Idk why but I thought two of the vids were Threatened, mb. Ik about the Unbreakable dispute, same thing happened with BoD
U literally caught that error right when it happened lmaooo. Im watching the full deposition rn and there's quite a bit of stuff regarding unreleased demos nobody caught, I guess I'm one of the only people who actually has sat through it.
What's the time frames in the deposition for these? I've not heard of a Stevie submission in 1984 but I know he submitted something for Thriller and I know WATW was written in December 84
The "Unbreakable DAT Version" is just a fan edit with restored dynamic range. It's not real.
Are you saying there’s another new version of the deposition? Or the one @Stefano MJS released in January? If not I can assure you that many people have watched the currently available deposition tapes
It’s not well known that Stranger was written/demoed in Sept. 1993? How is Starlight being from 1981/2 new info?
The Girl is Mine 1981 work tape has been widely available for years, no?
I’m on the tracker wayyyy too much lol. Ive wanted to be an editor for a while but tbh atp there wouldn’t be much that I’d want to add anymore besides the WAHTCTW leaks (Ive been asking for a year now for that to be added)
The disposition is hours long, not many people have sat down and watched it all in its entirety
Trust me, anyone who is actually interested in MJ's unreleased material has probably watched the one and only resource where he talks about unreleased material - it's been our primary resource on the topic for more than a decade
Temperton would present all his demos with a scratch vocal, this is not a new discovery
Quincy Jones asked Stevie to write a song in 1984, but he was taking too long so QJ asked Michael and Lionel instead - resulting in WATW. I assume this is what @Clay7 is referring to, but in this case it sounds as though Stevie didn't end up writing anything
I've always wondered what stage the songs mentioned during the deposition were at. Were they just written lyrics? Instrumentals? Demos with scratch vocals?
& Free, Scared of the Moon, Starlight, Streetwalker, Neverland Landing etc...
I bet, most of them have vocals
I’d say that most, if not all of them exist in demo form, even if only as an instrumental. As we know, Michael was far more likely to lay down a scratch vocal prior to 1993 vs after.
This is incomplete
I’m sure people have watched it all the way through but nobody has discussed the materials actually discussed that I listed, and they were absent from the tracker which is quite rare for public information. MJ said that he asked Stevie for the track not Quincy but he might have been inaccurate. There was never any actual 100% confirmed Starlight demo recorded by temperton until now, only assumptions. It’s not clear how lyrically complete his version was only that it’s his vocals over a demo beat.
Videos private unfortunately so I can’t help u out
it was never confirmed that there is a work tape specifically from sep 93. Starlight being from 81/82 isn’t some kind of revelation idk wym on that I was just listing the year same as the others lol. And the girl is mine demo is advanced im not referring to the work tape. It sounds different from the released demo from 08.
Really? Never seen the stuff I mentioned posted here, especially the girl is mine and we are the world (I think this may be the same one from the greatest night in pop doc) demos that were played lol. There’s more stuff too I just haven’t finished watching it yet
He said some of them are in demo form but I'm curious about the songs we tend to gloss over like She's Not A Girl, Who Is The Girl With Her Hair Down, Lonely Man, You Are A Liar, In The Valley, Why Shy, Saved By The Bell, The Sky Is The Limit. We don't know anything about these outside of the title
There was a song called "California Grass"...
I mentioned WATW being recorded in 1984 but it was in connection to TMO. John Barnes confirmed TMO and WATW were both done in 1984 around the time of the Caribou Ranch visit
@Clay7 - this is a post I made at the beginning of January detailing everything new in the extended version of the Deposition released by @Stefano MJS
So that have been in September 1984?
Yup roughly between September-October
it was uploaded by Znop's 2nd channel dominik
Didn't @arisenow say that all the depo songs had some sort of vocals?
TMO being 1984 and not 1986 feels weird/wrong
The initial start of the song is 84 but the vocals we have might be 86. John’s estate probably has the 84 vocals
