Russ Terrana, the legendary engineer of original Jackson hits, is mixing new tracks just discovered in Motown vaults...
No less than 11 newly discovered songs, never put out as singles or included on any Jackson 5 or Michael Jackson albums, are now in the process of being mixed for the first NEW Jackson 5 album in decades. The precious gems sat unnoticed, buried deep in the vaults of Motown Records for decades.
Russ Terrana, the very same gifted recording engineer who mixed all of the original Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson records 40 years ago, has confirmed that he is mixing down new Motown tracks never before released nor heard by the public.
The songs on the newly recovered masters were never mixed down or otherwise prepared for public release until now, and it's most likely these tracks have only been heard by the group, the producer at the session, the people in the studio and Berry Gordy himself back when they were being recorded in 1969 or 1970.
Late last month, Terrana was recruited by Harry Weinger, a senior executive at Universal Music Group and Universal Music Enterprises to perform new digital audio mixes of the newly found songs. All of the tracks are early Jackson 5 recordings, made at the same time as the group was recording its original legendary smash hits.
The release of "new" Jackson 5 gems due November 10.
