The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Something to note, we know that Quincys cant be released (for now) cus of well, y'know, and its been like that for years. But something to note is that people say PoF was produced by Quincy, but if it really was, then how was it released? ig that helps the evidence that the version released isn't produced by Quincy, not to mention that the track was still sent to Quincy as per Bottrell's notes
Not sure why people think that but POF is produced by Michael but also note that if it were to be officially selected by Q for the album, it would've sounded a little different than what we hear now as Q would've probably tweaked the production.

Also, it probably went to Westlake because it was scheduled to be released for the Pepsi campaign and they were going to do work on it.

POF definitely evolved into Who Is It.
 
Crack Kills was fully recorded by Michael in early November 1986, although it seems that there are no vocals from Run-DMC. Its unknown if the track itself was fully completed

Colorblind and Craze seem to be 2000s tracks
To expand on this, MP said during a Zoom seminar that there are two unrelated songs called “Colorblind,” one of which was done during the Invincible sessions. No clue beyond that though.

Some people say that the Pepsi version is the Quincy version, but no confirmation. @Beano Wild's recent mix highlights the elements added, although the volume levels vary

I’ve always wanted to hear this the title intrigues me. If I were to guess the song has anti racism themes which I would love to hear from MJ hopefully it has vocals.
 
God I would love a finished/further worked version of Price Of Fame, that demo is so special.

I wouldn't mind if POF was re-released to coincide with the Biopic, the song deserves a spotlight
I find it so interesting they threw away POF for Bad 25 but not TYLA (which I think is far inferior and less complete)
 
The instrumental doesn‘t exist on multi-tracks. MJ was sent the instrumental as simple 2-track audio and simply overdubbed his vocals on top. You would probably have to track the multi-tracks down heavily, if they even still exist.
I would really like to know what's your source for the instrumental not existing on the multitracks.

I think they were thinking of TYL, when Neff-U could not locate the multitracks so he added strings and stuff to a stereo mix around 2008.

But none of this mentioned on Damien’s blog post on Chicago: https://www.damienshields.com/she-was-loving-me/

MJ and Cory Rooney spent a full month working together on that track before other songs took priority. And never finished it.
