Last month, Legacy Recordings brought remastered and expanded versions of The Jacksons' first three studio albums to digital platforms.  Next Friday, March 26, sees a physical 2-LP reissue of 1981's The Jacksons Live!, and today, Legacy announced that the group's final three studio albums - Triumph (1980), Victory (1984), and 2300 Jackson Street (1989) - will receive the remastered and expanded treatment on April 30.  A generous 39 bonus tracks are spread across the three digital releases.

1980's Triumph lived up to its title.  Produced and written by the brothers, the album yielded four hit singles - three Dance chart-toppers ("Lovely One," "Can You Feel It," and "Walk Right Now") as well as the irresistible R&B No. 2 smash "Heartbreak Hotel," renamed "This Place Hotel."  All four songs reached the Pop and R&B charts with "Lovely One" notably peaking at No. 12 Pop/No. 2 R&B.  Michael Jackson, hot off the success of Off the Wall, wrote or co-wrote all but three of the album's tracks and took the lion's share of the lead vocals, as well.  The album shot to No. 1 on the R&B survey and No. 10 Pop, earning Platinum status by the end of 1980.  In 2009, Triumph was reissued on CD with three bonus tracks: the single version of "This Place Hotel" and the John Luongo extended disco and instrumental mixes of "Walk Right Now."  Those three bonuses are joined by seven more on the upcoming reissue: three new remixes of "Can You Feel It;" single versions of "Can You Feel It," "Lovely One," and "Walk Right Now;" and Luongo's 7" remix of "Walk Right Now."

November 30, 1982 was a day that changed everything in Jacksons history - the release date of Thriller.  Michael's masterpiece would go on to become the best-selling album of all time and win a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards as well as a host of other accolades.  Michael shattered the glass ceiling with Thriller; where did that leave The Jacksons?

1984's Victory saw big brother Jermaine come back into the fold, having last sung on record with his brothers on The Jackson 5's final Motown album, Moving Violation, in 1975.  (He joined the group live on the famous Motown 25 television special in 1983, setting the stage for this full-fledged return.)  Despite the family reunion, Victory was largely patched together from solo songs worked on by each member.  Michael contributed "Be Not Always," co-written with Marlon; the Mick Jagger duet "State of Shock" co-written with Randy Hansen; and "The Hurt," a Michael/Randy/David Paich/Steve Porcaro co-write.  Randy Jackson sang lead on "The Hurt" while Michael joined Jackie and Jermaine on lead vocals for two of Jackie's songs, "Torture" and "Wait."  Tito and Marlon took the spotlight, respectively, on "We Can Change the World" and "Body."  Unsurprisingly, Victory was just that: a 2x Platinum smash in the U.S., it reached No. 3 R&B/No. 4 Pop.  It charted internationally in nearly 20 countries, reaching the top ten in almost all of them.  "State of Shock" peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100, with "Torture" making the top 20 and "Body" faring somewhat less well at No. 47.  For its first-ever expansion, Victory gains 11 bonus tracks: three additional mixes of "State of Shock;" three of "Torture;" four of "Body;" and one of "Wait."

The Victory Tour from July-December 1984 (the only Jacksons tour to feature all six brothers, despite Jackie being injured and off the road for much of it) became the highest-grossing concert tour of all time, with much of the setlist drawn from Off the Wall and Thriller.  Following the grueling tour, Michael and Marlon both left the group.

Jermaine, Tito, Randy, and Jackie regrouped as a foursome for The Jacksons' final album to date: 1989's 2300 Jackson Street was a multiple-producer affair in the tradition of the era, with productions from The Jacksons as well as Babyface, L.A. Reid, Teddy Riley, Michael Omartian, and Attala Zane Giles of Motown group Switch.  In addition to group compositions (all co-written with outside writers including Giles), hitmaker Diane Warren was tapped for "Private Affair" and Babyface and Reid for "Nothin' (That Compares 2 U)."  The autobiographical title track welcomed back Michael and Marlon for cameos along with sisters Rebbie and Janet.  The music video featured many of the family members, as well.  2300 Jackson Street performed respectably, reaching the top 20 of the R&B Albums chart.  A whopping 18 bonus tracks including remixes and B-sides have been appended to the upcoming reissue: six versions of "Nothin' (That Compares 2 U);" four of "2300 Jackson Street;" five of "Art of Madness;" and three B-sides.  The 7" House Mix and Percapella mixes of "Art of Madness" are previously unreleased in any format.

As with the last round of expanded reissues, no physical versions are currently planned.  Look for the vinyl reissue of The Jacksons Live! next Friday, and these three studio albums on April 30.  You'll find the track listings and pre-order links below.  Three tracks from each expanded edition are streaming today; check your preferred digital service to listen.
