I kinda refuse to believe they put Starlight on the disc sounding like that, but I also totally believe it, lol. Hoping it's a bad rip or something.
 
So this person from the Twitter account got their copy early and decided to post snippets only, is that it?

The Toy and Who Do You Know are really starting to grow on me, I feel like I judged too early lol. The instrumentals are definitely lacking though.

I get the impression that most of MJ’s pre-Bad demos were very bare bones. It seems like he didn’t really put effort into making them sound like completed productions until the mid-1980s.

I feel like the 2010 remix has to be heard because the vocals definitely have potential.

I agree! I’m honestly shocked that it sounds this developed vocally. I was expecting something simpler, but it even has backing vocalists.

Yeah, listening back now with headphones, it’s on par with the XSCAPE demos for the most part. Hopefully some more people got their hands on it and can confirm whether or not it’s just a bad rip.

I'd say it's a person who doesn't know EAC exists and ripped it in 128kbps using whatever software they have.
 
Waiting for the day someone filters the third verse of the BTM demo and puts it into the 2010 remix.

It's hardly a bad rip, the other demos sound ok at the very least. Starlight sounds just bad.

I'm loving that the blurbs in the booklet are the same awful ones they posted online when announcing the tracks.

At least in the context of the book it makes some sense. They’re still horribly written, but… hey… gotta find the positives…?
 
If you told me The Toy demo was recorded in 2008, I'd believe it. Really odd but amazing at the same time.

Tbf though She's Trouble is the only song that's finished, maybe that's why it sounds better.

True. Also sounds the strongest. Like I can almost see why Trouble almost made the album and the rest never got past the demo stage.

Really a shame that Hot Street & Nightline aren't on this release

I'm actually really glad that Hot Street isn't on this album, the song is Imo one of the best songs in the vault and it wouldn't be fair to put it on an album with lackluster demos such as this one. It deserves a better release on an album like Xscape or on an album with better outtakes.

As for Nite Line though yeah it would totally fit on this album lol.
