The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Sidebar: one of the tapes has a date of July 1985 listed. Could that be when “Loving You” was recorded?
I think yeah. According to the info on the Xscape booklet:

"[...] originally recorded at Red Wing Studio in the San Fernando Valley during the early Bad sessions. [...] After his home studio was renovated, Jackson continued work on the track at Hayvenhurst."

That would explain there being two boxes: the multitrack reel (dated 7-28-85) and the 2" stereo reel contaning that, Turning Me Off and a third song I couldn't decypher. It could mean that the song was recorded at Red Wing and later mixed or remixed at Hayvenhurst.
 
The warping sound was something that was intentionally done yeah. I remember reading the quote about it when it came out.
 
There is song from bad period called splash we can get wet babe there is any info about it it's registered ?
 
I think yeah. According to the info on the Xscape booklet:

Cheater was that third song.
 
An inside source who I prefer not to name. I don't get my kicks out of posting false info, either, so I find it reliable. I'll just say it is someone who would know, given the circumstances.
Turning me off someone said no verses only chords

“Turnin’ Me Off” was recorded at Hayvenhurst in January ‘86, so it can’t be that. However, Matt Forger told Damien Shields that MJ randomly asked him to mix “Loving You” one day and then never returned to it—perhaps that’s why they’re on the same reel?

Makes sense. He had the multitrack lying around and Matt got to mixing all in one sitting.
 
Does anyone know anything about this song?

I clicked on it and it led me to released Michael songs....
The copyright office kinda lumps together everybody with the same name. If you look up, say, Tim Roberts (generic name), you’ll come across dozens of people. You kinda gotta wade through the nonsense to find the real titles.

One tip: search Mijac Music. Damn near everything MJ ever registered has them listed. If they aren’t there, there’s a decent likelihood it’s not our MJ.
 
I have another question, did Michael record Mystery for Thriller? A song written by Rod Temperton and given to The Manhattan Transfer and Anita Baker.
