It comes with the album Abbey Road on vinyl, a magazine -more of a pamphlet really- dealing with the album, a large poster of all the albums to collect and a binder to keep the magazines in. 22 more of these will be released -23 in all! All their albums as well as the fan favorites The Red and The Blue hits collections, the Anthology 1, 2 and 3 series, #1&#8217;s and the At The BBC albums. I played my Abbey Road album just now and it sounds great.

So.....Could they, should they and would they do the same for MJ? Would you buy it? Would it sell well? I think it would be a great way to bring MJ&#8217;s music back to the masses; shops that don&#8217;t normally stock music selling MJ&#8217;s albums on vinyl with a magazine dealing with that issues album; a different one to collect every fortnight. The first in this Beatles set &#8216;Abbey Road was their last album of recordings &#8211;Let It Be was recorded before it and Phil Spector later drafted in to piece it together and add orchestrations- so this is kept interesting by not releasing everything chronologically.

They sell everything in magazine form right now from build your own CP30/R2-D2 of Star Wars to the DeLorean of Back To The Future!

So I estimate roughly 28 albums from Diana Ross Present&#8217;s to Invincible. If that&#8217;s too much a few could possibly be left out such as Get It Together -Dancing Machine features on the album of the same name- Moving Violation as it was only released as a way to cash in before they released their first Epic album and the album title is a bit of an Insult, and anything else that contained the same songs.

Obviously the immediate red-tape is Motown but surely it would be in their interest to partner up as 12 of the albums -8 J5/4 MJ solo- would be from them -the golden age of Motown too!-and each magazine with Motown albums would be talking about the Motown days.

So would you buy it? Is it viable? Or is it all a money racket that will cost a person the bones of 500 quid?!! The first would come with a giant poster, binder, and magazine. First issue would have to be one of the mega selling solo albums to hook people in and make them part with their cash. I&#8217;m thinking Off The Wall on 180 gram vinyl -just like The Beatles vinyl- all for the introductory price of 9:99! I say use this Beatles offering as the blueprint. After that it would go up to around 20 pounds and some of the albums would be double vinyls &#8211;Dangerous/Invincible, some would be triple -HIStory- and possibly the Ultimate Collection. For certain things like HIStory rather than have the thick giant book &#8211; it wouldn&#8217;t be cost effective- the booklet would come in the form of inserts to keep costs down. Each one from this set would be collectable.

So rather than each one being released in order, to keep it fresh and exciting, the order would look something like this &#8216;Off The Wall, ABC, Triumph, Got To Be There, Invincible, Diana Ross Present&#8217;s, Goin&#8217; Places, Forever Michael, Victory, Skywriter, Bad, Third Album, Destiny, HIStory etc. Obviously the jumbled up order would be much better thought out than this and everything would be spaced out to perfection so you would get a solo album, J5 album, Jackson&#8217;s album etc. Some weeks would be really exciting &#8211;The Jackson&#8217;s Live album- and other weeks you'd learn something and listen to an album you weren&#8217;t overly familiar with -or never heard before- and could end up really loving.

Wow, that's weird. I saw the advert for that & thought about an MJ (and Madonna & Prince versions).

I probably would if the vinyk quality was up to (ahem) scratch.

Would only really want post Motown though

Great minds.... Ok, without the Motown albums would you include Posthumous releases? What about Destiny and Triumph? Would be quite something to have The Ultimate Collection on vinyl.

Not sure I'd be bothered about full TUC, but a version of just the unreleased stuff e.g. Sunset Driver, We've Had Enough etc.

Definitely Destiny, Triumph and Victory. I'd want original artwork and pressings though. No George Lucas style ****ery with the originals.

would like all of the unreleased stuff collected on one set; The Ultimate Collection, Demos from the Special Editions, One More Chance, For All Time, Got The Hots, Bad25, the 6 tracks from Michael and the original demos from the deluxe Xscape.
 
Yes, properly mastered. The recent 2016 vinyl releases used the iTunes masters, which i would pass on.

Is that magazine going to do the stereo or mono versions of the LPs Aaron? Im in the middle of collecting the Beatles mono LPs because they mostly sound betted (other than the White Album).

Also, anything for a decent pressing of HIStory, with original mixes and BOTDF. I know ill end up spending silly money for a 2nd hand pressing

This Beatles series is in Stereo. It sounds good to me but then I'm no expert. Think I should leave these albums and go for the Mono's? Man I really love Abbey Road.

What do you reckon would be the ideal way for an MJ series like this? Include Motown or keep it to Epic/Sony with the Jackson's albums?
 
Actually probably keep it simple and just any proper Jacksons album onwards. So I think that's Destiny thru Invincible.

I like the idea of the Jacksons Destiny/Triumph/Victory and also Michael as a 7 -never gonna happen- track album and Xscape Deluxe.

