Some fans consider this year's reissue of Off the Wall (packaged with the Spike Lee documentary, Journey from Motown to Off the Wall) to be a flop. If you want me to be completely honest, I actually did not mind the release that much. I still really want Dangerous 25 more, but it was a decent release. You had the original album, you had a Blu-ray or DVD of the documentary (I have both versions), you have some pretty cool packaging and you have a piece of chalk to draw in the case and erase it. It really is a fun, decent release. But as a hardcore MJ fan, it's not something on my wishlist for future projects.
Today I am here to ask you - if you had the chance to create the Off the Wall reissue from scratch, what would you have done differently? What added material would you add?
This is what I would have done:
DISC ONE (Off the Wall):
1. Don't Stop Til You Get Enough
2. Rock with You
3. Working Day and Night
4. Get on the Floor
5. Off the Wall
6. Girlfriend
7. She's Out of My Life
8. I Can't Help It
9. It's the Falling in Love
10. Burn This Disco Out
DISC TWO (Bonus Material):
1. Sunset Driver
2. Ease on Down the Road (from The Wiz) (with Diana Ross)
3. You Can't Win (from The Wiz)
4. Don't Stop Til You Get Enough (original demo version)
5. Rock with You (original demo version)
6. Working Day and Night (original demo version)
7. Off the Wall (original demo version)
8. She's Out of My Life (original demo version)
9. I Can't Help It (original demo version)
10. Rock with You (extended mix)
DISC THREE (Blu-ray / DVD):
Anyway, that's it.
What would you have done differently with this release? What added material would you include? Or do you like the reissue the way it is?
Leave your thoughts. Thank you
