Come And Get It: The Rare Pearls is a compilation album of previously unreleased tracks by American family group The Jackson 5, which was released digitally on August 28, 2012 [1] and physically on September 18, 2012. [2]
Background
This compilation contains unreleased songs, recorded by the group during their tenure on the Motown Records label. Some of them are cover versions ( Randy Newman's " Mama Told Me Not to Come", Traffic's " Feelin' Alright" and labelmates The Supremes' " You Can't Hurry Love"), and some of the tracks are alternate versions of already released songs (a longer version of "That's How Love Is" and the demo version of " Mama's Pearl" which was known as "Guess Who's Making Whoopie With Your Girlfriend").
Marketing
In November 2009, Motown Records released I Want You Back! Unreleased Masters, a selection of unreleased tracks by the Jackson 5. [3] It coincided with the 40th anniversary of their debut single on the label (" I Want You Back" b/w " Who's Lovin' You"), [4] and closely followed the release of the documentary– concert film Michael Jackson's This Is It. [5] The physical version of this compilation was released on September 18, 2012, [2] the same day as Michael Jackson's Bad 25. [6]
