- Description: Donny Osmond went solo while staying in the Osmonds family group, Michael went solo as well, and was given material that made him sound more mature. "Got to Be There," his first solo hit, featured a stunning, declamatory phrase that provided the name of this collection. The LP GOT TO BE THERE, released in January 1972, was followed by BEN, after the No. 1 hit title song from a film about a pet rat. BEN was first issued with a cover featuring lurid artwork from the film, which was quickly replaced by a simpler image of MJ; our package reproduces both covers in the 48-page booklet. MUSIC AND ME was next, featuring a few Adult Contemporary covers, followed by FOREVER, MICHAEL, which had a harder dance age; it included the now-classic hits "Were Almost There" and "Just a Little Bit of You." Although MJ and the J5 left Motown in 1975 to go to Epic Records, that wasn't the end of the story."One Day in Your Life," released in the aftermath of MJs solo OFF THE WALL, turned into a No. 1 hit in the U.K. and top 40 AC in the U.S. Following the crazy ride of THRILLER, Motown released FAREWELL MY SUMMER LOVE, a batch of songs from the vault with contemporary overdubs; the title song went top 10 R&B.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX
