Hey guys, I was listening to the song Bad Boy from the Beatles' compilation Past Masters when an idea suddenly came to my mind that how come the Estate have never released a compilation full of hard-to-find, non-album tracks, especially when they claim there is not enough material to make a full length album and the fans are longing for a proper release?
I believe, a certain amount of non-album tracks are not familiar to certain fans. For instance, Shout, which is exclusively featured on Cry single, Mind Is The Magic, which is the theme song for Siegfried & Roy show in Las Vegas and Can't Get Outta The Rain, which is a re-recorded and remixed part 2 of You Can't Win and previously appeared on Billie Jean and The Girl Is Mine singles.
In order to get hold of all Michael's released tracks, fans have to pay a pricey amount to acquire some rare items, so why not just released a compilation with all rare solo tracks? It's not just a greatest hits compilation to grab money, but a supplement to Michael's repertoire and allow casual fans to have a deeper understading of the King Of Pop's music, also a niche collector's item to most die-hard fans.
I'm sure fans will like the idea, if the Estate are to pick right songs, leave no stones unturned, design decent artwork and throw some proper promotions. Gosh, I wish I can have that kind of compilation right away!
