However, one should not have high expectations before being disappointed again by estate

I'm not disappointed with the estate. I have zero interest in them, really. I would love it if they did an annual newsletter or made some announcement to talk about certain aspects of Michael's estate. I would love to know how things are going with his material archives. How are the artefacts being looked after? What plans are there for using those resources in the future? I hate to raise the Prince estate here but I have to, lol. The Prince estate has a team of archivists who have just moved his vault from Paisley Park to a climate-controlled Iron Mountain storage facility - or so The Observer newspaper tells me. I wish I could believe that Michael's material archives were being as well looked after. And maybe they are. But some info direct from the Estate would be lovely. I know they are busy and have had an awful lot to contend with over the years. But this is something they could easily do.

Other than that, I'm content to just wait and see what happens next.
 
Where’s Thriller HD video? It’s almost Halloween Missed opportunity smfh.

A blue ray release with making of thriller ghosts would have trumped everything
 
At this point I don't even care about any physical release. I'll be happy if they upload Thriller 4K in YouTube. I seriously don't ask for more.

Yeah, an archive kinda thing via Prime/Netflix would work for each era though wouldn't it? Could add things over the years.. cheaper than producing physical products and would also be more accessible for the consumer.

    Michael Jackson war ein Jahrhunderttalent. Mit seinen Alben, ganz besonders mit „Thriller“ und der gleichnamigen Single, schrieb er 1982 Musikgeschichte. Dieser Erfolg war von keinem mehr zu überbieten, selbst Jacksons nachfolgende Werke reichten nicht mehr heran.

Rleasing a Victory Tour concert would require the collaboration of all living Jackson brothers. Prior to the reissues last year, their working relationship was… contentious, to say the least. Let’s not pretend like they can just release a concert without issue.

Are you sure? A lot of the time they make teenagers sign some sort of disclaimer to give up their rights.

Besides, I don't exactly see Marlon doing much to make money to pay his bills at the moment. I'm sure the brothers would love it to have another payday.

It also makes a whole lot of sense. On the singles from Thriller, there are a total of 4 or 5 live Jacksons recordings. So that's stuff that has already been released and could be included without issue.

's all very impressive what Nirvana, Prince or Guns N' Roses release but they haven't had any controversies attached to their names.

Um, what?! No controversies? The Nirvana frontman is known for having fights onstage. His wife allegedly took drugs while pregnant, and then when his daughter was about two, he put his shotgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger.

As for Guns n Roses, there's pretty much nothing about them that isn't controversial.

I wonder where they went. Destroyed? Misplaced?

Just disintegrated. This sort of stuff just gets stored in a damp garage. The source material just slowly deteriorates. It has to be digitised as early as possible. Probably for each year in storage you lose another 10 pixels.

Having said that, the imax version does look good. Shame it sounded so bad. Opposite case to Bad/Wembley, which sounded good but looked unwatchably terrible.

As for Thriller short films I think they should be released on both physical & digital so we actually own it and have the best quality. Just post it on the official MJ YT. Hopefully the leaks are true and it does happen next month.

Those live versions were just catalogue releases - all sourced from an already released LP (The Jacksons Live '81).
 
I think he should have named his son Princess to avoid confusion with the real Prince. I can’t be the only one who has problems with this.

It’s definitely late, but putting MJ on the f**king NASDAQ? That’s awesome. Hopefully we’re seeing the beginning of the buildup!

It’s not late. This is the PERFECT time to begin the marketing strategy right at Halloween. If the Estate had started it earlier, it wouldn’t have been as effective. I LOVE the NASDAQ nod. Brilliant and Awesome.👌👏👊
