A Treasure Chest Of Artists And Their Classic Cuts.......2007-04-13

Over the years Motown Records has repackaged its legendary artists and hits to varying degrees of commercial and critical success. And as with many labels it seemed at times that the retrospectives became more important to the company coffers than developing new talent or promoting new releases by existing artists.

Without investing in the pricey boxed CD sets, this collection is perhaps the best of the Motown bunch, with 40 songs that captures the true essence of what made the label great; artists who believed in their music, songs that told real stories and hooks that are as infectious today as they were when initially issued all those years ago.

Barrett Strong's Money (That's What I Want), the Four Tops' I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch), Going To A Go Go by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles and the Supremes' You Can't Hurry Love are great examples of complex themes that are wonderfully told within a commercial - Top 40 -radio format.

The juxtaposing of I Heard It Through The Grapevine by Gladys Knight & the Pips and Marvin Gaye is an especially nice touch. And though artists like Bruce Springsteen and Frankie Goes To Hollywood have recorded War, nothing beats the powerful vocals of Edwin Starr.

This is not a smorgasbord sampler that's tossed together with little thought; the two CDs are a treasure chest of legendary artists and the songs that defined a generation.

I heard it through the grapevine ..........2007-03-25

... that you might be considering this CD. Well, grab it! It pulls in lots of hits, even from the very beginning, you can hear how Motown seems to have started in a basement, to the empire it became.

Absolutely Fantastic!!.......2007-02-11

This CD is the absolute best! Every single song brings back a flood of memories. When listening to this CD you will be able to "see" the performers singing their great music when they were on t.v. way back when. If anyone has lived through this great era, they will be able to sing to every single song on this CD. I have previewed and/or bought other Motown CDs but were disappointed with every other song. However, this one is the best. (Even my 15 year old sings along with these songs.) Will the songs that are being sung today be considered the great oldies of tomorrow? I think NOT. These songs on this CD will live on longer because they are the best!

One of my Favorite CDs.......2006-10-29

This is a great collection of Motown songs. I have run two marathons listening to these CDs and they have really kept me going. Definately recommend it to anyone looking for a Motown CD.

Another great Motown Classics CD.......2006-05-31

This is the 5th Motown Classics compilation I have, the previous four are "20 Greatest Songs in Motown History" issued in 1985, " Motown Elite 9000 series" in 1987, "Motown - the Hits Collection volume 1" in 1994 and "Motown 40 Forever" in 1998. I just love to buy these Motown compilations as everytime it will give a new look and experience of these classics even though most of the selections are the same. This latest instalment of mine surprised me, by having the stereo version of "Please Mr. Postman". I have the two cds set "The Marvelettes - Deliver the singles 1961- 1971", the songs are all remastered in the original mono master, and the mono version is a mandatory version included in some of the above compilations, so this is the first time that I heard it in stereo. Another surprise is "My girl", my No.1 favorite Motown Classics, the version here has a much clearer vocal, and the remastering sound is gorgeous. "Heatwave" by Martha and the Vandellas is also remastered to perfection, the most common version is the 'fake stereo' version with lots of echo added, Martha's vocal is shifted to the left, here we have the genuine stereo version and the sound of the accompanying instruments can be clearly heard. When listening to this compilation, it seems that you are hearing a new version of these classic songs.

Memories In Every Song.......2007-04-11

i came of age to this music. good times and bad times, war and peace.

Easy to sing with!!.......2006-08-10

These ageless classics are Great. This mix of songs really gets you back to the 60's, crusin' main street, school days, sock hops after the football game, and teenage love. Wow! Great times and Great music!!!!

'60s: Gold Various Artists.......2006-08-03

This series Gold, put out by Universal Music Co. is usually of top quality. Culling from the vast Universal Catalog, the '60s, has an excellent selection of well known standards as well as several "hard to find " chestnuts. The sound quality is very good and 40 songs, make this a thrifty purchase for the asking price.

