Hot topic What unreleased demos and remixes do you think will be on Thriller 40 Disc 2?

[ChanceToDance]

this was the first post we had on discussion. none of them is made the list lol.

We are getting songs that we've heard before so I was right on that lol

 

[Fuzball]

I think Thriller40 is the first reissued record in the history whose entire tracklist is kept a secret until prior to a week before its release.

 

[ChanceToDance]

The demo of Behind the Mask would be great - as MJ left it.

I would think Quincy was involved with Behind The Mask. So that leaves several possibilities for unheard tracks:

Lovely Way

The Fact that these were right on spot tho

Does it release next week already? I can't tell I never saw ads for it lol

 

[Beano Wild]

Honestly, Thriller 40 is a good release to clean up the discography from leaks like starligjt and shes trouble, and one-off releases like sunset, cgotr and got the hots.

Well I can come with the highly incompetent Shady Records (Eminem’s label) that I constantly shit on. They released a greatest hits album without announcing the Tracklist some months ago lol.

Being a fan of both him and MJ makes me jealous of other artists no joke.

Well, Jimmy Brian and Mike was amazing, em came back and finished it up for the release.

Release date is Friday 18th

One new song and instrumentals on expanded editions.

Don’t get me wrong, I love collecting and I got tons of CDs and vinyls. But project like Curtain Call 2 and expanded editions are rather lacking.

 

[SmoothGangsta]

Totally off topic but I can't stand most of Eminem's recent output. Sounds like a goblin who stops and starts constantly. It's fine when it fits the beat but he seems to go out of his way to make sure it doesn't lol.

Release date is supposed to be 18th Nov, I think. I haven't seen anything.

'In The Back' is not an example of scratch vocals because it is a vocally finished track that was even meant to get a release in that vocal state on the 'Blood On The Dance Floor' album.

The funniest and most ludicrous thing I’ve read so far on this thread. So, a song on which Michael goes “ta ta ta ta ta” during the verses is a “vocally finished track”.

You learn something new everyday I guess.

we'll hear all the tracks on the 16th, id say as cds begin to get ripped.

I'll wait until release to hear the exact same version of Sunset Driver that's on TUC, thanks!

 

[Fuzball]

It's possible we'll get 30 sec preview snippets this Friday

 

[SmoothCriminal1995]

I remember we heard the songs on Bad 25, the week before it was released so it's likely we'll hear something in the next week or so

 

[Lotfi11k]

I do know some, and again same scenario, instrumentals, chorus only, for the most part.

U heard all songs with Loren and Babyface ? But u did not hear them all tell me which songs u heard?

'In The Back' is not an example of scratch vocals because it is a vocally finished track that was even meant to get a release in that vocal state on the 'Blood On The Dance Floor' album.

Scratch vocals are vocals that are recorded without the intention of keeping them or using them in the final stages of production (of the song).

Scratch vocals are recorded along with the rhythm parts of the song (drums, percussion, etc) in order to set the general vibe of the song and also to help the musicians play their parts.

Scratch vocals are also going to be later replaced with better vocals (on a song).

The 'Jam' original demo from the 'Dangerous' sessions (which is available on YouTube) is a clear example of his scratch vocals.

This guy is like if "For All Time was a Thriller outtake" was a living, breathing person

Men in black have more verses by MJ ? Songs with chorus are like satisfy you ?

Behind The Mask was the only song I really wanted so I've been appeased this whole time. Spice of Life would be cool too, if only.

It's really nice that Lovely Way is finally getting it's appraisal.

 

[SmoothMel7]

J'en connais quelques-uns, et encore une fois le même scénario, instrumentaux, refrain uniquement, pour la plupart.

And for Darkchild?

it says 10 days because it will be released at a specific time on 11/18. For me it's now 10pm 11/07 and rounded up it's 10 days til the release

 

[dam2040]

Preordered on Amazon just now, always hope it gets delivered early lol. I managed to get the Immortal CD a few days early I remember so fingers crossed lol

 

[Dorian]

I think the saddest thing is that the last song Michael managed to finish (For All Time) is incorrectly labelled by him as a Thriller demo.

If it does get delivered early, don't you dare share that or you'll get a cool looking 500k fine lmao

The entire Thriller 25 project gives off the impression that MJ didn’t want to do it. Pushing for remixes in place of unreleased tracks, tossing a random Dangerous outtake on there… It’s not becoming for the best-selling album of all time.

That’d make this the better Thriller 40 anniversary release, would it not?
