A 1967 recording made by the singing brothers in their hometown of Gary, Ind., for Steeltown Records will be released this summer.
The original was released only regionally, with an 8-year-old Michael Jackson singing lead vocals. Steeltown President Ben Brown found the master tapes in his house last year.
Inverted Records of New York acquired the tapes and remastered them digitally. The first single, ``Big Boy,'' will be released June 1, along with a music video.
Inverted plans to release ``The Steeltown Collection'' later this year.
A Briton has become the first woman to reach the top of Mount Everest alone, her supporters reported Sunday.
Alison Hargreaves, 33, reached the summit of the 29,028-foot mountain on the Nepal-China border Saturday - without oxygen supplies, according to her training camp in Scotland.
She began her climb last week, ascending from Everest's south side in Nepal up the North Face in China, without accompanying sherpas to carry oxygen tanks and other equipment.
In 1980, Reinhold Messner of Italy became the first person to accomplish a solo ascent of Everest, and also was the only other person to reach the top without oxygen supplies, according to Hargreaves' supporters.
