The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Any change MJ did some secret back-up vocals on this track or do I just want it too bad..?
(It's on the same Quincy/Rod-album where he joins her for 'State of Independence')

Always wish MJ got this groove.

It was worked on just prior to Thriller and without looking, it has to be a Rod Temperton song. If it weren't for this album Qunicy had to work on for Donna Summer, I wonder if Temperton would've given this music to MJ.

Now that the bad seed has been removed. Let's keep the conversation going


I hope we get to hear the demo to Eaten Alive one day. Michael recorded it around May 1985

What happened here is that Diana Ross’s friend Michael Jackson listened to the demos, and decided that ‘Eaten Alive’ needed something else in it. Barry offered to share credit with Michael if he wanted to supply what was missing. Michael took away a cassette of the demo and sent a tape back a few days later. Maurice later described this new demo as Michael singing and playing keyboard with a drum machine. The second copyright registration, June 1, bears the note ‘words and music in the choruses have been completely rewritten’.
 
Honestly what songs do you guys wish were replaced and added into from the invincible era into invincible?

A full MJ demo of Eaten Alive would be brilliant. That song has so much life and energy as it is, I can only imagine what it'd be if Mike was on lead vocals. His voice was magic in the early Bad era

Honestly, I would've enjoyed the record more if Michael had stuck with the 97-99 material. Not that the final config doesn't have some solid tracks, though.

@threepea11 This topic could make a cool thread on its own, if there isn't one already. I usually stick to this one. lol.

On a similar note, what if Michael had released a record of Victory/Captain EO-era material instead of Bad ?

Dream Away, Liberian Girl, Buffalo Bill, Chicago 1945, Be Not Always, Another Part Of Me, etc.

Not saying it would be superior, but it's interesting to think about, imo.

That's what I hoped for.....an album in 1985/1986. The material was there and I believe we would've gotten it if it wasn't for that E.T. hiccup

Abortion Papers
Al Capone
I'm So Blue
Free
Do You Know Where Your Children Are
Another Part of Me
Dirty Diana
Liberian Girl
Buffalo Bill
Dream Away
Streetwalker

these are just a few songs that were complete between 1983 and 1986.
 
So apparently MJ recorded up to 8 tracks with production duo Tim & Bob for the Invincible album in Marvin's Room (John McClain's studio in LA). 3 of them with FULL MJ vocals!


The producer also mentions additional unreleased tracks worked for Invincible by Rodney Jerkins, Dallas Austin and others.

He also claims he wrote the beat (drums) for This Time Around for the HIStory album but didn't recieve any credits because he was smaller name in the industry than Dallas.
 
↑ And Tim also says he wouldn't mind handing over those songs to the estate. That's all amazing to hear. I knew GYWOOM couldn't be the only remaining song from the Invincible era, there had to be more songs out there that we didn't know about given the insane amount of collaborators MJ was working with at the time. I'll bet there's still more songs that we're yet to discover.

I was wondering why Invincible randomly cited Marvin's Room as a studio when the only confirmed track recorded there was "Hot Fun In The Summertime"

Well this is interesting. I've heard of Tim & Bob. I'm a fan of Donell Jones (R&B singer) and Tim & Bob did some nice production on his Journey of a Gemini album.

I was convinced there was practically nothing left from the Invincible sessions, so 3-4 completed tracks is great to hear!!