+ 1/2 stars...'60s GOLD Will Satisfy That Nostalgia Craving.......2006-07-18

'60s GOLD is the latest release in Hip-O Records' "Gold" series. As usual they do a fine job in remastering and song selection--and amazon.com's discounted price makes this a real bargain! I have purchased several previous "Gold" series releases (SOUTHERN ROCK, '70s, BLUES, among others) and have always been pleased, and this is no exception.

However, here are a few points to consider:

*Most of these tracks are from the mid-Sixties. Twenty-six of the tracks were released from 1964 to 1967--eleven from 1967 alone! [Note: All tracks are presented chronologically.]

*There is a heavy emphasis on Motown hits. [Five of which are duplicated from MOTOWN GOLD.] My only concern is why was it necessary to include three(!) Supremes songs?

*The British Invasion is represented by only three artists--The Mindbenders, The Troggs and Procol Harum. The heavy hitters (Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Who, et. al.) are missing. Also, two of America's biggest bands--The Beach Boys and The Doors--are also MIA.

*Finally, with each disk under sixty minutes, it would have been easy to add another ten to twelve tracks and perhaps rectify some of the above concerns.

But if you're looking for a collection of songs guaranteed to satisfy your Sixties nostalgia craving, there are few releases that will provide that fix better than '60s GOLD. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

New fans: This is the one to get.......2007-05-25

For anyone reading this who became curious about Gladys Knight after seeing her on the American Idol finale, this is by far best collection to get.

Albums.......2007-01-09

I have ordered several music CD's. All have been received in perfect condition and in a timely manner. I will never shop any other place again for music CD's !!!!!

Finally!.......2006-11-18

Because Gladys & the Pips recorded for so many labels, until now there has been no single collection which includes tracks from all of those labels -- a most annoying situation. Hip-o has been able to get their hands on everything, finally, and put it into a concise, chronologically-arranged collection. The remastering is pretty meticulous and the price tag is amazing. Bravo!

It's all I need.......2006-07-06

Loved Gladys Knight growing up and had to come back to my roots. This is a great compilation of the group's work at a great price. Two weeks ago, I paid 2X the current $10.99 for the 2-disk set and thought it well worth the price.

By far the best Pips set ever! All the hits in one place!.......2006-06-28

Gladys Knight and the Pips are one of the most successful groups in R & B history. Gladys' ultrasoulful voice was a nice blend of southern warmth and fiery gospel, while the Pips provided tuneful backup that contained plenty of character. They recorded for several labels over the years and this two-disc 39-track collection includes recordings from all of them. It is a huge improvement from the 18 track Essential collection from 1999 that also sampled all of their previous labels.

This chronological retrospective leads off with 1961's "Every Beat Of My Heart" (versions of which charted on both Vee-Jay and Fury) and its follow-up on Fury "Letter Full Of Tears" (written by the great Don Covay). A move to the Maxx label resulted in 1964's enclosed minor hit "Giving Up" (written by future disco star Van McCoy).

At this point Gladys & the Pips were major stars on the chitlin circuit, but mainstream success eluded them until they joined Motown in 1966. The collection includes 13 of their biggest Motown hits, such as the frenetic original version of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" and the lovely ballads "If I Were Your Woman" and "Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye)." It's a good overview of their Motown years. It you want more of their recordings from this era, I suggest you check out the 22-track Ultimate Collection from 1997.

In spite of their successes at Motown, Gladys and the Pips always felt like second-class citizens there (Miss Ross of course always got preferential treatment) and moved over to Buddah in early 1973 when their Motown contract was up. It was at Buddah that they made their most memorable music and this set includes (again) 13 of their biggest hits there, among them their signature song "Midnight Train To Georgia," the funky barnburner "On And On" (from the film Claudine), the heartbreaker "Part Time Love," and an effective live version of "The Way We Were" teamed with "Try To Remember." This is by far my favorite period of Pip music and it is nice to see every key Buddah track included here.

