    I wonder why the bonus disc won't be released as SACD

    It seems they changed the logo. But it's still crap.

    They never get a good response so I don't know why they would waste their time with this.

    True.
    Plus it'd be IMPOSSIBLE to tell Michael Jackson's story in a 2hr film.
    I'd be a lot more inclined if it was a miniseries divided into seasons. The thing is, they'd have to cast about 5 different actors to play MJ throughout his life, and they'd all have to be not only somewhat similar in terms of looks, but they'd also have to move gracefully and be skillful dancers. And on top of that, they should be able to actually act properly.

    Season 1 - From age 5 to Thriller
    Season 2- From Thriller to Dangerous
    Season 3- From Dangerous to 2001 (Invincible)
    Season 4- From 2001 until he passed away.

    So Season 3 and 4 would have a lot of controversy because that's when all the allegations happened and that's when he changed the most. They crushed his soul and he never fully recovered.

    Yeah communities went bananas when they saw the new one.
    Then the MJ Estate released a statement saying it was only to promote the new release, but they would keep the original in the actual album. They had to back-paddle.

    oh so the problem was the font? it indeed shouldn't have been touched as it's part of the album art and the Thriller and Bad artworks are perfect. So, did they make the better choice now and use the original in the end or not?

    This is a great documentary, I can't believe someone uploaded the whole thing:

    I wish they would've done something like this for his other albums. I remember when the 25th anniversairy for Dangerous came and they did absolutely nothing.

    Yeah. But they didn't do anything because it was in the midst of Wade Robson's accusations right before Leaving Neverland.

    MJ's Estate promised that now that's over with, and their case has been DISMISSED, they will be releasing new stuff more often.
    Although The Estate are a joke and have treated Michael's Legacy like he was just any other regular artist, so they can't be trusted.



    And by the way, if you guys are MJ fans but still have doubts about his innocence, I suggest you watch this:

    Bad25 was dope because there weren’t any Bad era leaks.
    we have most of the stuff from Thriller and Dangerous due to the special editions that were to be released in 2001 (double discs, one the remastered album, the other one with demos).

    Apparently these will be the unreleased tracks

    If this is real, then Stand Tall and Spice Of Life are the only two never heard before songs.
    Still, I will appreciate all these songs in CDQ - hopefully they won't ruin them by mastering them too loud to the point there's no dynamics, as they've done with every re-issue of old and already perfectly mastered albums, like you can see in the image below:

    It's kind of cool to see that Hot Street will finally be released officially. It's a hidden gem that people should know imo. The original version of Behind The Mask sounds interesting too. But yeah, too bad we won't get to hear other stuff from the vault.

    Like I anticipated, there are a bunch of tracks which were already released in some way. Sunset Driver already came out as a part of the "Ultimate Collection" in 2004.

    That track is also from the Off The Wall sessions....
    Idk what they were thinking tbh.
