The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

I know its a habit, but I wish fans would stop calling Quincy and co the "A Team" when most of the work was already done. If anything, they probably made the songs inferior, as was the case with "Another part of me"

I do agree, but didn't they call it that themselves too..?

According to my ears which have heard the version from the multitrack:

That version which I heard was literally just the version on The Ultimate Collection but without the fade out, and again that part after the fade out was just instrumental.

This may be a typical case of Brad Buxer misremembering or mixing things up, I remember him saying at one point that In The Back was from 2004, which we know definitely wasn't. But of course, we should cut him some slack given how many years its been since he worked on all this stuff of course his mind won't be the sharpest in this regard, hell who even remembers what they ate last week at a specific time?

I interpreted the "from 2004" comment as referring to overdubs being recorded for older tracks. Same with "Beautiful Girl" and "The Way You Love Me".

John Barnes on a podcast said he hated the term. It seems to be a Quincy originated term to demean the Encino team of Barnes and co

I feel like the B-Team name doesn’t necessarily imply it’s inferior to the A-Team.

No one has ever used the B-Team to denote something other than inferiority lol.

No? If you look at the purpose each team had in the album’s creation, the names actually make sense. Most demos originated and were recorded with the B-Team, A-Team put final touches on them.
 
Guys have you noticed most of Michael’s music vids thumbnails changed on YouTube? Why? They also look quite high quality

I mean, the Xscape original version was completed after the release of Invincible, in 2002.

Was it, really? The song was under consideration for the album at the time of the 30th anniversary concert and one of the engineers who worked on it was surprised when it didn't make the cut, so I'm pretty sure enough of it was completed for the song to be released. A different mix of it was just made in 2002, if anything.

bruh Work That Body is a banger song but She Got It sounds really unfinished. plus i heard michael didn't even like To Satisfy You (although i love that song but still). Teddy Riley's productions imo are much more hard-hitting and modern for 1991. actually i can even imagine the sounds of Dangerous being made today. like for example Finesse by Bruno Mars (2016) sounds a LOT like remember the time, proof that the sound of Dangerous continues to weave its way into new generations. Bryan Loren on the other hand has productions that have aged with time, especially for songs like Work That Body. to me that song could've ONLY been made in 1990. 😭 plusit sounds hella similar to Do the Bartman, which Michael and Loren worked on together. a lot of them do actually

'Superfly Sister' is also by Loren right? That's a nice tune! And to be honest I don't see a problem with 'Work That Body' sounding like 'Do The Bartman' since that was a cool track too. The succes of 'Do The Bartman' did make me interpret everything else Loren did as more goofy/comic instead of funky, wich is too bad imo..
 
Did people here ever ask/interview musicians or producers involved about the unreleased stuff, or like e-mail them?

People like J.R. Robinson, Teddy Riley, Paul Anka, Rodney Jerkins, Will I Am, Buz Kohen, Greg Philingaines, Carole Bayer Sager, Thom Russo, Quincy etc. etc. etc. are still alive, and might not let you hear anything, but they probably do know a lot about the completion of stuff

Idk why the quote didn’t post but it was another song where the demos instrumental massively change like Someone Put Your Hand Out and PYT!!!

TGIM didn't change that much outside of production...lyrically it's still the same with an added talking segment

PYT and SPYHO both started as something different lyrically before being revamped altogether.
