Awhile back I’d posted on the existence of a “new” Jackson 5 title, J is for Jackson 5. My guess was that, like the similarly titled B is for Bob set done for Bob Marley, the CD would be a kid-friendly compilation of J5 tunes (not that they really recorded that many kid-unfriendly tunes). Thanks to an Amazon listing, my beliefs have been proven correct.

The tracklist offers nothing new for J5 acolytes, unless you don’t have any of the officially-released, now out-of-print Motown karaoke CDs. Some of the instrumental backing tracks that appeared on those sets are present here, so if you’re craving instrumental Jackson 5 and can find this disc for cheap, you might as well go for it when it streets on March 30.

Full track list after the jump.