They should definitely tap into the latest vinyl craze! It's another opportunity for them to release Thriller again.

Destiny, Off The Wall, Truimph, Thriller, Victory, Bad, Dangerous, HIStory, Blood On The Dance Floor, Invincible, Ultimate Collection, Michael -Cascio tracks removed-, Xscape! One a month with The Ultimate Collection coming out as the last one in late December in time for Christmas. More afordable for fans and casuals.

I reckon a lot of casuals would buy this, especially OTW, Thriller & Bad. So many fans would buy The Ultimate Collection because it would be the first time that set would be made available on vinyl, even if it was just the unreleased material.

I don't see why any albums should be left out. I would only buy it if it was a complete collection

As in from Motown to Invincible? It's probably too many albums that would run up the cost and possibly low sales on the lesser known albums. I would love it but the more I think about it, it's probably unrealistic. Thriller would sell out but Moving Violation would be returned -possibly-

On the other hand all the adult solo's plus the 3 essential Jackson's albums, plus a set of rarities -Ulltimate Collection: Unreleased are chock full with hits, a lot of the early middle albums between the end of Motown and beginning of Epic are virtually unknown outside the fanbase and even then most fans don't really listen to those albums. Just trying to think from a business sense.
 
Yeah, I see what you mean. I was looking at it from a collectors point of view. I wouldn't buy it then :D

It would be roughly 27 or 28 issues -that's not including posthumous albums- I mean it is only around 5 or 6 more than what The Beatles are doing. I suppose it dosent have to be any specific number but I wonder if it's too many issues with albums that weren't popular would they sell, would enough fans commit to buying them? It would be cool.

How well do you think the Beatles one will sell?
 
The idea is good, but these "Partworks" are very expensive and take a long time to collect. They are fish hooks as well. The first part or two are sold at a very cheap price, but later parts cost much more (As much as $20 in some cases). They have been around for years and DeAgostini despite the Italian name, is very British, along with another group Fabbri. Hachette, Eaglemoss and Orbis media are others.

Being in New Zealand, we are commonwealth and thus perfect for the UK's literary castoffs. A local monopoly called Gordon and Gotch bring over Britsh magazines some 3 months after they were on sale in the UK (Example - December issues on sale now). Partworks are at least 18 months old and are dumped on the "colonies" after they are unsold in the UK, even with currency exchanges and mark ups, the secondary sale of these items is much higher than in the UK. This beatles thing will reach New Zealand at the end of Next year or early 2019 if at all.

Partworks cover everything, knowledge encyclopaedias, music, building models (A part a week), lists of kings and countries and even collecting coins. They usually end up costing $100s. An example was a 116 part work building a warship, a piece a week. At the cost of £3.95 a part, that is nearly £500 to build a ship model that is worth may one tenth of that.

Even worse is they are imported around the commonwealth and we get them here in NZ, but usually 18 months or 2 years later and are often marked up above the exchange rate. I collected a set of famous murder magazines between 2004 and 2007, the 157 parts cost nearly $900 in our money and looking at the trashy 16 page tabloid magazines, are virtually worthless. Even worse is when they miss parts and your model is incomplete. It was like in the old days with encyclopaedias sold door to door, you paid thousands for a set of books that would be obselete in a few years. Fortunately wikipedia killed that off.

Stay away from it, unless you have deep pockets, this is obvioulsy the first one, designed to lure you in and then offer lesser albums afterwards. It was like a coin magazine I started collecting in 1999 by Fabbri. The first issue cost $5 and had a 40% silver halfdollar of the USA then (Worth $5), and every issue afterwards cost $10 and usually the coin or note contained was the lowest possible denomination of each country (Try 1 Canadian cent, 1 British p, 1 Pfennig (Pre Euro) etc) and it was just a rip off and you were buying the most rubbishy coins.

This Beatles series is in Stereo. It sounds good to me but then I'm no expert. Think I should leave these albums and go for the Mono's? Man I really love Abbey Road.

What do you reckon would be the ideal way for an MJ series like this? Include Motown or keep it to Epic/Sony with the Jackson's albums?

Theres research to be done when it comes to the Beatles and mono vs stereo. Its all down to preference. Its nit just different mixes, but sometimes different takes altogether. For example, Ob La Di on the mono version only has one track of Pauls vocals, where the stereo (widely known version) has Paul double tracking himself. I think Michael went digital from 87 onwards so no issue for us!

This would need to be an exhaustive/extensive set, which would need to include EVERYTHING from Diana Presents.... Off the top of my head, this would be aimed at collector's and vinyl lovers, two groups that tend to spend.

