Eventho I have the majority of those but thank you very much dude

Someone posted a clip of Slapstick at MJJC, didn't realise that was HotStreet - I love that song. Is Slapstick available in full?

The only ones I don't have are Girl You're So Together and I Have this Dream. What era is Girl You're So Together from, I've never heard of this one?

This is a list of every known unreleased song by Michael/J5 most of of these songs remain un-heard. But this gives us any idea of some of the songs we may hear in the coming months and years.... This list lets you know when the song was recorded, who wrote it, what it was intended for, and what source of the information is. For example you can see here that Michael started writing and copy writing songs in 1975 when he was 17.

Also to note, Their are 3 known unreleased Michael Jackson albums. first is from 1975 and is the "true final album with Motown" an album which was produced by Stevie Wonder. The other is from 1999. This album had an official release date and all, but was suddenly canned and no album came out until 2 years later with Invincible. Rumor has it that sony told michael the 1999 album has no hits on it and to go back to the studio. Many people feel this may have been the better album of the two and the rumored track lists made a much more mature soul album then anything he done before. It was also in 2000 when Michael brought in hit producer of the time Rodney Jerkins who ended doing what in IMO are the weaker tracks on Invincible, but IMO i think Michael brought him in trying get hits songs that sony wanted. Finally there was also an album planned to be released in 2004, which never came out due to the trail.


Michel was also working 2 albums at the time of his death. One a pop album. the other a albums of classical and jazz music composed by Michael. (which sadly was only it's begging stages at the time of his death)

How does "For All Time" sound?
In the version I have, the bridge sounds like the vocals are unfinished/mixed too low...

LOVE the song!

I'm digging some of the early DAT leaks. I love to see how a song is built.

However, on the other "If You Don't Love Me", and "Work That Body" are fun songs. "IYDLM" almost has a Motown feel to it. It also reminded me of "No More Candy 4 U" in some ways. "Work That Body" is firmly planted in the mid 90's, and thank God he didn't use it. Good song, but it would have really dated the album. And really, most of MJ's albums aren't relative to the time period. They don't have THAT sound. Prince is the same way. Taylor Dayne fell into this trap. Her albums at the end of the 80's and early 90's had a very dated sound. Even Bobby Z.'s album suffered from a steep toe in the 1992 era (or whenever it was released.) It SOUNDS like it's from a particular year.

Actually "Work That Body" sounds like Eddie Murphy should have sang it. It reminds me of "Put Your Mouth Of Me", which was very 90's in sound as well. I still like the song though.

The same idea holds to the original version of "Dangerous". The released version is much harder, and timeless. Sure a lot of the drums and sounds on the album are indicative of the 90's, but it's not like "Oh, this was made in 1992, you can tell." You can't really listen to "Kiss" and think it was a 1985 song either, can you? We KNOW when it was written, but again, it's not indicative of the period's sound.

I am enjoying the outtakes. I've heard "Serious Effect" before. "Escape" is another good one I'm noticing no one mentioned. I thought it was from Invincible, but I could be wrong. Someone said it was another singer, but I thought for sure it was MJ.

I was never a fan of "Monkey Business", per se. "For All Time" is kind of mediocre for me, in comparison to other MJ songs.
I'm glad I have these. Thanks.

I love that on the special editions of his albums, we got treasures like "Streetwalker", "Fly Away" and the snip of "Carousel". I LOVE "Streetwalker". It's so fucking funky. Prince should've done that song. It would've been another "DMSR" for him. "Fly Away"'s simplicity and melodic nature reminds of me of "Time Waits For No One".

One quick edit. "She Got It" sounds a LOT like "Ghosts".

He really did have a magical voice...he was nutty but so it is Prince and that doesn't dimnish his talent either.

Now you have me curious about this test pressing..will have to track down a copy..

P2daP said:

Hmm, accordigng to this site "A place with no name" is actually from 2000.



A Place With No Name (1971/2000) (Dewey Bunnell, ???)
Michael Jackson
Cover Version of the 1972 hit single A Horse With No Name by America
Outtake of the album INVINCIBLE (2001)



I'd love to hear a longer version of "Who is it", that is one of my fave MJ tracks.

I think "Shout" is a really cool, dark song.

Phishanga said:

oh yeah.

P2daP said:

Was a Track List for the 1999 album revealed?? Im curious about that album.

Phishanga said:

He interpolated the Isley Brothers' song of the same name in the chorus.

Timmy84 said:

I JUST REALISED THAT!!!!

Timmy84 said:

I've not heard this "Shout" song, or even heard OF it.

ernestsewell said:

It's one of the B-Sides of the Cry single

mikematronik said:

Hmmm, must've missed that one all the way around then.

bboy87 said:

can you re-post that big ass list of outtakes that you put up like a year or 2 ago? i found the thread, but it seems to cut off at the S's... unless there aren't any more. and if there's an updated version, that would make it even more worthwhile

ernestsewell said:

you didn't miss out on anything

seeingvoices12 said:

Just rumor and supposed tracks list, that the album included. Fall Again, Seeing Voices, I had this dream, as well as Invincible tracks Break of Dawn and a earlier cut of you rock my world. but nothing official. Though i should also add that the "1999 album" even had an official release date set for Nov. 8th 1999

mikematronik said:

just about to start playing this now

Militant said:

yeah, but it's as bad as Jason's tracks

seeingvoices12 said:

From my understanding he worked with Jerkins since 1998, the first song being written the one from the Ultimate Collection, that anti-war song... what's it's name?
It was co-written with Foster and Bayer-Sager.

In 199 he already had You Rock My World finished.

this ain't anything new

graecophilos said:

i can clearly see that. I've just never had it before.
[Edited 7/27/09 15:15pm]

matthewgrant said:

okay, but then you could as well add She Got It and Work That Body to it.

mikematronik said:

As stated before I'm really digging the HIStory and Blood On the Dancefloor stuff. I dunno. I like the dark,textured,multi layered MJ. That's why I'm so interested in his unreleased stuff. I'm sure there's lots of recorded stuff that is more "out there" that I know I would dig.

graecophilos said:

done and done

I see "This Is It - (Live)" has leaked. Anyone heard it?

EDIT:
after listening to one track, i'm pretty sure it's just an old gig.
