A Treasure Found?

According to Contact Music, a New Jersey man unwittingly purchased a cache of unreleased Jackson 5 recordings.

Richard Altomare, the boss of luggage movement company Universal Express, bought a collection of unclaimed personal belongings from the warehouse. When he was going through the belongings he discovered tapes reported to contain almost 60 unreleased songs by The Jackson 5.

Reportedly, Altomare is negotiating with Sony as well as Michael and Janet Jackson in hopes of releasing the material:

"I've personally talked to Michael and Janet on the phone about the tapes, and even played on a couple of songs for them. At first there was silence on the other end of the line, but that was quickly followed by giggles as if it brought them back to the day those songs were recorded."
