iTunes Review

This Ultimate Collection includes almost 60 tracks, spans several decades, and does a remarkable job of documenting MJ’s unparalleled contributions to modern music. Of course, you get the hits — including some of the precocious child star’s Motown classics, the solo artist’s disco-funk jams, and the gloved-wonder’s monster smashes. But what make this collection especially intriguing are all of the demos, rarities, previously unreleased tracks, and alternate versions. The stripped-down, in-the-pocket demo of the Jacksons’ late-‘70s “Shake a Body” is astounding; the “We Are the World (Demo)” finds MJ singing all of the parts; and this take on “P.Y.T.” has completely different lyrics and instrumentation than the version that appears on Thriller. In addition to a previously unreleased, anti-Iraq war song (“We’ve Had Enough”) and hard-to-find versions of boogie-woogie (“You Can’t Win”) and reflective (“On the Line”), Ultimate Collection also boasts the single versions of dance-floor heaters: “Rock With You,” “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough,” “Dancing Machine,” “Off the Wall,” and “Beat It.”

OUT OF ALL THE MJ "GREATEST HITS" ALBUMS ON THE MARKET...

This is the absolute best one! I am a massive MJ fan, but I refused for years to buy any of those numerous greatest hits because I didn't see the sense in buying a Greatest hits album when I already had all the songs. I mean there's only so many times you can own "Billie Jean" or "Thriller". This album is an EXCEPTION however. "The Ultimate Collection" does a great job covering his entire career from his motown days when he was a kid to the time he became a superstar and all the way up until "Invincible". This album also contains demo's and previously unreleased tracks, the best of the bunch easily being "Someone Put Your Hand Out". This is the most comprehensive Michael Jackson boxset on the market. If you're just a casual fan, it might seem pricey but I have to say that I am so happy I bought this. It really is worth it. Highly reccomended to anyone who is a Jackson fan or just to anyone who enjoys good music.

Bring Captain EO back for .99 cents please

I can not believe I can purchase "We are here to change the world". I am so glad itunes got this one right. However, the price is wrong. You bring me up then take me down by charging "Album Only" price. Now I have to choose between buying Captain EO for $34.99 or purchasing gas for my car. It's too bad when all I really should be paying is .99 cents for one song. I've been waiting since 1996 to purchase Captain EO so I guess I'll have to continue to wait. Sorry itunes, you didn't get this one right after all.

Would be a great buy, but...

I can't believe you have to buy the entire album to get "Ease On Down the Road"! That's ridiculus.

Michael Jackson was unquestionably the biggest pop star of the '80s, and certainly one of the most popular recording artists of all time.

His 1982 blockbuster Thriller became the biggest-selling album of all time (probably his best-known accomplishment), and he...
