"Anthology" is a compilation album featuring a collection of Motown hits by pop and R&B singer Michael Jackson, along with additional tracks by The Jackson 5, and some rare material from 1973. The album was first released in the United States on November 14, 1986. It was re-released on November 8, 1995, with alternate versions of some tracks, and has sold three million copies worldwide. In 2008, to celebrate Jackson's 50th birthday, Anthology was reissued as part of Universal Music's Gold series, just months before his passing.
