The Jackson 5 vaults have been opened to bless the world with an abundance of previously unheard sound of joyous Soul music on "Come and Get It: The Rare Pearls" limited edition set, released September 2012 on Motown.
"So many times when compilations are released of a band’s vault material, the listener is left unfulfilled. The Jackson 5 dispelled that theory with a batch of twelve songs in 2009 on I Want You Back: The Unreleased Masters with a set of songs that any artist on Motown would have been proud to be a part of. Surely, though, a follow-up compilation with thirty-two more tracks that have never seen release couldn’t be equally as strong. Actually, Hip-O Select’s Come and Get It: The Rare Pearls may even surpass it.
The tracks range from 1969–1974, most of the J5’s tenure at Motown. Deke Richards, who shares production or writing credits on nearly half the tracks, provides a backdrop for the set in his essay. He recalls the first time he set eyes on the group in an experience he calls “Gospel Truth.” Shortly following that encounter, he would be assigned as a producer when the group and label moved westward to Los Angeles. Richards, aside from being credited as a writer and producer, also is responsible for the spelling of the group’s name—instead of Five as he indicates at the end of his piece, just another lasting memory of his legacy not only with the Jackson 5 but with Motown on the whole."
