The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Bill Bottrell:

I can only speak of the songs I co-wrote and produced.

If You Don't Love Me

Basically finished but M. bumped it down the list before we ever committed to a final mix. - But it sounds pretty right to me.

Monkey Business

All parts are on there. (too many?) Never had a final mix and the released version does not have my blessing!! (rude estate)

There is a mix I'd love to hear that the estate has that they never listened to when they released.

That's the mix I'd be good with.

wait until he finds out the estate didn't release Monkey Business
 
Bill Bottrell on Planet Earth (aka Earth Song):

It was to be the intro. MJ thought he might need it for a long-form or any other use. Like live shows.
It started with an orchestra written by George Del Barrio.
Then during History, MJ took out the orch and just did the poem.

I'd love to hear the orchestra then.

MJ had me working on Brian's Serious Effect. Looking at my journals apparently I spent much time on it.
Was it ever released?

It's actually wild he doesn't know if his own material was ever released.
 
It would be interesting to hear from Bill why "If you don't love me" mix sounds so different from the sessions leak to the mastered version that was supposed to come out with the Dangerous Special Edition in 2001.

Is he saying MJ recorded the poem we have during the HIStory sessions and not the Dangerous ones?
 
Yes but if you look at the Bill Bottrell quote above he says: "Then during History, MJ took out the orch and just did the poem."
So does that mean MJ re-recorded the poem?
 
↑↑↑ This is what the artists who made music for MJ (songs of which he never got the opportunity to record) should do, or at least give them away for other vocalists to record. Like I said pages ago; some of those writer's demos have potential, they're great to listen to. It's a waste that they're forced to be obscured indefinitely. I wish Ne-Yo would go ahead and release the songs he made for Michael as well.

I agree, though I highly prefer prudence with the people they choose. I don’t wanna hear Chris Brown, for example, singing any of those songs.
