The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

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".

All versions of Blue Gangsta are a mix of Dr. Freeze and MJ vocals, so I’m not sure what you mean.

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.

Listening to the demo, this would've worked best on The Jacksons album

Bill Bottrell again

I have May 9,10,15,16 for "Children" at Hayvenhurst
No notes on "Loving You". Many songs unidentified.
"Cheater" was pre-H'hurst.
"turning me off" a long time orphan, started tracking Jan 29 1986.
I never recorded lead vocal on TMO. Never got past BGs and tracking. I got sick of that song. (no song)


Oct 30 I was working on "Come Together" by myself.
Maybe the lead voc was done with the "A team".
The song still sucks.


If Brad S. has a DAT [note: of TMO], it's probably from Westlake.
He had no access to H'hurst until the last day of my employment, when he showed up late at night and took away all the tapes. To go to Westlake.
This is why, on Dangerous, I bought a locker with padlock.


I have Who Is It in my calendar.
Late september 1990. Record One.

Mind if I ask, what's the source for this one? Interesting he's got dates from his calendar there.

Korg Nex put 46 DAT Tracks on sale on ebay for 1million $ Korg Nex is out of his mind once again 😂

Even better that the tracks aren't named. A complete shot in the dark, but for $1M a pristine DAT of "Sex Life" could be in your hands !! And maybe even a session or two of the fabled "angry voice".

The first 2/3rds or so consist of material MJ was ostensibly working on at the time of his passing, so they definitely had a design and a through line in place. It’s the last three songs, none of which MJ had looked at in decades (so far as we know), that completely break from that structure.

I think he’s talking about the order of the tracklist, not which songs were chosen.

All the (then) unreleased song titles MJ was asked during the Mexico deposition, who had provided the list of song titles to the attorneys at first hand?

My first thought is that details were pulled from the Copyright Office, but the vast majority mentioned aren't even registered, or at least not acknowledged in the public database. Always thought that was a bit strange.
