so there wont be space for hot street AND Niteline.. how can they miss the chance to release those now?
Because of:
Carousel
CGOTR
Starlight (not fitting the outtakes concept)

and why don't they add ALL Thriller related Songs that have previously been released including: for all time and someone in the dark? they could simply add all of thouse on 14 or more Tracks CD. its such a mess :D

Anyway, I am looking forward to the few unreleased tracks that are announced but this project for CD2 seems so unfinished and not thought-through!

I honestly think we will get only one and not both of those: HotStreet / Nite line. So they keep one for another release.. oh man, seriously? Thats weird for such widely known unreleased tracks within the community

lets see if at least one more totally unheard Track will be released.

The most obvious reason why they hold on to other outtakes is THRILLER 50.
Which would have been best if they did just wait for that.
THRILLER 50 after Thriller25.

They also may hold on to the strongest outtakes because of a new album of unreleased material.
Which I think is good & reasonable. They just should have scrapped Thriller40. Wait with the anniversary for the 50th. Give us a Halloween Special this year, with a Film release of Making Of Thriller 4K & Ghosts 4K.
And the new album for Christmas.
Or they could have celebrated MJ‘s 50 solo years, last year!
But Thriller 40, to me was always odd!

The argument I read multiple times in this thread, that they are going for the most comprehensive Thriller Collection with this release is out the window.
Comprehensive does no mean putting OTW & pre OTW era tracks on the album.
And it does not mean leaving out songs, that definitely belong to the Thriller era (like Someone In The Dark).
Comprehensive also does not mean keeping tracks under wraps for a future, bigger anniversary release.

There's no hint for Starlight being on cd#2 so far.

I kinda agree...and just as they didnt release the best outtakes and only 6 titles on Bad25
IMO 3 of the unreleased songs on Bad25 was just ok...nothing more.
(loved the other 3 though)

Queen Productions.
A deluxe boxset of their second-to-last album with Freddie, The Miracle, is due to release 18/11 (same day as Thriller 40) containing 6 unheard demos. One of them has been released yesterday as a single. The pitch-correction on Freddie's vocals is completely unsettling.
They've been doing this for basically all their releases over the last 10 years.
 
I don't understand releasing Thriller 40 if they're thinking ahead for Thriller 50. Surely they'd just wait?

What are they going to do for Thriller 50? Release Cheater as unreleased "rarity" because it was written by MJ and Greg Phillinganes, and they both worked on Thriller, so it's an outtake from Thriller by the Sunset Driver logic

Then they'll make another documentary about Thriller, were we'll hear how the first mix sounded terrible, Rod wrote the Thriller rap in the taxi on the way to the studio and how there was a knock at the door before Van Halen's guitar solo on Beat It.

Meanwhile we still don't have the background/origins of tracks from Dangerous, HIStory, BOTD and Invincible

With SD now being released on T40 it's quite odd that Cheater was treated like an orphan and not included on Bad25.

So, the issue is that the estate isn’t willing to empty an already-limited vault? And you’re upset over a track listing that you don’t yet have in full? I also want to hear more, but I’d rather them stagger things than blow it all on a single release. It’s called forethought.

Forethought? I might drop dead tomorrow. I want them to release everything over a ten-year period, so we get a chance to hear it all before we all croak. Then they can make money from their circus shows and broadway plays, for people who enjoy that sort of things.
 
It doesn't seem like there's an era pinned for Hot Fun In The Summertime, the demo was found after MJ's death at the Marvin's Room Studio.

The song is a cover of Sly's Hot Fun In The Summertime and although John Branca and L.A Reid claim only the chorus was recorded I guess it is completed since it actually has verses, chorus and ad-libs recorded by Michael. It was remixed for the Xscape album of which D’Angelo, Questlove, Mary J. Blige, Eric Leeds, Pino Palladino and Jesse Johnson participated on (Mary J. Blige doesn't sing on the song much though).

Casey Rain has heard the song twice, if you have any more questions you should ask him on Twitter https://twitter.com/CaseyRain

So much confusion lol. You'd think that we'd just be able to get correct answers when people who have heard the song describe it lol.

Happy or not this release is very important. Doing nothing is no option, waiting for the 50th anniversary is a long time. By then MJ could be completely forgotten. Thriller 40 remains the safest option to get attention.

Who knows if the world as we know it will even exist after 10 years! Estate! if you are listening, please don't hold good things for some futuristic 50th anniversary!!

I thought that the general consensus was to not trust John Branca when it came to unreleased music lmao, the same person who claimed that there were only 2 complete songs after MJ died and who still swears that there's nothing in the vault. Alright that his focus isn't on unreleased songs but don't just straight up lie to the fans.

I thought it was LA Reid who talked about the song, I guess he didn't actually listen to the track lol.
 
^Last response makes no sense. If MJ didn't sing it on his demo then he didn't sing it in the remix. More confusion lol.

It’s not all about you. There are still Beatles outtakes that haven’t been released. Think of how many millions of fans died without ever hearing them in full. Same with 2pac, with Biggie, with Whitney, and with every dead recording artist. I also want to hear as much as I can before I go, but I have the awareness that Michael’s career and vault doesn’t revolve around my wishes and desires.

U anger me ok this song recorded during thriller so stop

I was once told it was recorded in 2007. Michael Prince also alluded to that in an interview (which I don’t have on hand). Then again, it could’ve been recorded in the 1980s or 1990s. None of us know.

Point is, this isn’t the place unless it’s confirmed.
