Disco de The Jackson 5: “Soulsation!”

First of all, I have to admit that I am so happy that I ordered and received this CD set in January 2009. It was hard to find, but so worth it. The music is filled with wonderful songs by the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons. Their music simply makes you happy -- and I play it anytime I want to cheer up. From songs like I Want You Back, ABC, Got To Be There and Sugar Daddy, to Dancing Machine, Get it Together and All I Do Is Think of You, true Jackson fans will be more than happy to listen to this music. The songs take you back to the past; they make you open your mouth and sing, or tap your foot on the floor. The Jacksons really were pros at making feel good music. I am thrilled to be an owner of this collection, especially now since some have hiked the price to almost $225. If you are lucky to get your hands on a copy, listen to it, cherish it, and cherish the memories that Michael, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon have given us through their talents. RIP M.J.J.

If you are a fan of the Jacksons, you're not a true fan until you have this set. All four disc have songs that easily should have made number one on the charts. The remakes michael sang on these discs, puts the origials to shame. This collection shows why he is today The King of Pop and the Jackson Five are the best teen group ever. THIS IS A MUST CD COLLECTION

very cool gets you in the mood to wear plaids and stripes together again love it

If you are an ultimate Jackson fan (like I am), than this album is definitely for you. I bought this collection when it first came out, but I bought it as cassettes. I don't have them in CD. But that's okay it's still a wonderful compilation of songs. Even the ones I hadn't heard of before were good.

I guess I'm not the biggest J5 fan around. I always thought I was. I think there was a reason why some of the unreleased tracks were never released. They are kind of boring. There are, of course, the exceptions. "I Can't Get Ready for Losing You" is a winner. As is "Let's Have a Party". But "Lulu", "I'm Glad it Rained", and "Coming Home" are a little anti-climatic for me. My copy of this lists a song called "You're All I Need" on the cover but the song is actually "Ooh I'd Love to Be With You" which I already had, I believe on Joyful Jukebox Music. This compilation was noteworthy when it first came out because a lot of the songs were on cd for the first time. The excellent "Moving Vioilation" for one. I could have done without all of the Christmas songs also. Also noteworthy is the inclusion of the Jackie Jackson solo song "Love Don't Want to Leave", which is a really good song. I know everybody has all their fave songs that were not included on here, but if you like "One More Chance" you probably have it already. If you don't it's readily available. I never really noticed before, but the album Maybe Tomorrow is not represented that well on here. Songs like Petals, The Wall, Honey Chile, in my book are classics. But like I said, we all have our faves and this is a minor complaint. All in all a wonderful compilation and great

packaging with an intro from Janet, liner notes from David Ritz with quotes from Bobby Taylor, and track by track listing with chart position and dates.
