How do we know that the released version is from '82 again?
The registration with the US Copyright Office states it as a 1982 recording.

Oh that's interesting. Rather strange that it doesn't seem to have been updated all that much, still sounds like OTW era recording.

The US Copyright Office registries also state “In the Back” as a 1989 recording, even though it wasn’t conceived until 1995. Not saying that it’s incorrect, because I also buy that it’s a Thriller outtake. Just throwing out there that these registries aren’t always accurate or reliable.

Maybe the vocal take is still the same from the '79 version, or maybe the US Copyright Office is wrong, at this point, who knows...

Yeah, it could be wrong. I didn't really consider those registrations being inaccurate tbh, seems like something you'd make sure was correct.

Funny how lots of stuff associated with TUC has inaccuracies lol

I remember that it is a reworked version of the song from '82 but I don't know if he re-recorded again in '82

Not long left now! I think we'll get some more unheard songs on Disc 2 than originally thought.
 
I will be happy with Hot Street or Nite Line. For the love of god, I hope it isn’t Can’t Get Out Of The Rain.
 
Happy Birthday Derek1984 🎂🍀

But I think this week might be a downer, with a title like „Carousel“.
I just hope it’s not the 13th track & this prediction reg. CGOTR & Sunset Driver comes true.
Let „Carousel“ be the first track on CD2 & also the last of the already released ones.
Give us leaked & unreleased stuff.
-Carousel
-Hot Street
-Niteline
-x?x?x
-Chicago1945
 
I feel the same about Sunset Driver. It's a good song, great even, but I don't want it on here.
I don’t want it either, but I can see a fair case being made for its inclusion (“we want this to be the most comprehensive reissue ever!”). And at least it’s a solid song; CGOTR is just… stupid.

Chicago 1945 will not release in that album and buffalo bill too

I wasn’t sold on “Chicago 1945” until they announced “What a Lovely Way to Go.” I still don’t think Steve Porcaro would be actively reworking it for a reissue, but clearly they aren’t against including unheard, finished/mostly finished songs, so it’s possible.

U are wrong what a lovely way to go it's before off the wall .it's not like buffalo bill and Chicago 1945 because both recorded after thriller .buffalo bill after bilie jean .and Chicago 1945 for triumph album .if they will release unheard song they can release rolling the dice .because it was recorded for thriller

So underwhelming. I like Sunset Driver but it has already been released before.
