MJ should put out a boxset of this stuff. have heard the titles in bold.

Until he is dead (or is he?)... Good new stuff!

BlueNote

What About Us is just the Earth Song demo that has leaked, and Be Not Always was on Victory.

Satisfy You was also on a Bryan Loren album and MJ sings the chorus. That's been out for years.

where did you hear bumper snippet?

Ooh, I remember hearing Bumber Snippet. It's not even a song, is it? I can't even remember if I downloaded it cos it was just a bit of nothing. I think it leaked at the same time as those 30 second clips of She Got It/Work That Body before the whole songs were available.

Another Day is teh one I really wanna hear cos that's the Lenny Kravitz duet. I can't remember which is the one he worked on with Lauryn Hill.

how did I miss bumper snippet?

I haven't heard 90% of that list. I feel left out.

So you mean basically all of the bootlegs and unreleased tracks.

PURPLE RAIN

OOOOHHH OOOOHH OOOOH OOOHH (HEE HEE)
OOOOOHH OOOOH OOOO OOOOH
ONLY WANNA SEE YOU IN THE PURPLE RAIN (SHAMONE)

Can't Get Outta The Rain is simply You Can't Win pt2
I'm In Love Again is a Minnie Ripperton song with Michael's vocals recorded after
the State of Shock and There Must Be More To Life Than This demos will only be released if Michael and Queen agree to terms
Bumper Snippet is only 15 seconds
You Were There WON'T be released. He did that one for Sammy Davis Jr and said he won't include it on any album
For All Time is released
Elizabeth I Love You is in the same manner of You Were There
Shout was the B-Side to Cry

Thank You For Life was recorded in 1976 so I don't think it was for Off The Wall

He could release these:
OFF THE WALL/TRIUMPH

You Told Me Your Lovin
Rock With You(demo)
That Girl
Slipped Away
Nymphette Lover
The Toy
In The Life of Chico
Iowa



THRILLER/VICTORY

state of shock was released- I heard it while in Germany as a little girl- and I could have sworn I heard it on American radio

The promised song for Katrina's victims.

Can't Get Outta The Rain was released in 1982 as the B Side to The Girl Is Mine.

"Can't Get Outta the Rain" was actually a redo of some sorts of the disco 12" inch of "You Can't Win" that was released as MJ's first Epic single in 1979.

Evvy said:

State of Shock, is the from Jacksons 1984 Victory album. Michael recored a demo of State of Shock with Freddie Mercury (not Queen as a group) in 1982 or early 1983. The released version is a duet with Mick Jagger, which reached No.2 in the Billboard Charts in 1984.

Michael recorded 2 versions of There Must Be More To Life Than This. One is a solo recording, and another is a duet with Freddie Mercury.

now see that was pitiful- why put out there you gonna record for charity- and then back out of your word

Your word is you

Evvy said:

I'm talking the ORIGINAL version that was recorded in 1983 with the legendary Freddy Mercury

bboy87 said:

I think Hot Fever may be a demo of The Way You Make Me Feel, which was originally titled The Way You Make Me Feel (Hot Fever). Another song Michael recorded for Bad was Bumper Snippet, which he also re-recored for Dangerous, but so far hasn't been released.

BenS71 said:

yep it was Mick jagger i heard

dag said:

You aren't missing anything

BenS71 said:

Bumper Snippet is actually only 15 seconds with Michael simply saying "Girl I Wanna Grooove!"

The second version is from 1990 and includes different sounds and voices mixed together

^The "girl I wanna groove" snippet is actually MJ in the studio recording demo vocals 4 "Groove of Midnight". A have the full recording thats 1'33" long.

Seriously he should re-vamp Love Never Felt So Good out the vault and place it as a "get ready" single. It has a wonderful melody and a catchy chorus

He should release everything pre-Thriller. He should do or cover all the stuff he turned down pre-Thriller instead of messing with shit pop and shit hop "producers." He should sing like black Mike and lose all the bipolar yelling. He should stop having slumber parties.

raveun2thejoyfantastic said:

I have that too

Groove Of Midnight? The one where he's talking about his hair in the studio with Rod Temperton in the outtakes?

The song was recorded properly by Siedah Garrett for her Kiss of Life album with Quincy Jones.

Did MJ record Behind The Mask? He's listed as a co-writer on the original by Greg Phillinganes but not on the one Eric Clapton covered. On Greg's version you can hear a couple of hee hees in the background which I've never heard confirmed if they were MJ or not.

The uncut recording of The Lady In My Life has been released on some new Rod Temperton compilation/box set. Someone put it online recently in a really low bitrate. Ugh.

Ellie said:

Yeah he recorded Behind The Mask.

It was originally done by Yellow Magic Orchestra. Quincy liked the song and put it to MJ's attention, then Michael wrote verses for it, because it was an instrumental piece

Here's the original version:


Michael and the original composers could come to an agreement on the royalties so his version wasn't included on "Thriller"

Ellie, do you have Greg's version? I haven't heard it yet.
