Jackson 5 mono Singles Compilation

There is a new Jackson 5 compilation entitled Number 1's released by Hip-O later this month. Could this finally! be the Mono singles compilation as "promised" years ago by Harry Weinger and team ?

fingers crossed!

But I just looked it up on Amazon, and, while there's no tracklisting yet, the actual title of the disc is "The Jacksons Story: #1's," so I'll bet you money it's just a reissue of the old "The Jackson's Story" CD with a new cover.

if my memory serves me correctly he posted on some forum - the defunct Hip-O Select forum perhaps? - that it was in the pipeline!

i seem to remember him asking at one point after the release of the J5 In Japan! what we would most wish for next.. the choices were Jermaine Jackson "2-fers", Boogie, Joyful Jukebox Music or Mono Singles.

we got the "2-fer" of Boogie and Joyful Jukebox Music.

Tracklisting is finally up on Amazon for "Jackson 5: #1s," and it is indeed simply a reissue of "The Jacksons Story" with a different cover.

   Yes, they will.
