Product 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®.

4.0 out of 5 stars The gripping, infectious and electric sounds of The Jackson 5 !!!, January 23, 2007
By Matthew G. Sherwin (last seen screaming at Amazon customer service) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
The Jackson 5 burst onto the scene in 1969 with one of the strongest debut songs ever, "I Want You Back." The vocal and musical arrangements showcase the strength of the group and the rhythm of the melody just naturally makes you want to dance. Although Michael Jackson was a rather young boy to be featured so prominently, it never seemed to matter. In fact, his youthful, high-pitched voice makes the lyrics even more powerful in its own way.

The CD continues with three more smash hits for The Jackson 5: "ABC;" The Love You Save" and "I'll Be There." Again, the strength of the arrangements produces one cracker-jack hit after another. The fact that other artists perform covers of these songs to this day proves that these songs have a unique and powerful appeal.

"Never Can Say Goodbye" is beautifully delivered by Michael and the rest of the group; and the musical arrangement works very well to enhance the beauty of this ballad. Other great songs on this CD include "Got To Be There;" "I Wanna Be Where You Are" and "Dancing Machine." In addition, Jermaine Jackson does a great job on a cover of "Daddy's Home." Excellent!

The liner notes offer great color photos of the group as well as an informative essay by Brian Chin. The song credits are there, too.

Unfortunately, the CD clocks in at about 36 minutes even though there are eleven songs. That's 20th Century Masters for you--they simply never put enough music on the disc even when they have plenty of room for more. I will take off one star for that to make this a four star review.

The Jackson 5 remain one of the greatest groups of the 1970s. Their numerous rock and R&B hit songs display their infectious and positive energy. There's also a sense of urgency in the vocals that beckons you to listen carefully. You will enjoy each and every second of this song set as you dance in your living room to these hits.

This is a great CD for Jackson 5 fans or people who want to get more acquainted with The Jackson 5. I also recommend this CD for fans of that unmistakable Motown sound as well as R&B/Soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars great album geared toward the casual fan, January 12, 2008
By Matthew G. Sherwin (last seen screaming at Amazon customer service) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Jackson 5 is a budget priced CD best suited for the casual fan who just wants some of the very best of the artistry of The Jackson 5. We get twelve tracks which display their fine talent and there isn't a dud in the bunch. In addition, the quality of the sound is really quite good.

"I Want You Back" starts off the album with a great pop music number highlighting Michael's vocals while the rest of the group provides excellent harmonizing for the extra vocals. The number packs a lot of punch and the melody is quite catchy. "ABC" continues in the same vein; Michael sings this to perfection and that funky early `70s music makes this number even better. What a strong number!

Listen also for "The Love You Save" which carries a `70s pop flavor to it as they perform this without a superfluous note; and I like the musical arrangement a lot. "I'll Be There" and "Never Say Goodbye" has The Jackson 5 switching gears pretty quickly so show us just how well they could perform a ballad that was somewhat more serious and more mature sounding as well.

"Maybe Tomorrow" is a good number that I think they still could have replaced with another, stronger hit but many people will enjoy this tender song anyway. The album ends on a strong upbeat note with "Dancing Machine." "Dancing Machine" has an incredibly good beat to it and it will make you want to jump up and dance wherever you are!

This CD has "eco-friendly" packaging, so you'll have to go to the website listed above to find more information that would ordinarily have been printed in the liner notes.

Overall, this budget priced CD is full of great tunes by The Jackson 5. I recommend this for the casual fan; more diehard fans will already have these songs in their collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Jackson 5 rocks... motown's greatest band ever!, July 3, 2004
By A Customer
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.
