yeah, this is totaly legit, you can pre - order it from sony on their official web site now, i dont know the link. What prob makes this most worth buying is the DVD of the Dangerous World Tour (that added with the selection of unreleased tracks scatterd from disc to disc)

FUCK!
THis is out October 19th on Amazon, order it now people, NOW

I don't want to buy any Michael Jackson records, but this would be cool to have and I'd listen to it a lot. Anybody have any extra Christmas spending money?

This is such an ugly rip-off!

given his bad publicity lately and the cost of box-sets only die hard MJ fans

would consider buying this and any die hard MJ fan will already most of those

tracks 2 or 3 time over probably.

Why not have a just single disc of unreleased tracks and a seperate dvd?

Oh wait, they have to milk what's left out of MJ in case he gets convicted and

his sales dry up for good.

This particularly annoys me coz I like his music and want those unreleased

tracks and the concert but I refuse to buy this.

this is pretty much just being released to satisfy his deal w/ sony, right? though interestingly enough, MJ said in the lee bailey radio interview that he's gonna be doing a lot of work to promote the box set.

Anxiety said:

He will? I'll be interested to see how that goes. Imagine if he went on tour!?

dammit i thought it was NOV 19th!!!

damn ok Isaiah.. u get $260 check 2morrow..

Mortal Kombat Deception: $35
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas: $50
Haircut: $20
Sweater / Pants.. (estimate $50)
MJ CD / DVD : $50
Brother's Birthday Sat. $20
Groceries $20

may have 2 put MJ on hold till next week and see how much tips i get in...

yall..

lemme

know how it is..till..... then...

Ok Amazon said Oct 19

But everywhere else is Nove 19th

WHAT THE FUCK!

How much is the box set going to be, that would be a nice thing to have

ella731 said:

like 50 bucks

I think this looks like a decent multi-disc box set.Most of the major hits are included,and there's a good amount of rarities too.Not bad at all,although I'm sure his hardcore fans expected more.

jayaredee said:

thanks, I just found it too

DavidEye said:

My only complaint is that the new stuff isn't on one disc.

I've heard the clips. They sound pretty good. Especially The Way You Love Me. Gorgeous track.

Cloudbuster said:

You'll have to burn you a CD of your own,containing the rare,previously unreleased tracks

DavidEye said:

Yep! I'll be doing that. Or else just put them all on a minidisc. There's enough decent songs to make up at least a ten track album.

nevermind.

There was a rumor that We've Had Enough was a duet with Janet ... never confirmed i think, and i don't believe it, but it would be neat, so anyone heard anything about this?


(i'm slightly druk, so srry for the weird phrasing)

SpcMs said:

Heard about it too. I wonder if it was actually recorded and just sitting on a shelf somewhere or strictly a rumor from the beginning.

LightOfArt said:

You forgot In The Back.

Apparently "We've Had Enough" was recorded this year. Certain people have heard it and they say it is not a duet. From the 30 second sample on the Sony site, it appears to be about a man who was killed by police. Probably a fictional story and not related to any specific case.

WildStyle said:

There was no sample on the Sony site, was there? I'll have to look that up... However i read on early review today saying that it was no duet but a very powerfull song indeed. (The same reviewer was somewhat disappointed with the overal quality and demo-ish-ness of the other new songs on the boxset)

http://www.sonymusicstore...2&mname=CD

For those that dont kno the link, you can definitly sample the unreleased tracks here. The ones im feeling the most from hearing these short clips is Sunset Driver and We've Had Enough.

I'm a big fan of Michael's solo work, but I've gotta say, these outtakes are pretty bland. Nothing really interests me except maybe Sunset Driver and Cheater.

I know there's gotta be at least a dozen tracks that didn't make Bad that could be represented on here. There are good outtakes out there that have been passed over.

We've had enough is not a duet, and has anti war sentiment - lyrics include...

“In the middle of the village in a distant land…too young to understand…his father grabs his hand. Screaming, crying, his wife’s dying, now he’s left to explain. Innocently questioning why… why his mother had to die? What did these soldiers come here for? ... Did God say that they could decide who would live and who would die? What that mother ever did, except to take care of her kid?”

I'll pass.....

I wont
