I am wondering if Quincy Jones or Bruce Swedien could shine some light on Behind The Mask and Much Too Soon, considering they were recorded around the time of the Thriller album.
"Behind The Mask" was a strong contender for the album THRILLER, however it had to be dropped due to legal reasons over the music.
- Behind The Mask (1979-1981) (Chris Mosdell, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Michael Jackson)
Michael Jackson
Original Instrumental Version by Yellow Magic Orchestra released in 1979 on their
album SOLID STATE SURVIVOR which drew Quincy Jones' attention. Michael recorded
his own version for the album THRILLER (1982), adding some extra lyrics and harmonies.
Due to legal battles concerning the song's credits Michael couldn't release it.
