The Jacksons – Destiny

Album Revolution # 1:

Ohhhhh....YES!!!!!! Here, we go!!!!

After all the years of performing and making Records, the Brothers "Jackson" finally got to totally Produce themselves without anyone telling them what to do....(It Was About Time!!!!!!)....That's where "The Jacksons" went into the Studio and PRODUCED their BEST ALBUM EVER in "Destiny"!!!!!! There were no lengths that they were not willing to go on this beautifully crafted album...This album is an Ultimate Ultimate, Ultimate Crown Jewel...From start to finish it was just PURE BUTTER!!!!!

The beginning starts on FIRE with "Blame It On The Boogie"..Yes, you might say that it sounds like they have done something like this before....But if you listen real close, the difference is the Music itself, which carries the groups personality.....

To some people, it might seem like "Push Me Away" was in the wrong spot....But actually it helped the album flow very well, with its sweet smooth Melody, surrounding "Michael's" Vocals perfectly...

"Things I Do For You" just continued to get you on the floor....

Then there's the Super Duper Crown Jewel of Side 1, "Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)".....Now that one right there BUMPS so hard that it seems like 8 minutes wasn't enough!!!! What really made "Shake Your Body" great was the 2 and a half minute finish with the Drums and Keyboards....

The "Title Track" , the start of the second side, was really one of the most creative songs the Brothers ever recorded....My Daughters love this song so much, that my oldest went and got her own copy of the album....

"Bless His Soul" followed the pattern of the "Title Song", also a favorite of my Daughters, which had them singing along, especially the "Ha, Ha, Ha's" at the ending....

"All Night Dancin'", was the last song on the album to make you sweat on the dance floor...

The last song and the Ultimate, Ultimate, Ultimate Crown Jewel of the Side 2 is "That's What You Get (For Being Polite)"....If you dissect the lyrics, you can tell it was the "Michael Jackson Autobiography", with fantastic Music behind it....

They may have had more popular albums (particularly the "Michael Jackson" albums), but NONE of them came close to this one CREATIVLY!!!! In fact, when you look inside the cover, the pictures PROVED that they were in COMMAND of the Studio!!!!! This started the Album Revolution for the group, and it took the group into the STRATOSPHERE!!!!!

There is a Hong Kong Release of this album with the same number as the Japanese Release. No Gatefold.

I've got a copy, Orange label but matrix: T1 PAL-35552-1F, (TML-S stamp), T1 PBL-35552-1H (TML-M stamp)

to list as variant or separate entry? What does the TML stamp mean?
