PLEASE NOTE: These are hypothetical concepts. In no way will these 100% actually happen. I made up the concept for all of this,so please do not freak out.
HIStory: Past,Present,and Future Book I - 20th Anniversary Special Edition CD
Release: June 13th,2015
Front cover:
Back cover:
Notes:
- I wanted to keep the concept of the HIStory cover as original as possible,but give it a modernized flare. I kept the concept of the clouds and the statue,and the red used in the clouds gives the cover a grungier feel,because this was an "angrier" album.
- Choosing June 13th as a release date was very important because it not only was the original HIStory release date,it also commemorates a very important moment in Michael Jackson history,which is the tenth anniversary of his acquittal of child molestation allegations.
- For the second disc,I chose officially commissioned remixes,not to downplay from fan remixes,but it fits the album better. Some remixes were featured on Blood On The Dance Floor: HIStory In The Mix. An orchestral version of Childhood and a non-rap version of the 2 Bad Refugee Camp remix don't exist,but it can be included,as this is a fan made concept.
- Also for the second disc, I replaced tracks without officially commissioned remixes (D.S.,Come Together,Tabloid Junkie,Little Susie,and Smile) with tracks that were not available during HIStory's original release,but are available as of now,including the extended 15 minute version of the DMC Megamix,which has previously been unreleased on official MJ commissioned singles and albums. I know "Fall Again" was not recorded during HIStory's sessions,but I included it because it could be completed from the demo with an orchestral sound and feel,but also a modern twist (not like posthumous albums that The Estate has commissioned so far).
Special Commemorative Boxed Set Edition
Release: June 25th,2015

Notes:
- Not as exciting of a concept as many fans would assume,but the DVD includes a behind the scenes look at Earth Song,You Are Not Alone,Childhood,the making of the HIStory statue,and the HIStory Tour,which has previously been unreleased on officially released Michael Jackson materials.
- I know "Brace Yourself" was made during the Dangerous era,but I feel that it's a good opening to start the DVD.
- The release date of the boxed set coincides with the sixth anniversary of his death,which is why it's being released on this date after the release of the regular version.
- The HIStory Begins MTV Megamix and the HIStory Megamix have both never been officially released up until this DVD.*
* - I will include links to these two videos so you know which mixes I'm talking about.
