I don't think there'll ever be a 4K version of Billie Jean. It was shot in 16mm film, which is limited to 1080p max (some say 2K, but that's for extra sharpness).
So 12 releasable songs from Thriller made with Quincy. I wonder what all the titles are... Thank you for sharing this btw.From a french article, as to why we might miss songs like Hot street on thriller 40.
" Will there be other Michael Jackson unreleased one day?
Yes, assures Laurent Hopman, there are still many unpublished works by Michael Jackson. Some, like Hot street , and Night Line , have already leaked, but in poor quality. “There are a dozen or so titles, recorded during this period, which we know of and which are sufficiently accomplished to be interesting. But these titles, produced by Quincy Jones, will not be released as long as the famous producer is at odds with the singer's estate.
"The estate did a musical show in Las Vegas, 'Michael Jackson One,' using recordings of music produced by Quincy Jones, but they remixed it, partly to avoid having to pay royalties." The dispute even went to trial, with the producer claiming millions of dollars from Michael Jackson's estate.
Another producer, Steve Porcaro, member of the Toto group, also owns a few. "But the estate was not ready to pay enough to have them", underlines Laurent Hopman."
"Thriller" a 40 ans: d'où viennent les inédits de Michael Jackson présents sur la réédition?

I don't have that long. I wish!
I really hope I'll still be rocking out at 80 but, realistically? It might not happen. Things do change.
I'm glad someone understands this. I just want MJE to do a couple of lovely big box sets. Is that so hard? I can't see why.
It’s not available on itunes or apple music in the UK.
Nature sucks
I want us all being alive to see all his creations!Don't think they are making it about themselves, What you have to remember is Smooth, they are here to represent an artist who valued magical and illusion and who's character was built on privacy, keeping him alive and relevant in the 21st century so that's quite hard for John and team to do in this " in your face" - day and age. Social Media blows the fabric of the true artist art away -It's hard to see Michael Jackson "tweeting"- It looks weird - Do you understand that ? Did you experience the Michael Jackson era before the huge social media input ? Not talking about a few chat rooms and such, I think they are adamant to keep the illusion Michael so very much believed in and i am in the majority here i know , but i congratulate John for now... I appreciate he has not made a "Michael Jackson " tik tok. My OG fan friends would blink.
M was here though with T25 so he could approve things it felt alright, now we just will never know...
His approval didn’t mean much. It was a trash project. Horrible remaster of the album and horrible remixes.
Agree! I put that on the heresy thread! I am loving Starlight.Anyway heres a thought to piss everyone off
I do love T25. But now we have T40 .....
I've only listened to Starlight once but I did prefer it to Thriller.
Exact;y zin. Now see that's three. That's three Michael Starlights . Who else are with us lol
Problematic? Nah, I'm fine with it. I often do prefer demos to the final version, though. Not sure why but there's something so magical about them.We are all problematic Starlight lovers
Um, wend, I thought you liked the 4K? I thought it was just me who doesn't like Thriller 4K.
Same, I always preferred the demos. I'm also a PYT demo lover, the probably most problematic heretic of the heretics.
Yeah It is raw and the creativity is flowing from the artist, It is nice to hear in earphones- Michael demos works so well for that. He always has been fantastical in his demos. Fall again... all of those.
What's the story there?
I never hear anyone in the fandom talking about the song and I was obsessed with it the first time I heard it. So the conclusion here must be, that I'm a truly insane person. Heretic!
Well I was thinking about this , and i thought about it very hard. It does look spectacular and Michael is beautiful you can not take your eyes off the screen yes but after watching it a few times(try 30) the story is not the same. i'm seeing stuff i shouldn't be . Something about it ,and I will have to say the original will carry more atmosphere And above all, it is not the finished version he saw in his art.
That is definitely part of it. The producer isn't involved yet or only minimally. There isn't a big 'production' all around the song yet.
I do think I've noticed something different about Michael demos compared to others I've heard over the years. We're on a whole other level.
Before Friday I don't think I had ever knowingly listened to a leaked item. But I don't feel bad about it. Not at all. If anything I'm feeling freakin' bolshie!
I don't prefer the demo every time but often I do. They def capture something special. The final version can gain a lot but it always loses something, as well.
I hate the estate with a passion!
