Re-release
In 2001, Motown Records remastered all Jackson 5 albums in a “Two Classic Albums/One CD” series (much like they did in the late 1980s). This album was paired up with Moving Violation. The bonus tracks were the outtakes “Through Thick and Thin” and the Disc-o-Tech #3 Remix of “Forever Came Today”.
