Michael Jackson's Got to Be There, his 1972 solo debut, arrives here as a Japanese import on SHM-CD, a high-quality disc format favoured by collectors of the Motown years.
Released while Jackson was still fronting the Jackson 5, the album showed Motown testing whether its brightest young star could stand on his own. The answer was a resounding yes. Still only thirteen, Jackson brought a maturity and emotional pull to these songs that belied his age, and the album helped set the stage for the extraordinary solo career that followed.
The title track, Got to Be There, is a tender, lilting ballad that lets his pure, sweet voice take centre stage. Rockin' Robin is a bouncy, irresistible romp that became one of his best-loved early hits, while I Wanna Be Where You Are glides on a smooth, soulful groove. His reading of Ain't No Sunshine brings an unexpected wistfulness to Bill Withers's classic.
The SHM-CD format is designed for improved clarity, and Japanese editions are prized for their care, a fitting upgrade for these warm, carefully crafted arrangements.
For fans tracing the story from child star to King of Pop, this is where the solo chapter begins, full of charm, promise and plenty of youthful sparkle.
