The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

John Barnes was asked years ago and confirmed. The Jacksons did an interview in early 1983 and said they had around 15 songs complete for their album with the tour starting September that same year

they mention it at 4:20

There's a bunch of song titles floating around out there from 1983/84 that remain unreleased. So this makes sense.

You mean Michael had already had a working prototype for a Thriller successor?

Yes. CBS attorneys sent a letter to Michael in January of 1983 stating he's due to deliver another album to CBS Records before April per his contract. He was set to release a concept album after Thriller but Thrillers success took off and assuming CBS dropped the request for another album
 
So basically Bad was being worked on as early as 1983? (as a different title obviously)

Fantasy which has been linked to Jermaine? Attitude, Buffalo Bill, Far, Far, Away, I'm guessing that's some of them.

Got to Find a Way Somehow
Ode to Sorrow
Susie
Thank You for Life
You Ain't Gonna Change Nothing
Little Susie
In The Life Of Chico
A Baby Smiles
Be Not Always

Songs like that. The album, in Michaels words, were about children, poverty and "old people"

That's odd they would want another album so quick. And produced by Quincy?

I'm kinda confused about the whole Darkchild website thing. Was that real or was it just a fan thing?

I thought that C1945 was listed there but I recall discussions about it just being a fanmade list?

The one posted above your comment was a fan site. There was a list posted on the former official Darkchild website, but I don’t recall offhand what titles matched between the two (though it’s worth noting that none of them included GYWOOM, which makes me question their legitimacy).

Pretty sure pyramid girl is just something fans made up

I just don't consider a random article mentioning it once as proof that Liberian Girl existed with that title. I guess we will see if a demo called that ever pops up.

SmoothMel7 said:
Totally in agreement with you. MJ was already mentioning the Liberian Girl title as early as 1983.

Two possibilities come to mind. Either the author of the article misremembered the song title or there's a totally different song called PG with no connection to LG at all.

More like the former because these reporters are stupid old croods.

Another reason to believe why it might be fake is because neither Fred or Rodney remembered working on Chicago 1945.
