I know. It's like 20 sec but it's only just a couple of seconds of vocal

He mentions "Buffalo Bill" and "Liberian Girl" in the first minute of this video

ViintageJunkiie said:

So, are you saying that the version of Liberian girl that is on Bad, is actually the original version that he wrote for Victory? Or did he re-record it for Bad?

ViintageJunkiie said:

Actually there is

A couple of weeks, someone leaked snippets of
Trouble (alternate vocal take)
Billie Jean (different demo)
Nightline(cd quality)
Starlight (the early version of thriller)
Slapstick (the early version of hot street)
Baby Be Mine (rough demo)
PYT (unreleased instrumental)

I still have my doubts about the For All Time story. whenever it may have been written - the version that is on Thriller 25 is from around 1990 and I'm pissed he cheated his fans.

Me too, but in my opinion, the song was WRITTEN for "Thriller" but wasnt RECORDED until "Dangerous". He threw people off when he made it seem like the vocals of the song was from 1982. You can tell the song was from the 1982 era because the instrumental sounds just like "Human Nature" if you ask me. He just didnt record it back then

I heard it was one of the songs that he continued working on over the years, kinda like Be Not Always and Little Susie

Also, it sounds so much like Human Nature (which was a big hit as you know), why should someone who "doesn't want to repeat himself" (M.Jackson) do that?

Jay, do you think this song is THAT good so that it deserves that treatment?

As much as I love this song, it reminds me too much of Manhattan Transfer's,"Spice Of Live", which was also written by Rod Temperton.

nah... I even doubt that. I think it's a Human Nature rip off from 1990.

And wth?? I mean, who cares when it was written, the recorded version is from the early 90s and what people wanted to hear were Thriller outtakes. Got The Hots was a good starting point, thanks for the Gilr demo but he fooled casual fans with For All Time.

bboy87 said:

She was loving me was released instead of threatenedI think in limited version of INVINICBLE in some countries in the middle east.....
