I wouldn't doubt it....it was written somewhere around 78/79 so I'm sure Michael put a rough demo on tapeI read somewhere that there allegedly was a demo of Be Not Always

It's probably in the vault somewhereI wouldn't doubt it....it was written somewhere around 78/79 so I'm sure Michael put a rough demo on tape
also have to remember Michael was already working on another album before Thriller was released. His plan was OTW, Thriller, then his concept album that he spoke of in an interview during OTW. The album was going to be about poverty, kids and "old people" as he said.It's probably in the vault somewhere
That's what I thinkalso have to remember Michael was already working on another album before Thriller was released. His plan was OTW, Thriller, then his concept album that he spoke of in an interview during OTW. The album was going to be about poverty, kids and "old people" as he said.
Be Not Always, Little Susie, Life of Chico, What A Lonely Way and Much Too Soon were most likely going to be on there if the original 1984 release happened. I'm sure most of the stuff from the 70's is probably at Hayvenhurst
Which interview is this?also have to remember Michael was already working on another album before Thriller was released. His plan was OTW, Thriller, then his concept album that he spoke of in an interview during OTW. The album was going to be about poverty, kids and "old people" as he said.
Billboard 1/12/1980. Last paragraph in the middle of the page and right above his picture, he mentions the concept album he wanted to do after Thriller......the paragraph above that says he wants to release another album in 2 years and since this is from 1980, he was already planning Thrillers 1982 releaseWhich interview is this?

He says he was already getting ideas together for a year, which puts us in the late 1978 early 1979 years.....the songs I listed are around that time.Interesting
I want to hear these so badBe Not Always, Little Susie, Life of Chico, What A Lonely Way and Much Too Soon
Oh man, I never heard about this, I think a concept album would have done him a world of good, it would break him away from being just a “pop” star.He says he was already getting ideas together for a year, which puts us in the late 1978 early 1979 years.....the songs I listed are around that time.
Hopefully we'll hear them soonOh man, I never heard about this, I think a concept album would have done him a world of good, it would break him away from being just a “pop” star.
His list of unfinished projects is really big, such a shame.
Btw the titles sound like ballodsalso have to remember Michael was already working on another album before Thriller was released.

They areBtw the titles sound like ballods
I wonder what they sound likeThey are
Yeah definitelyLittle susie in his late 70s voice sure would be interesting
Yeah it kinda doesNymphette Lover would also fit the description for the concept album.
There could be truth to this. John Barnes has also stated that there was some misunderstanding and Michael actually believed that after E.T., his 3-record deal with Quincy would end.Michael copyrighted the potential songs in 1984…..could’ve been to prep for the album or he could’ve been organizing his material in general.
There was a lot going on at that time....Michael was also scheduled to deliver another album by April 1983 according to the letter CBS sent him in January that same year.There could be truth to this. John Barnes has also stated that there was some misunderstanding and Michael actually believed that after E.T., his 3-record deal with Quincy would end.
So, he started working with the B-team in the hopes of producing his own album, by himself, without Quincy, thus probably the album he mentioned in that newspaper article.
We can only dream! That 3 disc album would've been holy grail! His music from 1983-89 is what I really want to hearImagine a world where MJ released his mid 80's album and turned Bad into a 3-disc album... We really are living in the worst timeline lol.
ExactlyWe can only dream! That 3 disc album would've been holy grail! His music from 1983-89 is what I really want to hear
But the thing about that is that it wouldn’t have sold very well, because 3 vinyl albums were too expensive for a lot of people to buy. That’s why the record company didn’t go with that route. As nice as it would’ve been, it just wasn’t realistic at the time.Imagine a world where MJ released his mid 80's album and turned Bad into a 3-disc album...
