I read somewhere that Michael took tapes (slave reels) to work on at Hayvenhurst behind Quincy's back during the main Bad sessions... Quincy soon caught wind of that, and that was basically the end of the B team.
There was a lot of tension between those sessions. My thought is Quincy wanted sole producer credit which is why he or Michael, sent Brad to retrieve tapes Michael worked on at home. Quincy purposely found ways to tweak the songs to get his credit while reducing Michael’s contributions to co-producer
Hayvenhurst team basically made the Bad album, no discussion. Except for JGF and MITM but that's it. Quincy wanted to take all the credit for himself. The people that should have gotten their deserved credit as the ACTUAL producers of the album were the Hayvenhurst team (John Barnes, Bill Bottrell and Matt Forger).
Exactly. Barnes already said they were at Hayvenhurst recording actual songs, not demos to turn in. A shame a lot of this is being realized after so many years
IJCSLY also, right? Or was it done already and Quincy's contribution was bringing Siedah in for the duet?
Funnily enough, the Just Good Friends demo was allegedly MADE at Hayvenhurst. If that is true, then Man In The Mirror is the only track where Quincy deserves more than 50% credit.
It was done already during the early Bad sessions in July '86 as per Bill Bottrell's calendars
Absolutely. It seems to be more the case Quincy viewed Bill Bottrell and John Barnes as interlopers (at least on a producer level) and not a member of his trusted team, from what I remember reading... He was like, "either they go or I go".
Did John ever mention working on Chicago 1945?
Just Good Friends came in later, as did MITM. They are the only two songs on BAD not to be written by Michael...
He never mentioned C45. The songs he spoke about off the top of my head are Liberian Girl, APOM, Make or Break, Al Capone, Tomboy, WATW, Buffalo Bill, Alright Now

WHAT THE HELL!?Omg Loren found these it claims they are showing snippets or did i make a mistake?Unreleased Michael Jackson Tapes Discovered in Abandoned Storage Unit (Exclusive)
How one Ventura County stay-at-home dad came into possession of material recorded between 1989 and 1991 by the King of Pop.
It says they are all finished, but the Estate sent them a letter refusing to purchase it and preventing them from ever being leaked to the public.WHAT THE HELL!?
I can immediately tell that the tags are a bit misleading because there are songs that we know for sure aren’t finished (“Seven Digits”) labeled as “complete.” Still, this is fascinating.
It’s also amazing to get confirmation that (a) “A Pretty Face Is” WAS recorded, and (b) it was worked on with Loren.
why did they refuse to buy them. They should be buying anything with michaels voice on it.
Others songs that are on the tapes but aren't mencioned on this document:WHAT THE HELL!?
