I Want You Back! Unreleased Masters is a Jackson 5 compilation released on November 10, 2009 (roughly five months after lead singer Michael Jackson's death) to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the band's debut on Motown Records; their debut single "I Want You Back" was issued October 7, 1969. The compilation, specifically designed to fit like a regular 1970s-era album, contains previously unreleased songs and alternate versions of some of the group's hits.[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/hidden-in-the-vault-jackson-5-recordings-debut-on-i-want-you-back-unreleased-masters-63592167.html Hidden-in-the-Vault Jackson 5 Recordings Debut on I Want You Back!
