The Jackson 5 burst on the music scene like a ray of sunshine in late 1969, reeling off four consecutive No. 1 hits and inspiring worldwide Jacksonmania. They also recorded constantly, and a treasure trove of newly discovered, previously unreleased recordings by Michael, Jermaine, Jackie, Marlon and Tito are being released for the first time on Come And Get It: The Rare Pearls (Motown/Hip-oSelect/UMe), available September 18, 2012. Produced by Deke Richards, leader of “The Corporation™,” the Jackson 5’s original hit songwriting-production team, the extraordinary 32-track, 2-CD set — enough songs to fill three Jackson 5 albums — is housed in a special box with deluxe packaging that includes not only the two discs but a vinyl 7-inch single, rare photos, essays and detailed information.
Come And Get It: The Rare Pearls is rich with gems, among them “If The Shoe Don’t Fit,” a Corporation classic that coulda-woulda-shoulda been a smash hit. “Our Love,” led by Jermaine, is destined to become a new wedding favorite. “If You Want Heaven” updates the classic Motown sound, while “Iddinit,” “If I Can’t Nobody Can” and “Would Ya Would Ya Baby” hint at a new funk direction for the brothers. “Love Trip,” a ballad, points in the direction a solo Michael would take in the next phase of his career.
There are also striking covers, done J5-style, including “Mama Told Me Not To Come,” a No. 1 hit for Three Dog Night; Jackie DeShannon’s “Movin’;” the pop/soul perennial “Up On The Roof;” a Stax nugget, “I Got A Sure Thing;” Traffic’s “Feelin’ Alright,” in a studio version that became a staple of the J5 live show; and new versions of Motown chestnuts “You Can’t Hurry Love,” “Keep An Eye,” “I’m Your Sunny One (He’s My Sunny Boy)” (all originally by the Supremes); “Since I Lost My Baby” (Temptations); “Lets Go Back To Day One” (Eddie Kendricks); and “Label Me Love” (Different Shades Of Brown).
Bonus tracks are: producer Deke Richards’ original unedited version of “That’s How Love Is,” a rarity which first appeared on 2009’s I Want You Back!: The Unreleased Masters; Richards’ original extended mix for “If I Have To Move A Mountain,” an LP track issued in 1972; and a super treat for J5 fans, the demo for “Mama’s Pearl,” previously hidden deep in Deke’s personal vault.
Come And Get It: The Rare Pearls is housed in a unique package: a 7-inch square box packed with the discs in their own sleeves; an oversized booklet featuring detailed annotations, rare photos, and essays by Deke Richards and author/professor Mark Anthony Neal; and an actual 45-rpm, 7-inch vinyl single in a slick picture sleeve – “If The Shoe Don’t Fit” b/w “Feelin’ Alright.”

Yes...please! While I'd love to see Hip-O Select get off of Motown for a while and get some rock stuff out, I certainly can't pass something like this up.

Man, they should just release a Complete Jackson Five box. There's one in Japan called "Dear Michael" that has all the old two-fers (with bonus tracks), all the Hip-O Select releases, Hello World (Michael's solo collection), and a bonus disc (isolated Michael vocals? I forget).

And while we're at it, how about original Stevie Wonder albums? Or at least Where I'm Coming From.

A not-as-special edition of David Ruffin would be nice (I missed out on that one, and I love his version of "I Want You Back").

Bump: Added Amazon pre-order link to the first post. (Less expensive if you can bear to wait.)

Another great job by Hip-O. Disc 2, especially, is dazzling. Love the J5's version of "Up On The Roof."

Yep, this is a wonderful set. I will say, though, that as fun as it is to hear the complete version of "That's How Love Is," it's better in its shortened form form the Unreleased Masters comp from 2009.



You're getting your wish on October 9th regarding the Ruffin. The only difference is that it will be in a standard jewel case, but notes, tracks, etc., are all the same.

Just got mine in the mail today from amazon, thanks for the heads up on this. I don't miss the limited edition gold number, and really don't miss the digipack of the original pressing.
