The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

It's very real, but very repetitive. It's about the three fake songs on the Michael album. It's about 8 episodes long but could've been condensed into 3/4.

To be honest, it's so repetitive that by the end I was just annoyed and wanted it to end, which is a shame because it's so informative (initially).

It could have easily been a 90 minute thing.

Because there was a timeline discrepancy made with an era that was added (the "Forever Michael" era), since the album proper came out in January 1975 and finished recording the month before while the James Whitney songs were likely recorded later in 1975 and possibly 1976.

Damien Shields made the classic mistake of settling on the form first and then trying to have the content fit the form, instead of the other way around.

He had content for a 90-minute Youtube video. That should have been it. But he wanted a "true-crime" podcast format in the hope the info and scandal would break through into the mainstream, like some podcasts do.

Again, timeline discrepancy issues plus concerns another editor brought up about the formatting being messed-up. I'll port over any changes you've made onto the document. Sorry about that!

What exactly is the source of this supposed early mix?

Always wanted to know more about this. That one guy who claimed to work on History said it was from the Bad era think his name was Ryan was that guy just making up bs? Dont feel like digging through his posts again rn lol. This version is certainly from 1993-1995 since it samples his 93 interview with Oprah.

Yeah it jumps all over the place, I wanted to go through and make a version that actually goes in order, but too much effort

Rob Hoffman's interview puts the timeframe for TJ as December 1994 thru March 1995, so definitely from later in December or early in January

Also around 1975, wasn't there an album or some songs worked on with Bobby Taylor?

They worked on demos with Bobby Taylor in 1975 yes. I don't believe it was for an actual album project. It was more to test the waters on different sounds and directions to take the group after they left Motown.
