It may not be "official" from Michael himself, but it is from his record company. Why argue? It is from an "official" source, just not Michael himself. Record companies do this ALL OF THE TIME. I get emails from Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, R. Kelly, and other Sony/BMG artists that I have signed up for their mailing list.

Here is the entire email:




HELP MICHAEL REACH #1!

We're thrilled that it looks like "Thriller 25" is very close to being the #1 album in the country next week. We need your help to make sure it happens. If you haven't already bought this album, be sure to do so before Sunday. If you've already bought your copy, now would be a great time to buy one for a friend or loved one. You can buy it at all major music stores. If you can't find it in your area, you can buy it directly from Amazon or digitally via iTunes (be sure to get either of the Thriller 25 products rather than the original). We're counting on the strength of you Michael Jackson fanatics to make this a historic week for Thriller -- tell all your friends!

BEHIND THE SCENES OF THRILLER 25

The EPK video for Thriller25 is now available on Sony BMG's Musicbox video network. Watch it, rate it and leave comments at http://musicbox.sonybmg.c...ersary-epk

You should see it though, there's some people who would lose it if "Thriller" don't hit #1 in the US.

I am surprised at how well Thriller 25 is selling. Even debuting at the top 50 let alone top 20 or 10 for a re-issue is great!

Timmy84 said:

I know. Though, I was one of the fools who bought 3 copies (for the bonus remixes), I don't care if it hits #1 or #50. I just want the cds for the content.

Some of these people amaze me. They are paying $60 for the special edition of the Japanese import. Man, that's a little overboard to me.

Ok, I just searched ebay for Thriller 25 and found that someone has bid $20 for the Target edition of the cd. Hell, it was only $10 in the store. I guess I need 2 run back 2 Target and pick up a couple of extras to sell on Ebay for double the price.

daPrettyman said:

I think some are doing to - hopefully - bring that "Got the Hots" joint in there, lol.

To Alex, Rodya and PrettyMan, I got a present for y'all. When you see this, check your pms, hell it should be flashing when you log back on here.

To bboy and Vanilli, if you still don't have it, I'll pm y'all too.

Timmy84 said:

I'm looking for it.....PM ME NOW!

bboy87 said:

Check your pm, dawg!

I'm checking out CD Japan, and I'm confused about the editions. What's the difference between this expanded edition: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/...=EICP-963, and this deluxe expanded edition: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/...Y=EICP-961 (which is said to be out of print before its release)?

I am curious as well. Because if the Japanese expanded edition has Got the Hots, it is only a couple of dollars more expensive than the US Deluxe Casebook Edition.

I am wondering if the difference between the Japanese expanded edition and the deluxe expanded edition is the booklet.

Timmy84 said:

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

Rodya24 said:

You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.

MikeMatronik said:

Mike, check your pm.

So what do you all think about it? It's not timeless, but for that time I quite like it... it does get a bit long in the end though!

PatrickS77 said:

Which edition(s) did you get, PatrickS77?

Well, I got the deluxe, but right now I'm talking about the japanese!

PatrickS77 said:

I think it's funky and groovy.

MikeMatronik, did you get your pm yet?

Timmy84 said:

Yeah, it certainly is!

PatrickS77 said:

This song would have fit perfectly on Off The Wall. Love the bass line.

daPrettyman said:

Exactly.

MikeMatronik said:

I see ya, Mike!

Aww...may I have a PM too? If it is what I think it is, I "fourthed" the notion a few pages ago. LOL

I think the difference is just the slipcase version versus the deluxe casebook version.

daPrettyman said:

I paid $45. I'd never spend anything over $50 for ONE CD