A jump to Columbia in 1979 resulted in a lot less hits than their tenures at Motown and Buddah reaped, but there were a few great moments, such as the enclosed Grammy winner "Save The Overtime For Me," the majestic "Landlord," and a version of "Hero (Wind Beneath My Wings)" that remains definitive. A move to MCA in 1987 brought Gladys & the Pips' last number one r & b hit - another Grammy winner - the call & response funkster "Love Overboard" and it's equally rowdy follow-up "Lovin' On Next To Nothin'." They're both here. The set then closes with Gladys' theme for the James Bond film LICENSE TO KILL as well as the two standout tracks from her Good Woman solo album from 1991: "Men" and "Superwoman" (the latter a collaboration with good friend Dionne Warwick and Patti LaBelle).

This strong, strong retrospective puts all other Pip sets to shame. It's all of the Gladys Knight that most people will ever need.

Essential For Anyone's Record Collection.......2006-09-10

Marvin Gaye is quite simply one of the finest talents in the entire history of American music, and this collection is proof of that.

"Gold" includes just about every major Marvin classic you need, including "Can I Get A Witness", "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)", "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" (with Tami Terrell), "What's Going On", "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)", the timeless "Let's Get It On", "Got To Give It Up" (all 11 minutes) and "Sexual Healing", as well as a healthy dose of rarer tracks such as a previously unreleased stereo mix of the gospel classic "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" and the never before heard "Where Are We Going?" as well as much more.

All this and digitally remastered sound and great liner notes makes this a must have for any record collection.

Inferior Rehash of 'The Very Best Of Marvin Gaye' 2 CD Set.......2006-07-30

Since 'Gold' is nothing but an inferior rehash duplicate of 'The Very Best Of Marvin Gaye' CD set, I'll repeat most of my previous review here. While the music on this latest compilation is great, it's missing A VERY ESSENTIAL MARVIN CLASSIC....'After The Dance'!! This 2 CD set (nice packaging though!!) is a MAJOR FAILURE without 'After The Dance', and THERE IS enough room for it's inclusion (I remastered the set myself to include 'After The Dance' & more!!).

Also, instead of too many 'filler songs' from the so-so 'Here My Dear' CD, they could've (& should've!) included masterpieces like 'Save The Children', 'Flying High In The Friendly Sky', and Marvin's awesome 'Till Tomorrow' from his Midnight Love CD (1983). The rare track 'Where Are We Going ?' is nice, BUT by releasing this incomplete collection, Motown missed the boat AGAIN!

I advise everyone to remaster this set (with the proper software) & do Marvin some justice, since Motown continues to miss the mark!!! In the end, you'll have a CD set to REALLY be proud of!

GRADE for 'Gold' (a.k.a.'The Very Best Of Marvin Gaye')
Cover Art/Packaging...2 Stars!!
Tracklisting gets...1 Stars!!
OVERALL GRADE...1.5-2.0 STARS!!

From that stubborn kind of fellow to the midnight man: the best of Marvin Gaye.......2006-03-06

From first glance, when you look at something like a cover of a greatest hits album like this, you think 'wow, nice rare photo' and then you put the album in and the same stuff you had in the other greatest-hits album of the same artist is reduced to rubbish.

Not the case with Marvin Gaye. Re-released after UTV ran out of copies of "The Very Best of Marvin Gaye" (which probably had a better booklet than the one in "Gold" but hey), "Gold: Marvin Gaye" integrates Marvin's early 1960s beginnings when he was mixing rock, blues and gospel (or soul music) in songs like "Stubborn Kind of Fellow", "Hitch Hike" and "Pride & Joy", his mid-1960s soul discovery in songs like "How Sweet It Is", "I'll Be Doggone" and "Ain't That Peculiar", his late-1960s duos with Tammi Terrell (with the Kim Weston duet added in good measures), his late-1960s coming out party as a gritty soul belter in songs like "You", "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby", "That's the Way Love Is" and his 1968 masterpiece, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" together with the 1970's gems that we all know and love like "What's Going On", "Mercy Mercy Me", "Inner City Blues", "Trouble Man", "Let's Get It On", "Come Get to This", the live version of "Distant Lover" (shown in its full six and some twenty minutes), "I Want You", and the entire 11-minute "Got to Give It Up" and his early-1980s funk/soul synthesis/gem "Sexual Healing". All in all presenting 20 years of one amazing man's work with these rare gems:

