2300 Jackson Street is the sixteenth and final studio album by American group the Jacksons, and their final album for record label Epic, released in the United States on May 28, 1989. This is the group's first and only album produced without Michael and Marlon, both of whom left the group following the conclusion of their 1984 Victory Tour (although both appear on the title track). The group's final album peaked at No. 59 on the US Billboard Top Pop Albums chart and at No. 14 on the US Top Black Albums chart, and would sell over half a million copies worldwide. Overview In a Billboard story June 17, 1989 about the release of 2300 Jackson Street, Jackie Jackson was quoted saying "After the Victory album, our backs were against the wall...At first no one at CBS paid us any attention..." When the label heard "Alright With Me" and "If You'd Only Believe", they flew promotion staff for a meeting at Tito's Los Angeles home studio in a show of support. The management firm of Fitzgerald-Hartley heard the album and approached the group about management. They had not managed a black act since the Brothers Johnson. Comparing the Jacksons' without Michael to their former clients Rufus without Chaka Khan, they were quoted saying "People quickly forget the group factor, which is what makes it all happen." For the recording of 2300 Jackson Street, Michael recorded his vocals at the Encino house and Janet recorded her vocals at Marlon's home studio. After the first week of release, the single "Nothin' (That Compares 2 U)" received playlist adds from 84% of black radio. Critical reception The album received praise from music critics.
