Resurrection Album Rumor Origin

oh good old times!!! how i miss it... i remember that the wannabe-official websites mijac.net (ran by a guy called Stefan) and mjstar.com often had half-true news about MJ.
good thing about that site was its download section. I remember the snippets of the thriller demos were in much higher quality than the full versions that were available at that time.

How was the quality like? I never heard the shit quality versions

all snippets were medium quality lossy real-audio files, but it was obvious that they were sourced from non-distorted and non-noisy material. To this day, most of those snippets have never leaked in their entirety in true cdq.





edit, to avoid misunderstandings:

Stefan, who ran mijac, wasn't the guy who had the Thriller tapes in his possesion. If memory serves correct, the snippets came from a french collector.

I wonder if that French collector has even more unheard unreleased Thriller songs in his collection.
