The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask, but I hope you guys won't get mad at me.

Does anyone have the article where Matt Forger describes his research for songs to be included on Bad 25 and the photo of the eBay listing of the box containing a whole bunch of cassettes with recordings from the Bad sessions, please?

Thanks!

@SeriousFX Is there a way how can I become an editor of the MJ Tracker? There are lots of smaller mistakes and miscategorizations on the unreleased tracks list which I could help fixing, as well as finishing the "Released" and "Tracklists" sheets.
 
Could we add these to the tracker if possible @SeriousFX?
sure!

Send a request to become editor and I'll accept you.
 
Did Michael recorded groove of midnight
Matt said in that MJ data bank interview that no version existed with Michael’s vocals…

Hypothetically, Michael could have done a quick demo of the song on cassette. But for what I gather from Matt, definitely no full multitrack recording exists of MJ’s version of GOM.

Or it truly does not exist at all… aside from audio of Michael singing bits of it between studio takes of another song as leaked.

It's likely MJ could've lost the multitrack tape like he did with the pre-overdub version of "Scared of the Moon" and "Throwin' Your Life Away"

All that is possible. But it’s not exactly confirmed if Michael made a proper recording of it to begin with.

If there’s definitely a cassette rough mix out there of the supposed multitrack version, that’s great. But without that we can’t say for sure if Michael actually recorded it.
 
Interesting thing I've never seen anyone mention this before, just found out. Usher's huge hit "U Don't Have To Call" was originally a writer's demo for MJ and was pitched to him shortly after Blood On The Dance Floor came out. Everyone knows that alot of Justin's hits were for MJ but never heard anyone talk about this! So cool

Siedah confirmed Michael’s version existed but I also believe he played around with the song but nothing was officially recorded, if that makes sense.

It seems like all of Rod's songs meant for MJ that didn't make it onto albums, ended up getting recycled by other artists.

How do we know if Rolling The Dice didn't get recorded by someone else?

Got The Hots was given to Siedah, but was also released under a different name, different lyrics.

Rod was smart to submit the songs to other artists. I do wonder if RTD was recorded by someone else under a different name
