The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Thank you
Both the verse and the chorus sound similar to The Price of Fame, don’t they? But the underlying groove makes this song

Is the TYLA source real? Some people are saying its fake, mostly due to the pronunciation of some words.
The seminar recordings are real. I dont know about the Snippets. Damien said they sound real.

Bill Bottrell on Tomboy:
(note: an instrumental was deposited at the USCO on Oct 28, 1985)

John Barnes and Matt Forger and I worked on that at Hayvenhurst.

Nov.8, Dec 2 - 5, 1985
The song was already started by Matt and John, probably EO sessions.

As far as tomboy, I didn't make it and was not fully completed. - John

Nice, but can we get more info? Was he there when Troutman was there? What does it sound like to him? Was it close to being completed?
 
Hopefully, I’ve got to experience this song in the highest quality possible someday.
I heard it once at a Brad seminar in a professional sound studio on big speakers in highest quality possible. It was so powerful!

Crazy how such song wasn't released during Michalels lifetime. Or even post 2009.
 
this is interesting, Bill Bottrell on his work at Hayvenhurst:

22[songs] with names, others just called "new song", "rap song" or "scream-o-blaster" and other titles made up in the moment of writing on the tape box.
There are a few other songs on his calendars I’d love to know more about: “A Way with Words,” “Choir Song,” “Trash Can Song,” etc.

Phenomenal—confirmation that the Copyright Office registrations aren’t the most updated versions of songs.

Bill said some time ago (I think it was last year) he's recorded two songs with Roger.
 
“A Way with Words,” “Choir Song,” “Trash Can Song,” etc.
Last two are work titles. First one could be a work title - but it's also possible awww being a random work title, too.

Interesting that Sunset Driver (as released on TUC & T40) was originally mixed in 1986 for a listening session with Q and Bruce, isn't it?
 
I seriously can't wait for songs like Bad Girl, Choir Song (I suspect that this song is just Changes but still), and A Way With Words to see the light of day, the next reissue of Bad has the potential to be more interesting - if not way better than Bad 25. From titles we know of there's enough for at least 2 more reissues.

But what interests me the most is that all of those new titles comes from the year 1986 only, we're still missing the sessions from 1983, 1984, 1985, and 1987. I wonder if there are more unheard titles hidden between those dates.

Changes never had a choir until September 1995, when it was brought out from the vault.