*An unreleased version of his rendition of the old gospel standard, "His Eye Is On the Sparrow" (1968)
*Rare socially conscious gems like "You're the Man" and "Where Are We Going" (both in 1972)
*The obscure 1979 single "Ego Tripping Out"
*The also very obscure single, "Anger" from his 1978 album, "Here, My Dear"
*And finally 1981's "Praise"

If you want to complain about the negativities of how the CD was produced and shipped, go ahead, the music is all I need and as long as I discover rare Marvin gems between the classics. It's all good because I have the best of both worlds: a 2-tape anthology set that has more unreleased and rare gems (including a rare unreleased version of "Ego Tripping Out" with Marvin going "only one way!"), another hits album that includes a rare '72 doo-wop gem and this album and a rare album full of other rare gems in Marvin's tank.

I'm set with Marvin for life.

P.S., "Where Are We Going" is the cut! Go get it for the song and the entire 11-minute "Got to Give It Up" alone! It's worth it, trust me.

Great Compilation.......2006-01-22

Although i grew up listneing to oldies with my dad, i was never the biggest Marvin Gaye fan until i went out on a limb and bought this cd... The entire second disc is fantastic, and you can buy these "Gold" reissues at a relatively cheap price for the amount of quality music you get. This is definitely a staple in any Marvin Gaye fans cd collection as it covers all his great tunes. My favourite tracks are "Where are We Going" and "Trouble Man", but the whole cd is a good listen.

I haven't tried to burn it, so..........2005-12-13

...I can only comment on the artist and the song selection. For those two aspects of this compilation, I give 5 stars without hesitation. This guy was really unbelievable. Every song is an instant winner, which is pretty incredible when there are fully 34 songs. Marvin Gaye is almost good enough to make me renounce rock and roll; he certainly played a big part in showing me that there is more out there than just rock and roll. I don't know, if you feel the need to burn your CDs, then go for another compilation--although there really aren't any others as comprehensive as this one. But please, however you decide to do it, GET SOMETHING BY MARVIN GAYE. You don't know music until you do.

SUPREME REMASTER, STEREO ORIGINALS.......2006-05-13

LIKE OTHER COMILATIONS OF THE SUPREMES THIS CONTAINS ALL THE GREATEST HITS, BUT NOW IT REALLY SOUNDS BETTER, CLEARER 6 LOUDER, IF YOU WERE WAITING FOR A WORTH REMASTERER OF THE SUPREMES NOW IS IS HERE.

The Best of the Best!.......2005-08-02

There aren't many girl groups past or present that can even begin to live up to the legacy of The Supremes. Through a period of 16 years (1961-1977) and many different line-ups, they managed a long string of massive hits all over the world, including 12 US number one singles, all of which are featured on this CD. "Gold" gives fans and new listeners a chance to hear the very best of the worlds best girl group.
The first CD features all the hits from 1963-1967, featuring the classic line-up of Diana Ross on lead, backed by Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard. The massive hits such as "Baby Love", "Where Did Our Love Go?", "You Can't Hurry Love" and "Stop! In The Name Of Love" all sound brilliant here - digitally remastered and in great quality. However, there are also some hidden gems worth checking out, particularly "Ask Any Girl" (the B-side to "Baby Love") and "Everything Is Good About You", which could have easily been a single in it's own right.
Moving on to the second disc and it begins with some of the later Diana Ross-era tracks (after Florence Ballard had been replaced by Cindy Birdsong in the line-up). The songs here are more soulful than the earlier pop hits, such as "Reflections" and "Forever Came Today". Some songs such as "Love Child" and "I'm Livin' In Shame" are social commentaries of the time.
Finally, the second disc gives the listener the chance to hear some of the post-Diana hits.
In 1970, Diana left and was replaced on lead by Jean Terrell. Some of the songs from this period are some of the Supremes' all time best. Jean's soulful voice really livens up excellent songs, such as "Stoned Love", "Nathan Jones", "Floy Joy" and "Up The Ladder To The Roof" (all UK top 10 hits), as well as a brilliant cover of "Love Train".
The line-up changed again in 1973, when Jean left and was replaced on lead by Scherrie Payne (sister of Freda Payne who had a hit with "Band Of Gold" in 1970). Scherrie's powerful voice stands out on disco tracks, such as "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking" and "You're my Driving Wheel", which are amongst The Supremes last ever chart hits.
The Supremes "Gold" is essential for all music fans to have in their collection. It shows the brilliance of a group who have never been (and probably never will be) bettered. On top of the great music, the artwork is excellent as well, featuring pictures of all the different group line-ups, and the sound quality on this CD is excellent. I cannot recommend it enough - buy it today!

