The synth sound at the beginning of Beat It was actually replayed from Denny Jaeger's demo a year before then.
According to "MJ: The Genius of Michael Jackson" by Steve Knopper, Jaeger contacted MJ, and he not only got credit, but also got to work in Bad album. https://books.google.ca/books?id=60p5DAAAQBAJ&pg=PA108&dq=denny+jaeger+beat+it&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=denny%20jaeger%20beat%20it&f=false
Turned out he did work on "Smooth Criminal" and "Dirty Diana", and the mysterious intro of "Dirty Diana" was created by him. I saw him name in the 2001 edition BAD album.
But did he get his credit in Beat It? Does his name appear in any editions of Thriller album? I checked the images online of both Thriller and Thriller25. The images I found of Thriller did not contain his name, but maybe that's because it was the initial version, it was printed and released before he even talked to MJ's team. In images I found of Thriller25 did not even contain the information of the old songs, only those remixes.
So has anyone seen his Denny Jaeger's credit in any editions of Thriller??
