At last a book covering Michael Jackson's early days, both as a solo artist and as the lead singer of The Jackson 5. Not only are Jackson's many recordings with Motown covered, but there is also fascinating account of his humble beginnings from Gary Indiana to Steeltown Records where is first ever recordings were produced. Rounding the main chapters off is a section on The Jacksons, who enjoyed success themselves after leaving Motown in 1975.
Written in an entertaining format, each album is taken individually with an appropriate essay of the period, covering facts, single releases and chart information. All this with additional material on unreleased recordings, a comprehensive discography, chartography, videography and an exclusive Jackson poll.
The last decade or so as seen the media concentrate more on Jackson's eccentricities than his prolific singer/songwriter credits. One glance at Michael Jackson The Early Years reminds everyone that Jackson's career spans a lot further than Off The Wall and Thriller, and if anything puts him up there with all of the universally recognised greats such as Elvis Presley and The Beatles. Any fan of Jackson or of popular music, interested in what makes a legend should look no further than this book, as it covers the backbone of an industrious career.

What can be said about Michael Jackson, that hasn't already been said?
Yet so much of what is written about Michael is either inaccurate or negative.
The aim of this book - the first of two volumes - is to tell Michael's incredible story as accurately, honestly and comprehensively as possible, by focussing on his music. The book includes a complete, chronological listing of every album (including track listings), one-off single and collaboration Michael released in the USA and/or UK:
In the pre-Motown era
For Motown, solo and with the Jackson 5
With the Jacksons
The book also features a complete USA and UK chartography, detailed discographies from both the USA and UK, a videography, and a fascinating listing of Jackson rarities from around the world.
