Today's ON THE AIR : JACKSON 5 - I WANT YOU BACK
DIANA ROSS PRESENTS THE JACKSON 5
INDIA TAMLA MOTOWN STML.10

 
"When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you
Stand out in a crowd
Then someone picked you from the bunch
One glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me
To take a second look
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
To show you that I love you
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart
Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
Let you go baby
Cause now since I see you it is all
I want you back
Yes, I do now
I want you back
Oo oo baby
I want you back
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I want you back
Now now now now...."


I WANT YOU BACK

THE RECORD OF THE WEEK : CAN'T LET HER GET AWAY
COSTARICA PROMO MAXI 12''
SONY MUSIC 81014193


JUST THINK ABOUT IT:how many albums in the music history got the power to extract 10 singles in a 2 years row?
ONLY 1:it's "Dangerous". The 10th single should have been the title track (with a massive 10th videoclip shooting to promote it) and it was never released; BUT... there's an obscure 10th release taken from the album:it's this "Can't let her get away" Costarica exclusive release, distributed to radio stations for promotional use only.
The record comes with a palin white sleeve, "Can't let" on side A and blank B side. White labels with typical design used for all the other Costarica promo press released at the time.
No doubt:this is one of the rarest 12'' of the entire MJ discography, a must-have for all the King of Pop collectors!
