That's correct, yet it would be great to know what songs exactly made it to Westlake.

There's the 11 that made it in, Streetwalker, Groove Of Midnight, and according to Bruce Najar's book, Quincy actually started work on a Westlake version of Chicago 1945 that got abandoned not long after it got started.

Bill, Matt, and John also showed off Don't Be Messin' 'Round, the Pepsi version of Price Of Fame, and Crack Kills at Westlake.

can you please see the dm I sent you
 
MJ played a couple songs to Rod Temperton in 2008. Best of Joy for example. Do we know if these alternate lyrics were written by / with Rod Temperton? Maybe thats the reason why they choose to not include those in the 2010 version?!

I'm pretty sure they were not by Rod. But the vocal quality of these alternate lyrics were significantly different to the overall recording.

Where did Brice Najar get that from for his book?? About Quincy doing a version of Chicago 1945?
I thought that was purely a Steve Porcaro & MJ collaboration that was at least vocally finished.

Don’t Be Messin’ ‘Round was worked on very early during Westlake by Bruce Swedien and Quincy… Hence he mentioned that track upon Michael’s passing in 2009. But obviously it didn’t develop far.

Rod was coming up with a new chorus, using MJ’s as a pre-chorus. No clue how far it got, but MJ never recorded it.

Not sure but I remember Michael Prince saying Rod had a CD of the song that he put it in his computer, made a splice between the first chorus and the 2nd verse and was experimenting with a new chorus, using MJ chorus as a pre-chorus

What’s the source on that, interview, seminar or other?
 
Can someone ask @SeriousFX if he blocked me or something for some reason? I sent him a DM days ago and he hasn’t responded and idk if he blocked me for some reason
