Listened to Slapstick again after a while, gonna be honest, besides the quality, this goes hard lmao
Also, i stopped to think a bit about it and realized one thing, isn't this like, the only demo we've got of an unreleased track?
i mean like, not officially released, literally the demo of a track that we weren't even supposed to hear, and we've got both. 🤔

Probably yes. Maybe streetwalker and one of the demos leaked before the former debuted on Bad25?

Personally I prefer Hot Street. When listening to Nite Line I hear a demo, it's clearly unfinished. Whereas Hot Street is something that could have been on a Ghostbusters/Beverly Hills Cop/Footloose-like soundtrack right away. It has that punch of a hit song.

Which is why I believe that Hot Street will be saved for the next posthumous album.
 
Just relistened to nite line, sounds finished to me. Complete vocal recording, lead and background vocals. Maybe slightly bare instrumental but I doubt it.

Agreed, i personally think it is pretty much a finished track (that just needs good mastering ofc), however i do think it is really weak and forgettable, like, besides the chorus i don't even remember anything about it haha

Of the 4 that didn’t make thriller it is the least good track for me too but I like the bass especially during the intro and during the instrumental break. I also like the background vocals. **** it I love it. 🤣

Thinking about it, there's also I Am A Loser which is the outdated version of I Was The Loser so I guess that counts too? It's the demo of a demo that we weren't supposed to hear.

Do we got I Was The Loser though? 🤔 but yes i guess it counts in a way haha, that's a funny thought, tho, the demo of a demo.
 
I was the loser is the demo to i am a loser which in itself is also a demo. That song does not sound finished to me unlike nite line

Of course it doesn't sound like a "home demo" but there's a final production stage lacking to reach full bloom. For instance the intro. The idea is clear but still undeveloped and sounding rather sparse imho. All the basic elements are in place but top couturier Quincy Jones has yet to apply his finishing (Midas) touch in order to reach that magical production sound. Compare it with "Starlight" and "Thriller". When listening to "Thriller" one realizes: Just perfect! All the pieces fit! It's not a matter of mastering I think. Just "going that extra mile" that Quincy Jones and his studio team are famous for.

Just imagined for a momemt, what if Nightline had been released back in the day with an accompanying short film?

I mean... its still out here though. I wanna hear Lucy is in love with linus & Michael McKellar & this aren't leaked or heard before so for ppl to keep talking sadly about what's not going to be on the album.... forgetting the fact we've had 7 of 10 of these tracks for almost 10years+.....

No prove about songs recorded with vocal
 
my bet is that it's going to be Slapstick. you can almost see the logic of what they are doing - saving Hot Street, Nightline and the more complete She's Trouble for something else. it's unfair they've scraped together some bare bones to complete the rest of disc 2. stuff that was released between 2004-2008.

and if it's not Slapstick.. it'll be Nightline. IMO. i would like it to be Nightline or Chicago 1945.
