Jermaine Jackson * Original 1984 Promo Poster * Dynamite * Michael Jackson

Description

This is one of many vintage Rock and Roll / New Wave / Punk / Metal / Hair Band promotional posters I am listing from a single collection, tonight. These are from the estate of a girl who worked at a local record (remember them) store from 1978 - 1986. She saved all her favorite bands promo posters and has a very diverse collection ranging from Bob Dylan & Alice Cooper to AC~DC & Motley Crue to The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees. They are in generally excellent condition, with some wear to edges at times and the occasional tear. I will describe all prominent defects in detail. Shipping can be combined on these posters. They will be shipped in rigid tube rolled.
This is a great poster for Jermaine Jackson's self titled album, Jermaine Jackson. What a great look Jermaine has with that famous Jackson military costume look, made famous by his little brother Michael. This album was Jermaine's biggest commercial success and it Contains the Smash Hits: Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin' (Too Good To Be True) Duet with Michael Jackson - Dynamite - Sweetest Sweetest. At lower left is Copyright 1984 Arista Records. At bottom center is Arista On Arista Records and Qualitape Cassettes AL8-8203. It's in excellent condition with minor edge wear in spots. It's a large 24" x 34".

Background
Jermaine Jackson was Jackson's first of numerous albums released with Arista Records, after leaving Motown, who he had been with for thirteen years. The album was released internationally under the title Dynamite. The album went on to be Jackson's second-most successful album in his native United States, peaking thirteen places below Let's Get Serious, and reaching Gold status.[2] Internationally, it was Jackson's most successful album, peaking within the charts of four non-US territories. "When the Rain Begins to Fall", originally recorded for the soundtrack of Voyage of the Rock Aliens, was later included on the album after its success as a single.
The album track "Take Good Care of My Heart" a duet with the then relatively unknown singer Whitney Houston was also the B-Side of the released "Dynamite" single, and, the song later appeared on the self-titled debut album of American R&B and pop singer Whitney Houston, released February 14, 1985 on Arista Records.
The album was re-issued in 2005 in the US with little difference compared to the original album. It was reissued again in Japan in 2009 with "When the Rain Begins to Fall" and two bonus tracks, and again in the US in 2012. This edition also contained "When the Rain Begins to Fall", both bonus tracks on the Japanese edition, as well as three more bonus tracks.

Jason Elias from Allmusic gave the album a positive track-by-track view, saying "[Jermaine Jackson] has him doing a slickly produced variant of the R&B/pop his brother was making sound effortless." and concluded "While Jermaine Jackson's not a perfect album, despite the ground covered, it is a strong one."

"Sweetest Sweetest" was released as the album's lead single outside of the US, and charted moderately in Belgium (Flanders), Netherlands, New Zealand and the UK.
