First release year for each 34 Thriller 40 tracks?

[Maxym]

For discographic precision (or obsession) purpose, I would like to know/check, the first release year of each of the 34 Thriller 40 Tracks.

(I will correct the table if I get more accurate info.)

Thriller album

All 9 tracks

1982

CD2

Title	Comment	Initial official release	Year
Starlight (demo?)	(Due to some singing parts, I'm very tempted to say it's a demo...)	Thriller 40	2022
Got the hots (demo)		Some editions of Thriller 25	2008
Who Do You Know (demo)		Thriller 40	2022
Carousel (option a : actually the old demo?)	As I mentionned in another thread ( Thriller 40 Disc 2 - POSITIVE ONLY Thread ), I think that this is the old school demo "tape sound" from before it was remastered ... which I'd consider an unreleased version.	Thriller 40	2022?
Carousel (option b: poor mastering?)	Or if you want to consider that it's the same as on King Of Pop then:		2008?
Carousel (option c : longer but not totally really fully complete?)	There was the short version on Thriller Special Edition in 2001 but that's not what I meant when I said first release, it's not the same version.	Thriller 2001	2001
Behind The Mask (Mike's demo)		Thriller 40	2022
Can't Get Outta The Rain	Similar comment as for Carousel, but it's the sound of the early vinyl releases before 2000s remastering	The Girl Is Mine 7''	1982
The toy (demo)		Thriller 40	2022
Sunset Driver (demo)		The Ultimate Collection	2004
What A Lovely Way To Go (demo)		Thriller 40	2022
She's Trouble (demo)		Thriller 40	2022

Thanks so I agrees with the last 2,
but carousel considering my comment, I'd still say it's an unreleased version, or flavour ... but that's going to be subjective.

A shorter version of Carousel was released in 2001 for the Thriller-Special Edition release

Corrected: Can't Get Outta The Rain actually first appeared on The Girl Is Mine 7" (released in October 1982), not Billie Jean 7" (which was real was release later in 1982).
