Album Description
The 20th Century Masters series is the best-selling single-artist line in music history and is being re-released by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) in its ground-breaking, environmentally-friendly packaging format. A first for the music industry, the standard package (both sleeve and tray) will be completely paper-recyclable, continuing the company's long-standing commitment to being "green."To further reduce the amount of paper in the Eco-Pack, the CD booklet will no longer be offered. Official liner notes are easily accessible on the Internet at http://www.ilovethatsong.com/green.UMe is the first North American music company to replace the traditional jewel case with recycled paperboard sleeves and the plastic tray with trays made from PaperFoam, a new packaging technology from Shorewood Packaging, a business of International Paper, that is paper-recyclable and biodegradable. Shorewood Packaging is the first North American packaging supplier to produce disc trays from PaperFoam.

Not all of the J5 songs,were on the collection, and did not givea true growing periord of their time with Motown, but what was on the collection saves time in switching from one Cd or tape just to hear the songs that were listed

I wasn't that interested in the Jacksons during their heyday. In fact, it seemed like "kiddie rock" to me. And I guess it was in a way, but 30 years on, I'm wondering what's so bad about that. I had recently borrowed a Motown compilation from the library with the ballad "I'll Be There" included on it and was impressed with the overall production. Much of what had sounded a little blurred and tinny over my car radio back in the day sounded polished on my CD player. So I checked out this compilation as well to see if after three decades and multiple scandals, it didn't all deserve another listen.
And it does, by and large. By the 70s, Motown was putting out stuff that was pretty darn polished. There's also no denying that the prepubescent Michael Jackson was pretty darn precocious (apparently--before all that arrested development stuff seems to have set in). He can be a bit shrill here and there, but for the most part, he was already a real pro. Like many listeners who were already a bit older, however, some of that slickness and precociousness seemed a bit strange even then. It would get stranger.
But as music qua music, it holds up pretty well. The Jacksons were bubblegum, to be sure, but a better brand--and with better packaging, if you can forgive those 70s duds--than most.
 The Jackson 5 rocks... motown's greatest band ever! July 4, 2004

Micheal. Tito. Jermaine. Jackie. Marlon. The boys of motown. Though this CD would be a little better if it had a few more songs on it it is still a great CD. I love most of the songs on here. There are only four songs on this cd that I don't listen to regularly... and seven out of eleven isn't bad. Micheal's voice on "Never Can Say Goodbye" is a little shrill but it is still a really, really cool song. This is the only Jackson 5 or Micheal Jackson CD I have...but I think I'm gonna have to get Micheal Jackson's #1's and the Jackson 5 Ultimate Collection pretty soon. If you are a die-hard fan of the Jackson 5 and you don't have the ultimate collection...go for it... but if your just a a reasonable fan of the J5... get this CD.

This CD does not contain all of their best hits, but it comes very close. I love their music and most of my favorite songs are on this alblum. Not many people will find an album with every song they want to hear on it. I am very satisfies with the selections on this album.
