Joyful Jukebox Music

In 1975, the Jackson 5 announced that they were leaving Motown and signed to Epic Records.{{Cite magazine|last=Trow|first=George W. S.|date=July 14, 1975|title=Leaving Motown|url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1975/07/14/leaving-motown|access-date=2020-12-06|magazine=The New Yorker|language=en-us}} Before their departure from Motown, they were recording dozens of songs per album. Motown gathered some that had been recorded around the years 1972–1975, for recording sessions and albums: Skywriter, G.I.T.: Get It Together, Dancing Machine and Moving Violation.{{cite web|title =Joyful Jukebox Music: Review |first=Lindsay |last=Planer |publisher=Allmusic| url ={{AllMusic|class=album|id=joyful-jukebox-music-mw0000453622|pure_url=yes}} |access-date =7 June 2014}} Those years were very prolific for the Jackson brothers, since in addition to the aforementioned two albums and tracks, Jermaine Jackson, Michael Jackson, and Jackie Jackson each had a solo album at that time (respectively Come into My Life, Music & Me, Jackie Jackson and Forever, Michael).

The albums Joyful Jukebox Music and Boogie were distributed for a very short period, and the album is one of the rarest albums of the Jackson 5, though not as scarce as Boogie. In 2004, it was available for a limited time from Hip-O Select, to complement Motown's 2001 "2 Albums on 1 CD" re-issue set of the Jackson 5's albums, on which some of these songs were issued as bonus tracks. Although only 5,000 copies were pressed, the album contains the previously unreleased full 15+ minute take of the song "Hum Along and Dance."[http://www.hip-oselect.com/scr.public.product.asp?product_id=09770ffb-abbf-96c7-6d79-d89eb8f082f7&cat_id=9BE6C651-2C04-4F9B-A867-99626310086F HIPO]
