Looking at the cover, which shows Michael and none of his four brothers, one wouldn’t get the idea that this three-disc set is two-thirds Jackson 5 material.

Altogether, this box collects all the essential J5 and Michael singles and more, including 'ABC', 'Never Can Say Goodbye', 'I Found That Girl', 'I Am Love', 'The Love You Save', 'Ben', 'Rockin’ Robin', and 'I Wanna Be Where You Are'. Released in the U.K., it retails for the price of a single disc and is a convenient way to scoop up a large quantity of high-quality ‘70s pop-soul.

Boogie Times Presents The Great Collectors Vol. 2 is an extraordinary, highly coveted compilation released in 2006 by French archival imprint Boogie Times Records. Dedicated to rescuing ultra-rare, obscure 80s boogie, modern soul, and synth-funk holy grails from vinyl obscurity, this second installment gathers twelve sought-after 12-inch extended cuts and private press gems. Featuring legendary, high-demand floor-fillers like Lisa Hill's synth-heavy "I Am On The Real Side", Jay Player's infectious "Love Is The Answer", and Dolette McDonald's boogie anthem "(Xtra) Special", this compilation is an indispensable treasure trove for deep-crate diggers, DJs, and classic 80s funk aficionados.

The follow-up to Donna Summer's first big Geffen album did reasonably well and proved to be the lull before the storm. "State of Independence" just missed being a hit, and "Woman In Me" cracked the pop and R&B Top 40, although it wasn't a smash. But the album mostly reaffirmed that Summer was back in stride and hadn't merely scored a fluke with her previous release.
