TODAY'S WELCOME TO THE SHOWROOM:
JACKSON 5 - DANCING MACHINE
DANCING MACHINE
EU/FRANCE "VINYL IS BEAUTIFUL" SERIES
LIMITED OPAQUE BROWN VINYL
MOTOWN/UNIVERSAL/LMLM M678051



AUTOMATIC SYSTEMATIC!!! Last week we've seen the third (and actually, the last) reissue of the Jackson 5 albums, part of the series "Vinyl is beautiful", the campaign of coloured vinyl represses launched by Motown/Universal. Here it is the second title in the Jackson 5 list, something we, the collectors, cannot miss:it's an "opaque brown" vinyl of Dancing Machine!!!
Watch out the forthcoming reissues coming in the next months:they're listed on the back of the special "obi" created for this series; we'll have soon a "Live in Japan" and a "Christmas album"...and I guess the planned releases list will continue...

TODAY'S WELCOME TO THE SHOWROOM:
JACKSON 5 - SKYWRITER
SKYWRITER
EU/FRANCE "VINYL IS BEAUTIFUL" SERIES
LIMITED OPAQUE BRONZE VINYL
MOTOWN/UNIVERSAL/LMLR M761L



This is the third in a series of reissues produced by Motown/Universal, and released in EU with a particular distribution in France, soooo....DING-DONG!!! it's time for a newcomer in the Showroom!!! Among all the reissues of the last years that makes sense:it's a wonderful coloured vinyl (in this case, "opaque bronze") inspired by the colours of the original sleeve. The fiorst reissue was released in the autumn, and it was "Moving violation" (opaque yellow vinyl). The second one was "Dancing machine" and...be patiet, it will have a similar post in the next few days :-)
This is the kind of reissue I can love:nothing unreleased but something never-seen-before instead of the useless "copycats" of the old records...it's time to think about Michael's solo albums, once this Jackson 5 series will get to an end! And I really hope we'll soon have a "Ben" or a "Got to be there" reissued in coloured vinyls too....

"Hold my hand, feel the touch of your body cling to mine
You and me, makin' love all the way through another night
I remember you and I walking though the park at night
Kiss and touch, nothing much, let it blow just touch and go
Love me more, never leave me alone by house of love
People talk, people say what we have is just a game
Oh, I'll never let you go, come here girl
Just got to make sweet love 'til the break of dawn

I don't want the sun to shine I want to make love
Just this magic in your eyes and in my heart
I don't know what I'm gonna do I can't stop lovin' you
I won't stop 'til break of dawn makin' love

Hold my hand, feel the sweat,
yes you've got me nervous yet
Let me groove, let me soothe, let me take you on a cruise
There's imagination workin', never been there before
Have you ever wanted to dream about those places you've never know..."

"...One thing in life you must understand
The truth of lust woman to man
So open the door, and you will see
There are no secrets
Make your move, set me free
Because there's something about you baby
That makes me want to give it to you
I swear there's something about you baby
Just promise me, whatever we say
Whatever we do to each other
For now we take a vow to just
Keep it in the closet
If you can get it, it's worth a try
I really want it, I can't deny
It's just desire, I really love it
'Cause if it's aching, you have to rub it
She wants to give it..."
