I didnt keep this file. I compared it to Chicago original version and they were exactly the same thing. They played at exactly the same time. The wave forms were the same. It was a fake…literally the one on xscape

It's not a fake and the waveforms aren't the exact same

No it isn't a fake stereo mix.

What you are listening to is a track that was mixed down with all the knobs almost in the middle. You can take a multitrack and keep everything in the middle and it'll mix down as a mono track, but if you move somethings slightly in one direction the entire thing will mix in stereo. If you look at the waveform to Chicago the left and right channels don't exactly match all the way through. There are subtle differences throughout.

Play them both at the same time in the audio editor. it shouldn't be that exact. that's the best way to tell. With regards to waveforms...the CD, iTunes and Qobuz rips all have slightly different waveforms to each other. It's easy to manipulate and call it legit when it isn't.

The waveforms are clearly different, it also sounds slightly clearer. I guess we will just agree to disagree.

lol fair enough. That being said. the iTunes edition of Xscape is still the best in terms of mastering and sound imo. They knocked it out of the park with that album and Bad 25. I'm hoping for the same with Thriller 40.

What the actual f...

BTM is a cover, first of all. Let's set that straight. If I remember correctly, Quincy heard the song on a trip to Japan and suggested it to MJ. True or not, the YMO version was released in 1979. MJ didn't record the track until around 1981.

You know, I did read something (not sure if reliable) that said WALWTG was originally written back on the Forever, Michael album, which would be 1974. Shrug.

He does date the song back to the 70s in the Mexico Deposition. Not sure about a fifteen year old Michael vocal, tho. lol.

Could be true then.

The snippet we've heard is thankfully early 80's vocals and we know he liked to go back and re-do certain songs etc.