The Supremes Go Gold.......2005-05-15

Whether you're a newcomer, or a longtime fan of The Supremes, this compilation is a must have. Disc one features Diana Ross and the Supremes' Greatest Hits volumes 1&2. Disc two features DRATS' Greatest Hits volume 3 and for the first time on cd ever, At Their Best, a sampling of The Supremes' hits from the 70's. The booklet features all of the albums' origianl cover art along with full page photos of Diana, Mary & Flo; Diana, Mary & Cindy; Jean, Mary & Cindy; and Mary, Scherrie & Susaye. I highly reccomend this compilation for anybody who loves The Supremes.

5 Stars But...........2005-04-30

Disc One is actually "Diana Ross & The Supremes Greatest Hits Volumes 1 & 2" from 1967 and Disc Two is 1970's "Greatest Hits, Volume 3" plus the Ross-less Supremes collection "At Their Best", the latter alone being previously unavailable on CD. It's nice to have all the hits with and without Diana Ross in one great-sounding package, but true afficianados will prefer "Antholgy", which better showcases the Supremes' range by including non-hits, several fine album tracks, and more.

GOOD FOR NEWCOMERS, BUT OTHERWISE......................2005-04-29

Here it is, Supremes fans, the CD you've been waiting for!
This is the zillionth Supremes hits compilation on the
market, adding absolutely nothing new to their catalog other
than a new cover photo and serial number. Why anyone who is
already a fan would buy this is beyond me. I will say, however,
that for a novice who wants to discover the Supremes, it's
okay. HEY UNIVERSAL EXECS, how about releasing some of these
on remastered DOMESTIC cd's: Supremes At The Copa, Love Child,
I Hear A Symphony, TCB, An Evening With Diana Ross, Diana Ross
(1976 classic), Live At Caesar's Palace, Surrender or some of
the unreleased stuff you've got sitting around? Oh wait, then
you'd have to actually spend a few thousand dollars! Well,
we Motown fans will be anxiously awaiting the next Supremes
Anthology. Can't wait to hear "Baby Love" again!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS THE ONE TO GET........2006-09-19

Most audiophiles are aware that Motown has mostly a mess for original tapes. There are also many monoaural tracks peddled on too many 'greatest hits' compilations. More to the point: this is the best Temptations CD I have heard -- better than Compact Command Performance.

It sounds as thought some tracks are the 'electronically rechanneled for stereo listening" versions. But, hey, ... what are you gonna do? You want Temps or not?

It also seems through my old Sony V900 headphones that they went too heavy on the bass. If you have Cooledit, or something similar, you may wish to use it on these tracks.

All considered, I can tell you I was in high school when Cloud Nine came out, and I am really enjoying listening to all of these cuts!

This is the one to get, alright.

5 stars minus 1 for redundancy.......2005-05-11

Definitely 5-star material, performances, and sound quality, but this is a complete clone of the recent "My Girl : The Best of..." anthology. It all comes down to packaging, and therefore the nod goes to "My Girl" for its ample track-by-track notes and commentary by original Tempt Otis Williams.

