The Jacksons' Destiny (1978) and Triumph (1980) Now Expanded Editions!
6/25/2008 5:27:00 PM

In honor of its 30th anniversary, DESTINY, including two bonus tracks of rare 12-inch disco mixes previously unavailable on CD, and TRIUMPH, with three bonus tracks of rare 12-inch mixes also previously unavailable on CD, will both arrive in stores August 12th on Epic/Legacy, a division of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT.

The evolution that began in 1976, of the classic Motown teen hitmaking group the Jackson 5 into the independent grown-ups known forever after on Epic Records as the Jacksons – was a transition that did not happen overnight. But there is universal agreement that by the time they released their third album for their new label, 1978’s Destiny (with the worldwide hits “Blame It On The Boogie” and “Shake Your Body”), followed by 1980’s Triumph, the first RIAA platinum album of their career – both LPs self-produced for the first time, and (mainly) self-penned – the transition was complete.

“Three decades after its initial release,” writes Ernest Hardy of Destiny, “it’s still fresher - more potent, more substantive within its sturdy R&B/pop structure - than most of what you hear playing on the radio or streaming on the net today.” In honor of its 30th anniversary, DESTINY, including two bonus tracks of rare 12-inch disco mixes previously unavailable on CD, and TRIUMPH, with three bonus tracks of rare 12-inch mixes also previously unavailable on CD, will both arrive in stores August 12th on Epic/Legacy, a division of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT.

DESTINY and TRIUMPH represent the first expanded editions ever issued by Legacy on the Jacksons, from their catalog of seven original studio and live albums on Epic between 1976 (The Jacksons) and 1989 (2300 Jackson Street). They follow the February 2008 release of the two-disc CD+DVD 25th anniversary expanded edition of Michael Jackson’s THRILLER, which has sold over 2 million copies worldwide so far this year. Michael, celebrating his 50th birthday on August 29th, and the Jacksons will be among the focal points of Universal/Motown’s 50th anniversary campaign this fall.

I guess these 2 re-releases will be remastered.... Let's hope they will release the other albums also repacked with some bonustracks.... keep on dreaming
 
Re: The Jacksons Expanded Versions

those CD's are really important albums: the maturation of Michael Jackson as an artist.
You should go for them, you will not be disappointed.

Yes I know, they are great, I already have them :)
But I'm just getting so sick and tired of all these releases..
I'll probably end up bying them anyway
 
Re: The Jacksons Expanded Versions

I have some of the maxi singles already, so I assume they're going to be the same ones. If they are, then they have been on CD before (in Japan). I had this Right On! magazine (I don't know if I still have it or it got thrown out) that came out before the Victory album was released, and it was talking about songs that were recorded for the album. Several of the songs didn't make the album. I don't remember the names, I think one was called Lola. Maybe I'll see if I have the mag somewhere
 
Re: The Jacksons Expanded Versions

Maybe these remixes.....? But they said previously unreleased on CD....

http://www.discogs.com/release/669122

1Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground) (8:36)Engineer - Michael Barbiero
Remix - John Luongo
2Blame It On The Boogie (6:57)3Heartbreak Hotel (5:41)4Lovely One (4:50)5Can You Feel It (5:58)6Torture (4:52)

I have this CD. The reissues are probably USA, and they don't count a Japanese album as it wasn't released here, except as an import. But still, a couple of the remixes HAVE been on CD B4. But Torture is the album version, not the 12" version. Lovely One and Can You Feel It are the album versions also. A rare "Heartbreak Hotel" on CD, instead of "This Place", lol. I have the Walk Right Now 12". It's a bit different than the album version and has an instrumental on side 2. In this case, I don't think this version has been on CD or the Torture long version with the Jackie ad libs.

Great! I'm guessing that these will be remastered.
 
Re: The Jacksons' Destiny (1978) and Triumph (1980) Now Expanded Editions!-Aug re-release

oooooo im getting in on that! I don't own any of The Jacksons albums yet. I really need them!!!
 
Re: The Jacksons' Destiny (1978) and Triumph (1980) Now Expanded Editions!-Aug re-release

There should be unreleased tracks on the discs, but oh well....
 
Re: The Jacksons' Destiny (1978) and Triumph (1980) Now Expanded Editions!-Aug re-release

Glad to hear this! My Destiny CD is worn out, lol, and I never got Triumph so I will be in the store getting them! YAY! :D
 
Re: The Jacksons' Destiny (1978) and Triumph (1980) Now Expanded Editions!-Aug re-release

I've been waiting for ever for this to happen, so I'm really happy. They can hardly release them without remastering. I hope all fans who don't already own these albums take the opportunity to get them, because they are truly among MJ's best work.
 
Re: The Jacksons' Destiny (1978) and Triumph (1980) Now Expanded Editions!-Aug re-release

This pisses me off. I just completed my digital versions of these cuts!!! Damn! Why didn't they tell us earlier????:mat::mat:
 
Re: The Jacksons' Destiny (1978) and Triumph (1980) Now Expanded Editions!-Aug re-release

Great news, I can't wait to get these re-masters. Its be cool of they had new covers or booklets.
 
Re: The Jacksons' Destiny (1978) and Triumph (1980) Now Expanded Editions!-Aug re-release

Re: The Jacksons Expanded Versions

What's the difference between the single version and the album version of This Place Hotel?
 
Re: The Jacksons Expanded Versions

I think I may pick these up. The bonus tracks sound interesting.

No Victory album though?
 
Re: The Jacksons Expanded Versions

What's the difference between the single version and the album version of This Place Hotel?
I haven't heard the single version since the original release, I think it just leaves off the slow part at the end with the strings.

Re: The Jacksons Expanded Versions
