The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

JohnC said:
The Off The Wall sessions are such low-hanging fruit for the Estate. They could put together a very decent boxset of just those ten songs with the basic trackings, uncut mixes, extended versions and alternate takes.

I did a full remix of the album (excluding ICHI album version) for my podcast some years ago and made mixdowns with this concept in mind. I just can't find the mastered versions in my archive at the moment.

Bit of a lurker on here, but I've been catching up on this thread after not being on for some time, so I'm a little late. Anyways, I'm very interested and would love to hear these mixes if you're able to find them and share! ❤

Yes. I remember Greg coming to Soundcastle around the Victory era recording this song.
I can't tell if we finished it to this extent or not.
Because on YouTube they credit Richard Perry as producer. And I know RP was not at our session.
(pls don't ask for exact dates)

It still blows my mind how productive and prolific Mike was during the Victory/Bad era. Not only was he writing and producing full quality demos but he was singing them full out too.
He really had a point to prove

Early Victory era we know little about. Abortion Papers recorded at Can Am with Brian Malouf was completely unknown to the "B-Team" staff; only God knows what else was recorded (with full vocals), shelved and never revisited again.
 
A question about the Wil I Am- tracks: I always liked the stuff we hear playing during the studio interview. Now iirc Will I Am used some beats for other artists later on..? A female singer..? Does anyone recall more..?

Fly Girl on his own 2007 album is the main beat he played during that studio interview.

The supposedly "Still The King" beat was used by another artist yes. I don't recall the name of the song but it exists.
(I personally believe the beat was actually "The Future" song. It has this modern Latin tempo that was described)

You have to remember.
 
How many vocal takes do we expect there to be for Invincible tracks actually? How many for the title track let's say? When was it recorded by the way?
 
I don't think we ever had a confirmation for the title The Future though? Will only mentioned Still the King, Dreaming and I Will Miss You.
 
Considering he did that with several songs during History sessions, I wonder if there's an earlier recordings of Changes if more (or even full) vocals dusting in the vault. Cause that choir recording on the leaked snippet is very specific. I doubt Michael would have recorded it without having an entirely finished song in his head.