Everything He Touched.......2006-12-28

These days, there are just so many classic acts of the Motown era that've been all but forgotten, in favor of soul wannabe acts like Ciara, Ashanti, and Ruben Studdard from American Idol that just don't have the appeal of the classic days of soul that were just astonishing. That happened long ago, especially with Smokey Robinson. Even though he hasn't scored a hit record in years, the soulfulness he has made for so many eras of lovers has not lost its edge. The songs still are just delightful to listen to. Now, another hits record has surfaced that shines so bright on one of the most classic singers of all time.

The 2006 Smokey Robinson & The Miracles Gold, is a nearly definitive, and well-conjured hits record that showcases Smokey, and 40 of his biggest hits on his own, and with his defiant era as a part of The Miracles. The Motown classics here have all be restored very well, and bring out the best songs in a longtime. The album includes great classics like Tears Of A Clown, the somber Tracks Of My Tears, Ooh Baby Baby, Shop Around, and many other classics. The collection also delivers brightly with Smokey on his solo efforts, a little better than last year's My World: Definitive Collection on songs like Let Me Be The Clock, Crusin', the #1 R&B soul hit Being With You, and Just To See Her. Sadly though, the collection overlooks a few great tracks from Smokey's solo efforts like I Must Have Made Love To You A Thousand Times, and his 1990 #2 hit Everything You Touch.

All in all, despite a few overlooked songs, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles Gold is a delightful reintroduction to one of the most soulful songers, and classic Motown groups of all time. If you love some of the classic era Motown than this is a must buy for you, as well as die hard Smokey Robinson fans. If you haven't heard any of these classics before, than I also suggest this great buy, just to hear him again.

Smokey's Definitive CD.......2006-08-17

If you are looking for a definitive CD with the majority of the tracks in true living stereo, this is the one. Of all of the collections, this is his best effort. Not only do you get the best from Smokey & the Miracles, but you also get Smokey as an individual. This is one of the only CDs that has THE Best Stereo version of I Don't Blame You At All. There is no filler here. Pure great Soul music from the 60's. The only two hits missing are Do It and Love Machine by just the Miracles. Otherwise, for the first time listener or for the veteran fan, this is the CD to purchase. Great sound, production, stereo, and that magic voice of Smokey. This is a winner. Pure Gold!

Great Compilation! But..................2006-05-31

This is one of the best compilations of the Jackson 5 you will find on the market at this time. The remastering job of these 30 plus year old tracks is astounding! However of all these hits there are two main top charters that were left out. Got To Be There and Where You Are. Big mistake. These two tracks should have been added or they should have replaced two of the less popular ones. Great buy for old school Jackson 5 fans.

No superlative good enough for this found in my thesaurus.......2006-03-16

Below you will find a lengthy analysis of the opening song on this record "I want you back." If a single song can generate this kind of response, imagine the musical content of the entire 21 song record.

This song obliterates me. All the performances are incredible, including, to quote a friend, Michael's astounding, dumbfounding lead vocal.

The bass part sounds to me as if it came straight from the composer and arranger, but in any matter it's stuffed full with inventive ideas and super fonky! Given the calculated nature of this recording I would expect the arranger to have worked out the bass part note for note. The recording is a careful tapestry of many sounds that blend together to give the overall effect. The intro is a good example. The melody played by the bass is wonderful, but that melody is doubled by other instruments plus other things are woven around that melody, all indicating that the arranger wrote it all out note for note, the bass player serving to faithfully play the arrangement.

