The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

I thought McClain was working on Hot Fun in 2013/4.

Anyway, confirmed songs that were posthumously reworked/remixed but didn't make Michael or Xscape
  • Hot Fun
  • TYLA
  • IYDLM
  • WALWTG

Did I miss any other track?

Thanks for sharing mate, it's still baffling to me that WALWTG was considered for rework, the song just seems so rough and unfinished

Just a thought: is it possible to create a subforum with restricted access and/or writing permissions for selected (non trolling) users in order to invite engineers/collaborators? Such a forum could be used as a platform to ask anything about the recording proccess in the studio.

Great idea, but i don't think it'd fit the fourm since its a public fourm. A feature we don't see being used nowadays is thew Chat rooms feature in the chat at the bottom of everyone's screen that would be good for this.

Man this snippet takes me back, I remember listening to it a lot right before the world went to shit because of Covid. Can't believe it's been more than 4 years already.

But anyway- Honestly I'm glad that the song didn't end up leaking in 2020, I'm not really a fan of the song but it was still nice to have it as a surprise for T40. Made the fact that 50% of the disc was re-releases hurt less.

It would be great to have it now.

When the seller first sent it to me I nearly had a heart attack. I was in possession of genuine MJ unreleased material - even if it was only 8 seconds or whatever. I had to put it straight on YouTube after verifying with a few people.

My first proper insight into the MJ unreleased underworld. So many morons coming after me, saying it was fake, lyrics made no sense.. then Thriller 40 dropped and.. crickets. Lol

Production sounds cool but I agree with Ronson when he said there was nothing he could do with it. The song has no real lyrics...it was a waste of production.

I agree. I wonder why the Estate chose to give him this specific song, it’s always seemed like a weird choice to me.
 
I wonder if the estate at some point thought they didn't have much else to use. Only reason I can think they'd even consider that song when there's so much better stuff there (at the time)
 
There was no rhyme or reason for the tracklisting of the Michael album, it was as jumbled and confused as can be. Maybe that or they figured they'd be making an album a year and might as well start preparing now. They reworked Love Never Felt So Good that same year, and it did eventually get put on a record, Xscape.

WALWTG also did, just untouched. The song is underrated to me though. Compositionally, it's actually stronger than many of MJs tunes, with the intense vocal ideas and the really long and extravagant bridge. It just needed to be fleshed out lyrically.

Don't forget about DYKWYCA and STTR.

I am not forgetting them, I'm ignoring them. I'm not counting the stuff they reworked, two times over. Otherwise, She Was Lovin' Me 2010 also exists. And possibly a Blue Gangsta version by Freeze.

The version of LNFSG that was produced for Michael, explicitly, ended up on Xscape. Not just the song in general.

Out of curiosity, is there still a way to get Mark's reworked version? I believe its price dropped dramatically after T40 lol

No idea. The place I was trying to get it from shut down. I know for definite another collector was in for it because I was speaking to them. Not sure if they got it

The "original" Blue Gangsta is a mix of Dr. Freezes and Michaels vocals. There are fourteen different mixes including the two versions you know and the reworked one. What's unique about those: The stems are fully digitally available. My favorite is "Blue Gangsta Rough Mix #2".
