Okay so what did I miss? They took the HD versions of Thriller and Beat it off Apple and Tidal?? Any reason for this? I’m perplexed…

The general assumption is that they were uploaded/posted prematurely and the estate only just noticed.Okay so what did I miss? They took the HD versions of Thriller and Beat it off Apple and Tidal?? Any reason for this? I’m perplexed…
wouldn't surprise meand the estate only just noticed.
They do not carenow a few days before the Thriller 40th anniversary album release i'm seriously wondering why they don't do more promotion for the anniversary release so far not seen much on tv or anything like that if you want a big hit then of course you need to do more promotion sony and the estate?![]()
Bruh, did you just expect logic coming from the Estate that allocated less funds to T40 than a random compilation album?Thriller was already remastered in 2017 so theres no excuse for being behind on any of the other films for this project.
Big 3 should have been restored months If not years ago.
They truly missed the boat by not including the HIStory tour live vocals for the scream compilation. Scary shit I tell you, even pitch correction can’t save those.Bruh, did you just expect logic coming from the Estate that allocated less funds to T40 than a random compilation album?
As stupid as this sounds -since were talking about the biggest album ever- this would explain everything.This pretty much confirmed that they probably saw the 1st April post here. Thought about T40, made both covers in 10 minutes, got some songs from the nearest hdd, filled the gaps with released songs and probably fetched the imax remaster for thriller and the moonwalker remaster for beat it and upscaled them to 4k. Since it seems Billie Jean is still in the works. It looks like they started remastering after they saw the backlash for that crap font
Let's not forget that arguably the most expensive part of the campaign, the 4K/3D remaster of ‘Thriller’, was done years ago.I’m thinking the animated Halloween special and the mashup/remix was also part of the budget? I can’t think of any other reason Scream would require a higher budget than fan events (mediocre as they are), 4K short films, mixing/mastering unreleased songs, billboards, etc.
It seems like MJs music hasn't been a priority to Sony since at least 1997. The Estate is basically in support of them. They have their own legacy to create they think. MJ's back catalog still sells itself really.As stupid as this sounds -since were talking about the biggest album ever- this would explain everything.
It just seems that album (re)releases or Video remasters are not a priority at all to the estate. Basically everything created by MJ himself seems to be less important to them.
Let’s not blame it all on Sony. Michael didn’t make the best decisions in that period as well.It seems like MJs music hasn't been a priority to Sony since at least 1997.

In 2001, it was a creative clash. In 97 he was doing everything they wanted though,near as I can tell. I would've wanted better for Invincible more than anything. But maybe it all started in 95. Anyway..Let’s not blame it all on Sony. Michael didn’t make the best decisions in that period as well.
remember back in the day michaeljackson.com was a load of BS! never updated nothing on the site...nothing has changed!
Is it best to order off the official website? Or should I order off HMV?
They have already lost ALL credibilityCan they just correct all of their mistakes and get ONE thing write with this project, and that being, uploading Thriller, Beat It and Billie Jean all in 4K simultaneously across all platforms and announce it on all their social platforms the minute it goes live
Might save one single shred of credibility they have remaining with this project, idiots.
Yep, completely agree, I said the same on a post a few days back, I have no faith in them, they have no passion for Michael or his music, just to make money (MJ Musical and MJ One are superb for them, cash cows without having to do maintenance)They have already lost ALL credibility
Best thing with this project: some new demos, some hq leaks, mofi vinyl, sacd, 4k videos.Yep, completely agree, I said the same on a post a few days back, I have no faith in them, they have no passion for Michael or his music, just to make money (MJ Musical and MJ One are superb for them, cash cows without having to do maintenance)
Hence I said "with this project" as they have lost it everywhere else and with this thus far lol
The idea is amazing, the execution of it has been attrociousPromotion and the Estatea (and SONYs) way of handling this project has been terrible.
But the release and the 4K videos is amazing !! - Great release/project.
Apparently Carousel is the Billie Jean original demo though lol
I just talked with someone he made me believe him because he said he heard lot .because when he buy album he get bonus songs .i wish he was wrong but if you look at them both have 5 minute durationI have to admit it is very hard to hide my disappointment. I feel just terrible about this news. Is this 100% confirmed by @Lotfi11k ?
Lmaaaao It would be absolutely hilarious if the Estate shipped the Billie Jean demo in place of Carousel as an accident.Apparently Carousel is the Billie Jean original demo though lol
