UNRELEASED JACKSON 5 SONGS FOUND: Owner says he’s in talks with Michael, Janet and labels to get material released.
*A whole bunch of unreleased material from The Jackson 5 is about to hit the streets after collecting cobwebs in a New Jersey warehouse for years, reports WENN.
The collection was found after Richard Altomare, the head of luggage movement company Universal Express, bought unclaimed Jackson family memorabilia from the warehouse. Many of the items were auctioned off during a big two-day sale in Las Vegas. The Jackson 5 tapes from the 1970s contain roughly 60 unreleased songs.
Altomare says he is currently in talks with Michael Jackson and his sister Janet, who wasn’t in the band, as well as recording labels – including Sony – to get the unreleased material in stores.
"I've personally talked to Michael and Janet on the phone about the tapes, and even played on a couple of songs for them,” says Altomare. "At first there was silence on the other end of the line, but that was quickly followed by giggles as if it brought them back to the day those songs were recorded."
