But wasn't it good for casual fans too-because they also offered a set of the reissued album and demos only-and they also offered Wembley totally separate.
A lot of people already had the original album, especially since 2009 and demos and unfinished material is not something that is interesting outside hardcore fan base which is small percentage of all fan base. I think the concept of Bad 25 was missed opportunity to introduce some of those incredible outtakes to the world. Just putting unfinished material on CD 2 won't make the product more interesting to casual fans and especially to the wider audience and the sale numbers proved that. At least one song (if not more or all of them) should have been finished and sent to radio stations. There's not radio station in the world that would play Don't Be Messin' Around and I'm So Blue in the state they were sent to radio stations in some parts of the world, not even in China or South Korea and especially in US, UK or Europe. If Timbaland did wonders with Loving You, just imagine what he could have done with I'm So Blue and how it would sound. Ideal thing would be if they approached Quincy Jones with those 6 songs to finish them and if he accepted. He would of course said no for whatever reason. And then they should have approached some other producer, preferably just one producer so that all 6 songs have the same cohesive sound. And then release CD 1 with 3 previously released outtakes from Special Edition and CD 2 with 6 new songs and 6 demos of those same songs + French version of IJCSLY. That would be perfect in my opinion.
Live CD should have been released as separate 2 discs project with full concert. No VHS and no remixes on the main CDs. If they had any show in DVD or higher quality with multitracks, then release that show instead, for example Japan Tour 1987. Remixes could have been released on Promo Pepsi CD with Pepsi cans and as digital promo singles.
