
In the last week I've watched Marvin Gaye featuring in two dramatic roles and he's actually not half bad. I'm sure many of you know this already but he has a major role in "Chrome and Hot Leather" -...
A Stevie deep, but fantastic cut: A Seed's a Star A Star Is A Seed/Tree Medley. One of the few actual songs on JTTSLOP, but it's brilliant.
I'll Wait for You To Come Home from Motown Unreleased...
I nearly fell off my chair reading that, being as I am a Glaswegian myself. That was unexpected.
They're now on YouTube and have replaced the previous official uploads of the videos. The colours on Thriller look amazing. I still think Beat It looks a bit fuzzy but it is 40 years old.
