Rare Jackson 5 album to be re-issued

December 5, 2021

Boogie is a compilation album of both previously released and unreleased tracks by The Jackson 5.

It was released by the Motown label under “Natural Resources” on January 16, 1979, after the release of the Jacksons’ Destiny (1978) a month earlier.

Boogie is considered the rarest of all Jackson 5/Jacksons releases, as not many albums were pressed and fewer were sold at the time.

Tracklist

1. Love’s Gone Bad (3:19)

2. I Ain’t Gonna Eat My Heart Out Anymore (3:00)

3. ABC (2:58)

4. I Was Made To Love Her (4:16)

5. One Day I’ll Marry You (2:58)

6. Never Can Say Goodbye (3:00)

7. Oh, I’ve Been Bless’d (2:50)

8. Penny Arcade (2:40)

9. Just Because I Love You (3:13)

10. Dancing Machine (2:36)

Boogie was available for a limited time from Hip-O Select, to complement Motown’s 2001 “2 Albums on 1 CD” re-issue set of the Jackson 5’s albums, on which some of these songs were issued as bonus tracks. Although only 5,000 copies were pressed, the album contains the previously unreleased full 15+ minute take of the song “Hum Along and Dance”. It was available for purchase on iTunes in 2014, but was since removed.

Two of the tracks on Boogie, “Love’s Gone Bad” and “I Was Made to Love Her”, were later featured on Michael Jackson’s 1986 compilation album, Looking Back to Yesterday.

The album will be re-released in January 2022 in a CD format by Netherland label “Music on CD”.

The album will be available across selected music stores in Europe.
