Heh, thanks.

See? I'm moving on up. Popes are OLD mofos anyway. Bboy will pass soon.

Careful thurr, young Jedi...Yoda still got moves.

The only move he can make is moving his ass out the damn door to make room for the new King/Pope/Royal Badness in town..

We'll see. One day. In four years, we might just see his name on a "Whatever happened to..." thread.

As usual, just joking. I'm cool with Bboy. I'd like to see him sitck around.

Just got back from the record store, and bought on vinyl:

first pressing of Thriller with the original lyrics of The Lady In My Life on the liner notes sleeve, for $2.99

Destiny in good condition for $.99

Victory in good condition for #1.99 (has anyone noticed that Jermaine and Jackie's heads are drawn on in the inside sleeve? Check it out when you get the chance

I also got the 12' single of New Edition's N.E. Heartbreak

With or without the dove?

Without, but I was hoping I'd find the one with the dove. I also found Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5 for 1.99 but didn't buy it. I also found Ben, Music And Me, and Got To Be There, but NOT ONE COPY of Off The Wall or Bad

I'm re-collecting because my mini vinyl collection was lost a couple of years ago

I want a State of Shock 45, I like that vocal accapella breakdown Michael does in the middle.

Ahh, the extended mix. It's on the 12' vinyl. I saw that too and was going to buy it, but decided to wait until next week.

I almost fell to my knees when I saw the Prince section. Sign 'o The Times on vinyl in nearly perfect condition for $3.99

After his passing,I saw alot of those at yard sales,but they were in pretty poor condition,so I did'nt bother getting them. Good luck in re-collecting them!

Alot of stores out here were cleaned out when he passed. The MJ sections were usually full until June/July 2009

So it's not a 45 it's a vinyl record single? OK I'll keep an eye out for it, possibly ask the stores I go to order it for me, I was told they would be getting shipments of more Jackson records, though I have most of them already and am missing very few.

a 45 is a vinyl record single

the 45 aka the 7' inch usually has the same content, but probably has the single edit instead while the 12' inch version has a extended remix and other mixes. The 45 may have the extended version though as it's only 6 or 7 minutes

UGH I meant 12 inch, guess I forgot to write that.

Was there a difference?

My version on vinyl has the dove - first issue copy. All my vinyl is first issue - one of the benefits of living through it all.

Never knew there was a without version.

Yeah, after the first copies were sold, they removed the dove on the cover

Proud Moonwalker for life, y'all...

All for the L.O.V.E

Yeah, on the cover of the first press versions of Victory,Randy has a dove on his shoulder. All pressings after,the dove was gone.

Same here

On the "Victory" thing, I think Michael insisted on adding a dedication to Marvin Gaye on the liner notes aswell. Swa does your album have the dedication?

I always wanted to know, why was the dove removed?

I guess that is what it sounds like..... when doves hide.

Every copy I've had has the dedication along with an acknowledgement to Teddy Pendergrass

After all these years, I still can't get over the airbrushing/drawing job of Jermaine and Jackie on the inside picture

I remember reading the reason but forgot why

In another version of the cover before they released it, Randy had the dove and Michael had a mustache

Victory is my favorite Jacksons album cover, with Destiny coming in second. They should've released a "Victory" special comic book because the cover had so much potential

So Katy Perry equalled MJ's record for 5 #1 off one album - congrats to her.

Here is a great article about it that compares the two successes.

MJ ESTATE to LLOYD'S OF LONDON
This Is It. Now Pay Up!

CIRQUE SPOILER

Loving the sound of this

Love that Mike Phillips is on horns - bet Prince will be keeping an eye on this.

Will.I.Am Says Justin Bieber Can Be Like Michael Jackson…or Prince

Will.I.Am Says Justin Bieber Can Be Like Michael Jackson…or Prince

Love him or hate him, 17-year-old pop sensation Justin Bieber is taking over the world, one 12-year-old at a time. For some time, many have compared the young star’s success to that of international icon Michael Jackson, and Black Eyed Peasfrontman Will.I.Am is making sure that he is added to that list, telling Radio Disney that he doesn’t see why this kid isn’t the next MJ…or Prince. Seriously.

“I was with Justin Bieber in the studio two days ago, working on his newalbum, and we had a really great conversation,” he revealed to the radio show, via MTV UK.

“Justin Bieber could be like Prince. Justin Bieber could be like Michael Jackson, where his career is like, ‘Wow! Explain [how] it’s 2030, Justin Bieber, [and] your career is so long. You’re the first artist to be broadcasted to Mars. How do you feel about that?’ Justin Bieber could be that dude.”

So what exactly was the conversation about?

“That’s the conversation we had, and then we started working on things from scratch like here, right. I wanted to do something with Justin that probably no other producer would do or took the time to think about to do,” he said. “You know, I’m excited about the stuff we’re making.”

First of all, no Radio Disney kids should be listening to Prince, and secondly, PRINCE!? Really?!

And what does MJ have to say?

Too many people kissing that boy's ass, I swear.

^^ Yeah take that Will.i.aint.got.much.sense!

What do they mean "Prince, really?" Prince is a freaking genius. And I prefer Radio Disney kids listening to Prince rather than Chris Brown.