Jackson 5 - All studio albums, including Goin' Back to Indiana, Joyful Jukebox etc.
All Jacksons studio albums and The Jacksons Live
All solo studio albums from Got To Be There
Both pressings of Off The Wall, original and later (different versions of Get On The Floor etc)
Both pressings of Bad
Both pressings of Thriller
Thriller 25 & Bad 25
HIStory and Blood on the Dance Floor (original pressings and new)
Number Ones, Ultimate Collection Rarities also. Maybe a King of Pop

Throw in Wembley 88 and Yokohama 87. They would also need to throw in a disc of rarities, all the bonus tracks from the special editions. But what they would really need is some new material, which to me would mean official releases of each of the tours going way back.

Busy at work so couldn&#8217;t get into this properly, but I would suggest everyone to look up David Bowies Five Years Bos Set and the Who Can I Be Now boxsets. These are beautifully done and fans are paying for them because of the effort and detail that&#8217;s gone into them

By the way Let it Be and Abbey Road are only in stereo, as is Yellow Submarine

I would not collect the Michael Jackson collection by Fabbri anyway for the following reasons.
.
1. Most of us have all the albums anyway
2. You are just buying the album and a few pages of notes and opinions - how do you know the writers are true fans, or at least people who understand their music or what is going on in the grooves. Is it about that or just idle gossip and worthless opinions.
3. Most Michael and Jackson albums, already come with good notes and informative slicks, especially Special editions and re releases.
4. There are many books about Michael and his family already ranging from rubbish to pretty darn good. Plus it helps Michael, Jermaine, Latoya and a few others have written tell all autobiographies anyway.
5. Resale and lasting value, will they be worth keeping.

Still I could imagine a series would go like this (Mostly Chronological)
THE LEGENDARY JACKSONS COLLECTION - COLLECT THE OUTPUT OF THE GREATEST MUSCIAL FAMILY IN ONLY 40 PARTS

1. Thriller 1982 (Michael Jackson), as it is his biggest and best known album, it would be a good part one to lure in fans for the series.
2. Bad 1987, might need to keep the interest up, so make Part 2 epic as well.
3. Diana Ross presents the Jackson 5 (1969) now we go chronological, this part could also detail their early days)
4. ABC (1970)
5. Third Album (1970)
6. The Jackson 5 Christmas Album (1970) could be part 6 or even released near a real christmas for holiday sales.
7. Maybe Tomorrow (1971)
8. Goin back to Indiana (1971)
9. Michael - Got to be There (1971)
10. Looking throught the windows (1972)
11. Ben (MJ) (1972)
12. Skywriter (1973)
13. Music and Me (1973)
14. Get it together (1973)
15. Dancing Machine (1974)
16. Moving Violation (1975)
17. Forever Michael (1975)
18. The Jacksons (1976)
19. Goin Places (1977)
20. Destiny (1978)
21. Off the wall (1979)
22. Triumph (1980)
23. Jacksons Live (1981)
24. Victory (1984) - Thriller has been done)
25. 2300 Jackson Street (1989)
26. Dangerous (1991)
27. History Book 1 (1995)
28. Blood on the Dancefloor (1997)
29. Invincible (2001)
30. Thriller 25 and his death (2008/9)
31. Michael (2010)
32. Xscape (2014)
...........
Others
33. Early Daze (1965 - 1968) featuring Big Boy and Jam Session

37. Dangerous and History outakes
38. Off the wall documentary
39. Solo smashes by Jacksons (A selection of songs by Janet, Jermaine and Rebbies Centipede)
40. The Jackson legacy.
 
I'd be very interested in doing this for other artists. I've seen the adverts and thought it's a cool idea.

I'm not all that interested in the Beatles collection however. And I've already got a lot of Michael Jackson vinyl so again I wouldn't be bothered about one for him.

I would like it for other artists I'm interested in but have very little of. I'm not sure I'd be interested again though if the albums weren't released chronologically.
 
How well do you think the Beatles one will sell?
I think it will do relatively well as a lot of Beatles fans collect different pressings and they are considered essential for anyone who collects vinyl.


MJPrince and Innuendo, great posts guys. Thanks for the insightful response. Will reply properly later when Ive got the time. The more I think of it and after reading your posts I tend to agree that an entire set from Motown to present would be ideal. Highly ambitious but the first collection to include pretty much everything.
 
For example, Ob La Di on the mono version only has one track of Pauls vocals, where the stereo (widely known version) has Paul double tracking himself.
The mono version of Helter Skelter is about a minute shorter than the stereo, and it doesn't have Ringo screaming "I've got blisters on my fingers!".

When I was mulling this idea around in my head last night I was thinking if everything was included it could become very complicated, but the more I've thought about it the more I agree that everything should be included except for the endless Motown collections, anthologies, hits etc which would just be downright impossible, although there is a Motown collection Michael Jackson/J5 18 Greatest Hits which hit number 1 in the UK for 3 weeks and has a beautiful sleeve -a candid close up picture of MJ- IMO. The prospect of Going Back To Indiana and The Jackson's Live is exciting. The Jackson's Live would just look amazing on the shelf.

