I came across a different version with more MJ vocals on YouTube a few days, there is also an extended version both are very cool.
I know... the 2015 version has more of michaels vocals, but still it is not solo :) And we know it exists..
 
Chicago 1945 is defo a gem by those who have heard it. I’d be surprised if it ends up on Thriller40 as it sounds like a track that could be a lead single.

considering queen's released "Face it Alone" for an album coming on the same day, id say the estate needs to come back with something big like Chicago 1945.

the Queen-album comes out the same day as Thriller 40, it isn`t out yet
 
Nope, a deluxe expanded edition of the 1989 album "The Miracle" contaning 5 discs (4 CDs and a DVD/BD).
6 all-new, unheard demos/outtakes will be released on it.
For those interested, this reissue ranges from $20 to $180, and only includes six new songs and a bunch of “rarities, outtakes, instrumentals, interviews and videos,” most of which have been released in some form or another.

Just in case anyone still believes that every reissue knocks it out of the park. I wouldn’t pay $180 for something like that.
 
"The Miracle" is being reissued as a collector's edition

And people were saying Dangerous can’t get an anniversary edition because it’s not “a classic album”. Is “The Miracle” a classic album? No.
 
I’m not even aware of the existence of an album called the miracle.
I want it all is the only single I’m familiar with and even that isn‘t a classic.

I sometimes feel like you swoop in to try and make everything else looks worse any time anything is mentioned lol

The only reason we are getting this is because it's Thriller.

Looking forvard to that one......and the Guns&Roses box set,Springsteen cd,and obviously the MJ release.
All coming this november....there was also a Elvis box set coming this month but sadly that one got delayed.

Not at all my intention! I just felt the need to point out that, for all the insistence that the estate doesn’t always do the right thing (which, yeah), there are countless box sets like this that are filled to the brim with material that doesn’t warrant the price. I think every estate really doesn’t pull their weight in some ways.
 
if they made thriller 40 a box set with the 3rd "digital" disk as an actual disk along with a victory tour show blueray + cd, i'd say it would have been looked on more fondly.

Indeed, they might want to play it safe and re-release Thriller, instead of something more obscure. But some people like to believe that only highly praised albums get reissues and anniversary editions, which is not the case, and they use that as an excuse for the Estate.

More expensive doesn’t equal better. T40 will be easier to pick up if you’re shopping for music.

Yessir. If that was the case, why Queen would choose The Miracle over A Night at the Opera? So yeah.
