I'm wondering why HIStory, which sold about as many copies as Off the Wall, isn't getting a 30th anniversary edition, while Off the Wall received a special edition in 2016, which is actually almost its 37th anniversary. Not only are the sales figures similar, but both albums also had two big hits.

I think OTW is currently listed in the MoFi Best Sellers section so I take your point. I don't know what the MoFi criteria is for picking an album to work on. I vaguely assumed they were going for 'classic' albums but maybe it's more wide-ranging than that. :unsure:
 
Hoping I will be able to pick this Dangerous release up before it is sold out lol.

Edit: Off The Wall one is still available so should be good.
 
An estate that prefers to release fake songs rather than genuine, unreleased songs is beyond help. They simply lack a basic understanding of how important the fans were to Michael and how important Michael still is to the fans. Michael said in an interview with Barbara Walters that he felt the need to create something and wanted to get it out there. The estate is doing the opposite.
 
Everybody wanting a piece of Michael Jacksons Estate
Fans stalking the moves of Michael Jacksons Estate
Just when you thought the Estate was done
then Johnny B. does worse shit again

Over in David-Bowie-world the V&A in London is getting ready to unveil its next DB project ...

www.theguardian.com

V&A announces details for David Bowie Centre

Chic’s bandleader and the Last Dinner Party are among the curators selecting from the 90,000+ items in the late star’s archive to go on display when the new London venue opens in September
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

"From the Thierry Mugler suit he got married in to his costumes from the Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane era, David Bowie’s most iconic looks will be available for fans to see up close as the V&A museum opens its David Bowie Centre on 13 September.

Part of the V&A’s wider archival project, the V&A East Storehouse, the Bowie archive comprises more than 90,000 items – which won’t all be on display at once. Instead, in details revealed today, visitors will be able to order up items to look at closely, while V&A archivists and star curators will make selections to go on display in a series of rotating showcases. Tickets will be free.

Nile Rodgers, the Chic bandleader and guitarist who worked with Bowie on the hit album Let’s Dance, has curated one of these areas, with items including correspondence between the two, studio images taken by Peter Gabriel during the making of Bowie’s Rodgers-assisted 1993 album Black Tie White Noise, and a bespoke suit designed by Peter Hall for the Serious Moonlight tour.

“My creative life with David Bowie provided the greatest success of his incredible career, but our friendship was just as rewarding,” Rodgers said, announcing the partnership. “Our bond was built on a love of the music that had both made and saved our lives.”

******************************

Rodgers and the band’s choices will be included in an area featuring items that are rotated every six months or so, with fresh guest curators each time.

******************************

These will include a look at Bowie’s unrealised projects, such as film tie-ins with the Diamond Dogs and Young Americans albums, and even a mooted adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984. Other areas will spotlight iconic moments such as his 1987 Glass Spider tour, his collaborations with bassist Gail Ann Dorsey and the creation of the Ziggy Stardust persona.

There will also be an interactive installation tracing Bowie’s impact on pop cultural figures from Issey Miyake to Lady Gaga, and a film compiling live performances across his career.

What will really provoke Bowie fans’ fascination, though, is seeing objects up close, “including costumes, musical instruments, models, props and scenery” according to the V&A. Visitors will be able to book to see five items each visit, with two weeks’ notice, using the V&A’s “order an object” service. Bookings will begin in September.

More than 70,000 of the archive items are photographic prints, negatives and transparencies, and these, along with other paper-based items – “notebooks, diaries, lyrics, scripts, correspondence, project files, writings, unrealised projects, cover artwork, designs, concept drawings, fanmail and art” – will also be available to view by special appointment.

The V&A first acquired Bowie’s archive in 2023, with director Tristram Hunt promising the David Bowie Centre would be a “new sourcebook for the Bowies of tomorrow ..."

HIStory also achieved the same sales figures as Off the Wall in a much shorter time, and as a double album, it sold twice as many discs. The Estate greatly underestimates HIStory's influence.
 
We know the Estate's role in playing it safe by only investing in big albums like Thriller and Bad. Is this perhaps the result of the risk they took with the Cashio songs that didn't pay off? Do we fans have to pay the price for these fraudsters?
 
As is known, we get new history release of mofi one step so patience people

It's relative. The print run for OTW was 6000 copies. I don't know if they sold them all or not. Let's see what happens with Dangerous.

Poor Brand Management?

Maybe this is the problem. I don't need them to "take the Michael Jackson brand to the next level.” wtf.

Nothing needs to be done. MJ's catalogue speaks for itself. We certainly don't need any more $200 t-shirts, or plastic toys that cost more than my car. These sort of stunts just cheapen his legacy. The estate needs to stay away from that shit, it's embarrassing.

Ngl, I was shocked when I first saw this story. Perhaps I shouldn't have been, maybe I'm just naive. But it's just so gross.

There's already two threads on this! The details laid out in the article posted by @CherubimII make for grim reading.

I'm still thinking about this. It never ceases to amaze me how well his kids cope with all the crap that happens. Couple of weeks ago I was watching a little interview that Paris did. She's got her wedding coming up, she's currently on tour supporting Manchester Orchestra, she answers questions with good humour, she's making jokes. This legal action she's taking must have already been in the works but she's getting on with her life.

The boys do really well, also. They just get on with doing their thing with grace and patience. I do admire the way Michael's kids carry themselves.

Yes, me too ... Some people think they have a spoiled and easy life because they are rich and have the Jackson name. I am too realistic to NOT see that this does not necessarily mean a better life. I think, as MJ fans, we all can relate.

Paris seems to have a beautiful, free, and creative spirit. She also seems highly sensitive AND stubborn (which can be useful) like her Dad 🥹Hopefully, she has a well established support / safety net.