Wembley would be great if it was mixed properly as a double album. King of Pop is a personal favourite of mine so that idea excites me. Double pressings of the iconic Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad could possibly help sustain sales over a longer period of time; I'm thinking this magazine would have to run indefinitely somewhere between 2 to 3 years, possibly ending in the beginning of a 4th year because it's such an extensive collection and anyone collecting would need a long period of time to finically be able to keep up with it, perhaps something like a Yokohama would be an exclusive through a subscription; something rare as a way to entice people.

The Bowie Box sets are astounding! Beautifully crafted and presented. I've seen them in my friend&#8217;s record shop and they are amazing. The Beatles must have made more money in the past decade than the previous 30 years! I bought around half of the stereo albums separately as I couldn't afford the Mono or Stereo box when they were released a few years back. Then the American versions were released and I stopped buying for some reason. I heard the Mono Vinyl box set is remarkable and some day in the future I'll spring for it I'd say.

So this is in large part what I'd like; Michael Jackson to get the same uber-treatment as The Beatles and Bowie. Bowie is only gone a little more than a year and his estate seem to have immediately decided that -while they&#8217;re going to make an absolute mint with his legacy- that the material will be presented with the love and care it deserves. It's all being done very tastefully! You can see that the Prince situation is possibly going to be a bit of a hit and miss mess like the MJ situation.

I understand your concerns; especially the Coin Collection Magazines and the Murder Mystery Series but isn&#8217;t this a slightly better prospect? For the first time a fully comprehensive collection of everything across the board. I don't think any of us have all the aforementioned on vinyl, on brand spanking new pristine shiny 180 gram plastic with extensive liner notes written buy a proper historian/fan, perhaps someone like a Michael Smallcomb? I don't know but someone of high standing with a past reputable work.

If the material pre-Motown, Steeltown and the indie label before that where a handful of tracks were recorded by a pre-fame J5, this would be the first and only time that such a collection would be so freely available and accessible to such a wide audience. I know everything is available online these days but there's a lot to be said for walking into a shop and SEEING the albums In front of you on a shelf. A lot of these would be bought on impulse by many, especially Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad, even Dangerous and HIStory would possibley see spikes in sales.

Making the J5 and Motown albums available all as part of one collection would help re-establish MJ's legacy as an artist as prolific as anyone. Including the Motown material would help.

[Sidenote] The Beatles have always been presented as artistically superior to just about anyone yet they've become one of the most commercialized commodities -almost as prevalent as tea or coffee in this part of the world- of the past decade. MJ has always been considered over-commercialized but doing ~A Beatles~ would help reform him artistically?!!

Motown

^^Several of the J5 Motown albums were released on 180 gram a few years ago. It wasn't just J5, but Motown did the same with other acts from that era, including The Temptations, Supremes, & Marvin Gaye.

I didn't see any of those in local shops or supermarkets, which is part of the benefit of making this a monthly magazine. I realize you're only stating a point though, but last year vinyl sold more of any other physical format and The Beatles have a lot to do with that as this series of their albums was first available a year or two ago in other parts on Europe. This is about creating a collection in a series that would come with an advertising campaign and made available widely. I really can't see how it would be a bad thing.

I got Reach Out by the Four Tops actually and it sounds great, but early Motown needs to be heard in mono and these are stereo. Like Double A said, the set needs to be complete and proper.

For example, some MJ albums were re-released on Vinyl the last few years, but I believe aside from Dangerous and Invincible, all others use the 2001 special edition masters or iTunes, which isnt exactly what you want. You need it to be worthwhile, brand new masters properly done.

BTW Double A, I got the MOV Bad, Dangerous and OTW today. My "new" Bad clearly was second hand, but I'll let you know how they sound.

Cannot wait for your feedback on those MOV's!! You are now my go-to-guy for any advice about vinyls! You gonna return Bad?

Agree that all the albums need the correct masters and sound ie; Mono vs Stereo for whatever each album requires. Early Motown needs to be in Mono.

Ha. Ah the box is OK, little bent at the back. Just ripping the discs now. In fairness its a decent comprehensive set.

That's what I like a out it! Things thrown into the mix like Say Say Say, Speechless, Butterflies, Ghost, Give In To Me in amongst the staple classics! Disc 3 is a bit of treat IMO.

I've never heard of any J5 albums being released as mono. Maybe they were, but I don't think that many people were still buying mono records in the 1970s. A few of their early 45s had a mono mix though. I think these versions can be found on one of those Complete Motown Singles box sets. These sets are by year and has all acts, not just Jackson 5. I think the sets go all the way up to the early 1970s.
