The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Is there a version of Do You Know Where Your Children Are from Michael with the vocals from the Original Version of Xscape?
 

I wish his unreleased vocals at 2:40 made it on the track because it makes the song 10x better
Totally agree. Missed opportunity. They must have been really pressed with the time available on the record. Hence why it was all sped up to being with. A reissue with these vocals that isn't sped up would be nice.
 
All Jacksons & MJ solo albums deserve an uncut release. Wouldn't cost them (Sony/Estate) much time and money if released digital only.

Billie Jean's early fade out is a good example of what kind of gem had to be cut out.
Does the estate have control of the Jackson’s releases?
 
Have to go through my files but I believe Keep the Faith, Will You Be There and Remember the Time weren't on there but I'm not 100
That would be appreciated. would love to duplicate the original album
 
I was listening to Ghost Of Another Lover this morning and it blew my mind that song leaked 7 years, feels like just yesterday

I wonder what will be the next thing to leak will be?
I'm up for any new MJ personally, but a part of me hopes it's something unexpected and not as well known. I believe there's at least a handful of unheard gems still around.
 
im hoping for something worked on with another artist, its been ages since the last "duet" of sorts leaked/released.
 
Did we ever get confirmation on who created that mix? I recall discussion around it being John McClain but don't know if it was ever actually confirmed or just assumptions.

Either John McClain or Tricky Stewart.

Not that I know. I think it was all assumptions.

We just know that Steve Lukather did guitar overdubs on an unreleased track that didn't make the Michael album. But was track DYKWYCA? That we don't know for sure, too.

Bill Bottrell was working with the estate around that time. Would he know who's involved with DYKWYCA?
 
Man, I remember when Do You Know.. leaked - didn't have shotgun sounds and movie quotes?

What a banger. Still holds up - probably one of the best posthumous productions they've ever made. Timbaland completely butchered it.
I don't particularly like it anymore but that's just me.
 
I said the original vocals. From the original Version.
I'd say this terminology isn't quite right. The 2010 remix has a different vocal take indeed, but that's all. Nonetheless, to answer your question: no.

Bad Era take I guess? Except they're probably both from the Bad Era. I just like the ad libs of the version on Xscape Deluxe Edition.
