[Minimj]

Sounds good. Remember it is only a demo, so don't expect a finished song. I just wish I could understand his jibberish at times..

[Applehead Ale]

Wish I could understand too lol

so far I like

[MJelboo]

It's not *the* most exciting MJ track I've ever heard, but still, it's Michael! Can't wait to hear the full track.

RIGHT, not going to listen to the snippet as I want the full experience in at least real 320 kbps.

Obviously, not many people have gotten the CD. Was Amazon.de lying about the date? To get more pre-orders?

[MJelboo]

It sounds very Thrillerish, though. Estate, get your chronology right!

[xrisx]

I like the preview, I'm curious to hear the full song.

[earthlyme]

from a prior post

Fans have known of the track’s existence for quite some time however its actual origins remain under question. In a 2008 interview Jackson’s then-lawyer Peter Lopez let slip of the recording’s possible inclusion on the 25th anniversary re-release of the Thriller album.It was reported at the time that the track was an outtake from the Thriller sessions. Either way, the creative direction of that particular release (which would become Thriller 25) changed, and the song was never made public.

Following his passing, one of Jackson’s longest-serving producers Brad Buxer registered a song, titled Don’t Be Messin’, with the US Copyright Office.Buxer and Jackson first began working together on the Dangerous album sessions in 1989, and continued a professional relationship through 2006. Buxer’s possession of the recording and subsequent registration of it would indicate that Jackson, with Buxer’s assistance, continued to work on the song long after both the Thriller and BAD albums had been completed and released..

Bruce Swedien, Jackson’s long time studio engineer and the man that recorded Jackson’s vocals spoke about “Don’t Be Messin’ Round” in a 2009 interview, in which he referred to it as a “powerful” and “mesmerizing” ballad. “Michael plays piano on it, and it’s just beautiful … Oh my God, there’s nothing like it”.

Recently I was fortunate enough to with talk to someone who is familiar with the song.
“It’s cool”, she explained. “It’s not something you’d typically expect from Michael Jackson. When you listen to songs like Smooth Criminal or Dirty Diana which come from the same era it’s understandable why Messin’ wasn’t included on Bad. It’s too different. It doesn’t fit.” Nevertheless, I was assured that fans will thoroughly enjoy the track.

“From what I could tell”, she continued, “it hasn’t been touched up. It seems to be the way Michael left it. It sounds like something you might have heard in a classy Jazz bar back in the ’50s. That’s the mood of the song. It’s a lounge type song.” “You can imagine Michael just sitting at the piano, in the privacy of his home, jamming for his friends and family on this one. It’s really nice.”

I love how interesting and different this is compared to some of his other work, just shows how diverse the Bad sessions really were. Really excited to hear the full track, preview was fantastic.

Right, looks like I was half way right when I said they wouldn't release it 1st:

Also ich habe jetzt bei Sony angerufen Folgendes: Die Frau hat im PC nachgeschaut und veröffentlichungstermin ist HEUTE. Ich hab ihr gesagt,dass weder Amazon noch diverse Media Markt und Saturn Filialen CDs bekommen haben. Sie sagte sie kann nur sehen,dass keine Ware ausgeliefert wurde diese Woche. Den Grund kann sie nicht auf ihrem Bildschirm finden. Dann sagte sie,dass HEUTE Ware rausgeht und Montag halt die CD in den Filialen sein sollte......

Google translate:

So now I have called Sony the following: The woman looked up in the PC and release time is NOW. I told her that neither Amazon nor have received various Media Markt and Saturn stores CDs. She said she can only see that no goods were shipped this week. The reason they can not find it on their screen. She said that goes out TODAY goods and Monday should hold the CD in the stores ......

So it looks like it's suppose to be released today, but they havent shipped any CDs out to the stores. Then she says that today they are sending them out to stores.

It sounds like early Bad sessions to me 1985-1986. But definitively Bad Era vocals. I love it.

[FunkeyJay]

Just checked a local CD store and they didn't have it as well.

So it looks like it's suppose to be released today, but they havent shipped any CDs out to the stores.

Clever *facepalm*

True. Amazon sent me a mail today, stating they don't have the article and are trying to get it. Probably many German fans will try it in stores like Saturn today. But maybe we won't get the song until tomorrow or Monday.
