Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits compilation by the Jackson 5 released on the Motown label in late 1971. The top 10 single "Sugar Daddy" is included as a new track alongside hits such as "I Want You Back" and "I'll Be There". The album has sold over 5.6 million copies worldwide since its release [5]

A quadraphonic mix was released in Japan in 1975 (this quadraphonic mix was released as a folddown to stereo on an LP in November 2019), marking the first and only release of the band's material in surround sound.[6][7]
