It was just edited for some reasonDid they not have access to the full version or something
It was just edited for some reason
Idk. fyi, the 1999 acetate disc of Bad SE has also shorter edits of FA & SPYHO.So for no reason?
Lol, not gonna lie that’s kind of a bizarre compromise.MJ didn't want to include the full version I guess. Can't think of any other reason lol.
He also changed the T25 tracklist to exclude most of the Thriller era demos as well.
I would buy this if it was a song MJ self-produced and recorded at Hayvenhurst. Since this was a Quincy contribution, I feel as though the record keeping and archiving would’ve been better.*take this with a pinch of salt
I read years ago that they couldn't find the full version of the song and only released what they had, which was an extended promo clip meant for advertising and marketing of the project.
Again take that with a pinch of salt, no idea how true that is. But I read it on a music forum somewhere. I always remember thinking it was absurd until 2012 when they revealed they found Song Groove separated in two halves on two different tapes. So stranger things have happened
Absolutely mate, I personally didn't believe it when I read it. But I thought I'd share it. I think you're right mateI would buy this if it was a song MJ self-produced and recorded at Hayvenhurst. Since this was a Quincy contribution, I feel as though the record keeping and archiving would’ve been better.
“Groove of Midnight” was on the shortlist for Bad 25, but Matt Forger and co. couldn’t locate a recording of it in the archives, which led them to assume that it just… wasn’t recorded. Seems presumptuous if you ask me, but hey, I don’t have a key to the vault. -AlwaysThereNot on topic but I wonder why they couldn't find Groove Of Midnight for instance?
didn't the Estate have some problems with Rod/rod’s Estate around this time about royalties?“Groove of Midnight” was on the shortlist for Bad 25, but Matt Forger and co. couldn’t locate a recording of it in the archives, which led them to assume that it just… wasn’t recorded.

They've never had it straight with Rod so, yeah definitely. If he had it then it's definitely gone forever.didn't the Estate have some problems with Rod/rod’s Estate around this time about royalties?
I saw this; isn't it just the same YouTube leak of them practicing the riff?a cassette of Groove was auctioned with other Bad session stuff some years ago
