The Jackson 5 Decide It’s Time To Cash In
We hate things that mislead or confuse us. Just the other week we decided to dine out at an all you can eat restaurant.
Pay your money and grab a plate, that’s the basic premise. Simple or what? Apparently not in our case. Many hours later, the management asked us to leave as we’d supposedly had too much and were ruining everything for everyone else. We beg to differ.
As far as we can remember, The Jackson 5 was made up of Marlon, Jackie, Tito, Michael and Jermaine. Quite recently, one of the members passed away, thus destroying anything that can kind of be marketed as The Jackson 5. But ballsacks to everyone, because the remaining brothers have decided to knock out a brand new compilation album featuring remixes and unreleased tracks. Holy hell, we hope Joe Jackson isn’t trying to impersonate Michael.
Out of all the Jacksons, everyone knows that Michael was the most loved out of the general public. Did you ever see Janet Jackson with a hilarious pet lion that got her into all sorts of jams? What about Tito Jackson, he’s never had any brushes with the law. You’d have thought that after all the attention Michael got during his various court cases, he’d follow suit and do something illegal to boost his popularity.
While many people are still in shock over the death of wonky-nosed Michael Jackson, this hasn’t stopped bucketloads of people cashing in on him. Various writers have unauthorised biographies in the pipeline, badly-printed merchandise is flying off the shelf and that annoying Welsh kid who sung at his memorial has seen an increase of work.
Of course, you’re always more popular when you die. In the case of Michael, he quite literally had the charts all to himself as millions of people repurchased CDs they already had. In the distance you’d just be able to hear the laughter of record company executives and the heavy wheezing of Joe Jackson. And now another release featuring Michael’s work in The Jackson 5 is coming out. Just in time for you to buy it as a disappointing Christmas gift.
To drum up excitement, an unreleased track That’s How Love Is will be released as a single. NME.com reports:
“The 12-track album, called ‘I Want You Back! Unreleased Masters’, is released on November 12. A single from the album, the previously unreleased track ‘That’s How Love Is’, has been released as a single on iTunes. You can listen to the track being streamed online at Ilovethatsong.com/jackson5. An alternate version of ‘Never Can Say Goodbye’ also features on the album.”
Crikey! We can’t wait. What’s next in the Michael Jackson money-making music line? Unreleased tapes of himself and Janet trying to teach Bubbles to sing along to Scream and Earth Song? Or samples of a compilation of adverts he promoted in audio form?
