Thriller 40th Anniversary

According to something I just read, Quincy Jones' disagreement with the Estate prevent those tracks from being used.

But isn't "She's Trouble" coming from the same group of songs including HS and NL?

I simply think Hot Street and Niteline will be kept for future projects. T50 and another new album.

I got Qobuz 16 bit and 24 bit versions. Compared Wanna Be Starin' Somethin' and Baby Be Mine. It uses the 2008 mastering. Which is not a good one... (correction: waveforms seems slightly better in Thriller 40 than 2008, but sound very similar to me.)

It's 2014 remaster, not 2008
 
why is this John Pranka 24/7 posing in front of a thriller poster?
does he think he's the mastermind behind this?

I think that is a bit disrespectful towards The King of Pop, John Branca.

Especially considering he sung everything and wrote half the tracks on Thriller plus performed the moonwalk for the very first time at Motown25 during this period.

His vision for the Thriller video also cemented his place as a Pop Icon.
 
I came to the conclusion that all these anniversaries and special editions devalue the original 1982 product. Most of the added tracks don’t belong there because they are unfinished. There was a core of 5 or 6 (hotstreet, nite line, she’s trouble, carousel, got the hots) extra completed tracks that were in contention for the album in 1982. Those are basically all that was needed on disc 2 plus the extended versions of the already existing tracks on disc 1.

demos don’t belong on a sonically and musically perfect classic albums because they are incomplete. They belong in boxsets.

Thanks, I had already read you mentionned that on this forum... but when I listened to it, without comparing the wave forms, I head the same thing between 2008 and 2014. (Also, I'm talking about the Qobuz version precisely and I know that sometimes they can switch files/masters...)

Any idea about the Apple Music master? (the one mixed in Dolby Atmos) obligatory @NeoGardiV8 tag as well

It's not really odd. Reading a lot of negative comments can drag down the mood. I think this thread is a good idea. It's not like we can only create 10 threads a day, and we have to carefully choose the topics for them.

I will defend MJ('s Thriller) tooth and nail when someone outside the fanbase criticize it without knowing what they're speaking about. But within the fan base we must be more demanding as far as professionalism is concerned towards the Estate. We must be able to criticize half-baked projects. It's not about dragging down the mood. It's about saying "All right, you released this and that, good, but some relevant things remain unreleased. Where are they? Scheduled for Thriller 50 to milk us more?"

In his mind, Michael Jackson is Milli Vanilli, and he is the KING.
