A new Jackson 5 album is set for release on November 10th, around 40 years after the legendary band of brothers first appeared on the music scene. The album is called I Want You Back! Unreleased Masters, and includes 12 never before released tracks. Michael Jackson was only six years old when he debuted as the singer in Jackson 5.

The new album will feature tracks recorded between 1969 and 1974. Another Jackson 5 album, Jackson 5 Ultimate Christmas Album, will be released at the same time and can be pre-ordered online.

Motown records dug out the new tracks from their archives after the death of Michael Jackson in June. The tracks include Buttercup with Stevie Wonder and an extended version of Dancing Machine.

Ilovethatsong.com is offering a clip of the new music on their website.

Michael Davis, general manager of Universal Music Enterprises, says the spotlight is on the adolescent Michael Jackson's remarkable voice, which was sometimes overlooked once he became a superstar.
