About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Michael Jackson was hailed as the King of Pop long before he became infamous for his peculiar, headline-grabbing antics. Fortunately, this five-disc retrospective box set -- spanning 1969 to 2004 -- returns the spotlight to Jackson's triumphs as an artist. Disc 1 chronicles the Gloved One's not-so-humble beginnings as the young-yet-dynamic lead singer for the Jackson 5 with a string of four No. 1 pop and R&B singles ("I Want You Back," "ABC," "I'll Be There," and "Got to Be There"), which appear alongside disco-era Jackson 5 hits ("Dancing Machine," "Enjoy Yourself"). Disc 1 also includes MJ songs from the films The Wiz and Ben, as well as career-defining solo numbers from Off the Wall ("Rock with You," "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough"). With the inclusion of six hit singles from Thriller -- still the bestselling record of all time -- Disc 2 captures the pop icon at the height of his career. Disc 3 features seminal tracks from Bad ("Smooth Criminal") and Dangerous ("Remember the Time"), while Disc 4 features selections from 1995's HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book 1 and 2001's modest comeback, Invincible. Besides more hits, what further distinguishes The Ultimate Collection from the aforementioned two-disc HIStory is the addition of 13 rare and previously unissued recordings, including demo versions of "PYT" and "We Are the World," and a DVD containing a full-length concert shot in Bucharest during 1992's Dangerous tour. The deluxe box set also contains a 64-page booklet with never-before-seen photos, personal memorabilia, a chronological timeline, complete discography, and an essay by acclaimed music journalist Nelson George -- making this truly an Ultimate Collection.

B & N, wake up!by GSL

November 23, 2009: It's great to have the first four discs but the DVD is of the Bucharest Concert which I already bought separately. B & N, you need to say that in your notes, especially since my reason for buying this particular item was for the live concert DVD. You neglected to say WHICH live concert it was. So, if anyone else wants to buy this for the concert, don't. Look up the Bucharest Concert and you can buy that DVD alone.

MUST HAVE FOR ANY/ALL MJ FANS! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED - I PROMISE!by 412colleen4MJ

November 13, 2009: I am a 46 year old female who has loved Michael Jackson all of my life!

The word "ICON" does not do Michael Jackson justice! MJ is and will always be remembered and loved for his compassion, love of life, love of the earth and nature, and his INNOCENT love of children and human kind!!!

The UNIVERSE has lost a GREAT soul and TRUE ONE OF A KIND HUMAN BEING!!!

When I first saw this ULTIMATE COLLECTION (and believe me it is!) I just had to have it! If you buy no other boxed collection - THIS IS THE ONE TO HAVE! There are 4 cd's, & 1 DVD of Michael's DANGEROUS TOUR! - that alone is worth it to have a keepsake and to see Michael in concert is unbelieveable!!!! First of all, when you get this - once you open it (it's a tri-fold heavy duty binding (like a photo album), you see 2 cd's - then you open up the other section & you see the booklet in the center with MJ's Moonwalk pose - with his glove, black sequin jacket & fedora - behind the booklet is cd 3 - to the right is the cd4 & 1 DVD)! I am pleasantly pleased! I tell you, I would've EXPECTED to pay MORE money for such an awesome collection!

The cd's have most of MJ's greatest hits, plus some Jackson 5 hits, never before heard demos of songs....I got chills just hearing Michael sing all of the fans favorites! This would be a wonderful Christmas present for anyone! That's why I bought this, as a present to myself! I bought this about mid-September after Michael's untimely passing....this even has a 50 page booklet with a timeline of Michael's life, music accomplishments with dates and pictures! I smiled, cried, and was in awe as I watched him onstage (in the DVD)!

I hope that my review has helped you to decide TO BUY THIS NOW!!!

I Also Recommend: Moonwalk, Michael Jackson: Before He Was King, Michael Jackson: The One and Only: A Commemorative Tribute to an American Icon, People Tribute: Remembering Michael 1958-2009, Michael Jackson: Rolling Stone Commemorative.
