i have this cut on the Who Is It cd single.
but all those album tracks on the singles just seem stupid if these r infact the correct tracklistings.
BillieJean is the one that i want

Kinda pointless really. And Thriller will be 21 years old by the time of the releases anyway.

DavidEye said:

It's also on the "The Don't Care About Us"-single (The Classic Remix Series). The remix starts off with the guitar solo, so it's cool.

Blergh, I don't like that Moby remix. The Brothers In Rhythm mix of Wanna Be Startin Somethin is excellent though.

I pre-ordered all of these from www.chaosmusic.com. Only worked out at about £30 including shipping once the conversions are done.

I wonder what the live version of Workin Day & Night will be.

Ellie said:

Guess it will be the same as the one on the "Jacksons Live" record.

SpcMs said:

Probably. That's a shame. It's the worst live version available.

The tracklistings seem nonsensical and totally unrelated. I don't see the point, i'll probably buy them though.

Marrk said:

Quite.

Has anyone heard the song "Eas' on Down the Road"? I've never heard of it. I've heard of "Can't Get Outta the Rain" but I've never heard it.

jtgillia said:

Ease On Down The Road is from 'The Wiz'.

Well they ARE related. The tracks are jus the B-sides to the original singles that were released in various countries. Can't Get Outta The Rain was the B-side to TGIM.

SpcMs said:

I didn't know that existed in instrumental form! My brain is jackin' all over the place!

The only thing that could have made these singles better is acapella versions for all of these great Thriller album hits. Dontcha think?

I'd LOVE to have the Acappella to Wanna Be Startin Somethin.
