Here you can listen to the album again:

Moving Violation 50th Anniversary

In May 1975, The Jackson 5 released Moving Violation. I have the 2001 edition. Forever Came Today was a club hit, while the single's B-side, the R&B ballad All I Do Is Think of You, became a popular and frequently covered song in its own right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Violation...

The title track is my favorite. One of the few Motown era J5/MJ songs that I legitimately like.

"Through Thick and Thin" was originally released on the compilation album "Joyful Jukebox Music" (1976).

"Through Thick and Thin" was originally released on the compilation album "Joyful Jukebox Music" (1976).

In 2001, Motown Records remastered all Jackson 5 albums in a "Two Classic Albums/One CD" series (much like they did in the late 1980s). This album was paired with Dancing Machine. The bonus tracks were the outtakes "Through Thick and Thin" from the Moving Violation & Forever Michael Recording Sessions and the Disc-o-Tech #3 Remix of "Forever Came Today".

I know, JJM is full of MV outtakes. Imho, it's much better than MV.

JJM has some great songs. My absolute favourites are Window Shopping, The Eternal Light and Love is The Thing You Need.

I still haven't listened to Joyful Jukebox Music, or any of the other cash-in albums Motown released after the Jackson 5 left them.

Forever Came Today, (You Were Made) Especially for Me, Body Language

Love is The Thing You Need is pure energy, give it a try

You should give all of them a try. All post 1975 releases have some hidden gems, that'll make you wonder why songs X or Y haven't made it on to album Z instead of filler songs U or V.
