Soulsation! is a 4-CD box set of music recorded by the Jackson 5 during their tenure at Motown Records from 1969 to 1975, before leaving Motown for CBS Records. The box set was released in 1995 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Jackson 5 becoming the first group to have its first four singles go straight to number 1 on the US Billboard charts. Soulsation! included an introduction from the group's sister Janet, liner notes from David Ritz, and an essay from the brothers' first producer, Bobby Taylor. The fourth disc features 17 previously unreleased songs, most recorded from mid-1969 to early 1972. The set also includes solo numbers from brothers Michael, Jermaine, and Jackie.
Songs from all of the Jackson 5's studio albums from 1969 to 1975 are included here, as well as half of the 1976 album of unreleased material Joyful Jukebox Music.
