The low quality leaked demo of the completed version is 100 times better than the high quality unfinished take that has been leaked. Cannot wait to hear it!
We'll get them in 10 years.
I hope they share different vocal take version
i think its to separate it from greg and eric clapton, along with it being slightly rough.
Still, Behind The Mask (1981 Demo) would have been enough, in my opinion. All of the other versions were done after 82’.
That’s fair. I like the idea of (Mike’s Mix), or even (Mike’s Demo). It’s more eye catching than just (Demo). But both of them together feels clunky.
I doubt it. I’m not sure there is a home demo of Behind The Mask because, in this case, Michael didn’t compose the music.
The facebook post mentions that he played it at his home studio for Greg and Quincy. Sounds like it's his demo to me.
Yes, the meeting took place at his home studio but it‘s very unlikely that the demos played at that meeting were home demos. Michael mentions during his 93’ deposition that the The Girl Is Mine demo was recorded “at a studio in the Valley” before the meeting with Q, Rod and Greg took place.
That's what has thrown me a little bit too, the fact that it's the one Mike played to them. That would make me think it's similar to the Beat It one we have already. Maybe their wording has just confused things.
I have an hq version of hot street
Quite a few of the thriller demos have leaked in lossless quality yeah.
See, I always thought the same thing. But apparently in Sonic Fantasy, Greg Phillinganes says that he first heard “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” and “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” on the same day, which was the listening party mentioned in the estate’s post. I know that goes against everything that’s always been said, but it’s certainly an interesting tidbit.