(Un)fortunately, any excellence in other portions of this song is obscured by Michael's unbelievable vocal. So much stuff, so much soul, so much range and flexibility. This vocal is way in the unbelievable range for any artist. But to come from a brand new 11 year old is, as my friend put it so well, "dumbfounding." (Look at other Jackson 5 records here on Amazon to hear the mentioned snippets.)
*He sounds a little hoarse and that increases the authority.
*The way he uses subtle, rhythmic vibrato on the word "me" in the phrase "won't you please let me back in your heart." (Hear this on the Amazon snippet.)
*The pause and surprise attack on the word "back" in the same phrase. (Hear this on the Amazon snippet.)
*The screaming with 100% authority.
*The drifting out of tune on the words "now, baby, yeah" in the phrase "Yes I do now, Oh oh baby, yeah yeah yeah yeah, Nah Nah no no." (Is there a technical term for this "drifting out of tune" vocal technique?) (Hear this on the Amazon snippet.)
*The authority and inventiveness and soul of the scatting on that same phrase and other scats in the song, including the various fun "Huh"s.
*The natural way he does the call and response sections with his brothers.
*The perfect timing all over the place, including jumping on some of the responses a little early.
*The exciting vocal build on the phrase "All I want, all I need, all I want, all I need!" with the fantastic atonal exclamation on the second "all I want."
And on and on. You could almost analyze every single note the guy sings. The fact that this guy could do this at 11 years old shows beyond any question that singing at this level requires talent given to you directly by God. You can't get it and you can't learn it. God either gave it to you or He didn't. My guess is that some genius worked out most of this stuff and recorded a track for Michael to sing along with during the session. I mean God given talent or not, Michael could not have come up with that stuff on his own, atonal, drifting out of tune, etc. But to even sing along and get these results....incredible. Plus, who was that singing genius that came up with all that stuff?

Other great parts of the song are the pervasive background vocals, the excellent call and response, the subtle, almost inaudible use of strings and background vocalizing, and the various guitar parts that weave an interesting tapestry.

One thing that I think is ground breaking but at the same time takes away from this arrangement is the calculated, restrained drum part. The drum part sounds completely canned, written out and played note for note. It's not exuberant; instead it's carefully restrained. To my ears it sounds too mellow for this joyous, raucous romp. But it's groundbreaking because this style of drumming became prevalent later and today in the 2000s you rarely hear any drum pyrotechnics in favor of a steady drum beat that does not break the flow of the song.

I wonder if all the vocals on this recording are Jacksons? I assume they are and that shows the talent of this family and the quality of this product.

Excellence and analysis of each individual part aside, the real value of this song, besides Michael's vocal which you simply can not retire to the background, is the overall sound. Each part is carefully calculated and blended to create a unique, exuberant, joyful, new, and instantly recognizable sound that's unlike anything that had been heard before. Though each part is worthy of study, perhaps the best way to listen to this song is with a 6 inch speaker through an AM radio in your car. And isn't that the way it was meant to be?

GREAT COVERAGE OF THE EARLY WORK.......2005-07-30

This is the definitive collection for those who want the Jackson 5 work without getting all the early albums. My faves are from toward the end of that period, with songs from the Dancing Machine album.

"Dancing Machine" was huge in its day. The original full-length version first appeared as a cut on the Get It Together album. The song was so big it was remixed into a single 45 version, and that single version became the title track for the next album.

(On this collection you get the original full LP version from Get It Together. And it is good to have. Especially if you are not buying the individual early albums. If you want the single version of "Dancing Machine", it can be found on a number of 70's compilations. I have it on an import entitled, The Very Best Of The Jacksons, a worthwhile collection for the later work of the group.)

The next single from Dancing Machine was the masterpiece "I Am Love" and I'm thrilled they included the full version, as well as the album's follow-up, "Whatever You Got I Want", plus the infectious "Life Of The Party". You can also appreciate how The J5 evolved into the Jacksons by listening to this body of work.

All in all it is the best collection of the early J5 music.

It's the SAME OLD SONGS - With a Different Package............2005-04-25

I agree with the other reviewers - these are the same songs from previous releases - JUST DRESSED UP WITH A DIFFERENT COLORED PACKAGE - way to go, Motown!

It's the Jacksons.......2005-04-07

All this is is just the same music with a different title. I have every J5 greatest hits and all of the songs from those albums are on this album. But I have to give it at least three stars because they are the Jacksons, and being that I am a die hard fan its only right.
