1969-2004: Ultimate Collection [Box set, Best of]

The packaging of this collection is outstanding and truly honours the musical legacy that Mr. Jackson left behind.

Five CDs chronologically reunite numerous musical landmarks within his illustrious musical career.
As one of his die-hard fans, I own all other greatest hits compilations released by either Motown and or Sony and can safely assure you this is without a doubt the best Michael Jackson package on the market.

I personally love Disc three and find it to be exceptional. You hear the early unreleased version of Dangerous that suddenly provides you with a new take and new life on this song.
Disc three also offers such great rarities as the songs "Cheater", the ballad "Someone Put Your Hand Out" and the new-jack vibe of "Monkey Business" as well as a refreshed IHS remix of "Who Is It".

Providing the listeners with the luxury of auditioning five CDs allows this collection to chronologically track and respect the route of Jackson's musical career better than the other greatest hits compilations currently on the market.

The book is carefully crafted to visually transport listeners back in time when as a child star and then as an adult superstar, Mr. Jackson sat on top of the world of entertainment.

The beneficial aspect of this compilation is you will acquire an in-depth musical class on Michael Jackson and come to the realisation, that for various reasons, he shall remain crowned the undisputed King of Pop.

This collection is the ideal inexpensive gift to offer anyone wanting to acquire a musical taste and in-depth knowledge on the world's most gifted entertainer. The best musical gift to offer any person enamoured with perfectly crafted pop music!

This collection just about captures Michael Jackson's genius in its entirety. There's the favorites that everyone knows, with a handful of unreleased and/or demo songs that highlight his talent further. I've enjoyed the CDs from 1 to 4, have yet to view the DVD but am guaranteed it will bring back fond memories of the amazement Michael brought the world. It's bittersweet - love that this history of his music is caught up in one collection, so very sad that it will never be repeated. RIP Michael.

...not to mention a career-spanning one!

The main reason I bought this was the inclusion of those lovely early Motown Jackson 5 - recordings as well as the concert-DVD; let's face it, mr Jackson can, in fact pull off a great show. The concert is from Bucharest/Dangerous Tour.

I also think that the presentation of the box is wonderful, it's coolish-black, CD's are neat-looking and there's a nice, thick booklet, too. A fine read.

There are also lot's of sort of bonusmaterial in the discs, B-sides, alternative takes, demos. Marvellous.

Recommended for the die-hards as well as more casual fans, you will not be disappointed.
