Just so you guys know, according to my friend (who worked briefly on the Michael album, as well as the second and third discs of Bad 25) said that he's almost certain that Buffalo Bill and What You Do to Me will make the second disc (Buffalo Bill was recorded in '84, but was still considered for Bad).

:shifty: :fortuneteller:
 
What impact, if any, do you guys think the nasty Jackson family feud will have on the Bad 25 campaign?

The children' welfare is by far my main concern, but I am not gonna lie, I fear the family might have screwed this for us as well. After all the media coverage the kidnapping/kidnapping attempt received, i can see the general public being turned off by everything with the Jackson name on it. Even Michael Jackson.

Chime in.
 
I hope the Jackson family will not hurt this release!
 
I hope by the time Bad25 will be released the waves of the current mess dissipate.

Third disc is the live album. What could be done to that? I understand the second disc, pick songs etc, but the third? I'm not sure.

You'd be amazed what is done to audio and video products that you never even realise/acknowledge.</SPAN>
I'm sure there would have been a lot of work to fix the audio and make it as close to 'live album' quality. It's an old multi-track recording don't forget so there could be a lot of work to do. E.g. levels to set, which could potentially need allot of tweaking at different points. Possible white noise to reduce. They may even need to tinker with small timing issues, add crowd noise etc.</SPAN>
My wife knows somebody whose fiancé did audio work on the Harry Potter films amongst others. There are loads of obvious special effects that are used and everybody knows about, but it's the simple almost imperceptible noises that make the difference - the things you only hear on a subconscious level.</SPAN>
 
BTW from Sony...:

Barbra Streisand is going to have a big fall season. It looks like her much rumored boxed set, called &#8220;Release Me,&#8221; is on the Sony schedule for September 25th. This is supposed to be a collection of hits and rarities designed to mark Barbra&#8217;s 50th anniversary with Columbia Records. She was signed in March 1962, and signed a new contract this past spring. I think she may have broken Johnny Mathis&#8217;s record with the record label. Barbra&#8217;s also had the same manager, the great Marty Ehrlichman, the whole time!


&#8220;Release Me&#8221; will precede by a couple of weeks Streisand&#8217;s performance at the new Barclay Center in Brooklyn. People are already paying scalpers to get into that room. It should be quite a night. Then, come Christmas Day, Streisand returns to the big screen in a comedy with Seth Rogen called &#8220;The Guilt Trip.&#8221; And she&#8217;s preparing to direct her first new film in 15 years&#8211; as I reported exclusively this spring&#8211;called &#8220;Skinny and Cat,&#8221; starring Colin Firth and Cate Blanchett.


As for Sony Music, it&#8217;s their season of boxed sets. They just had the excellent Paul Simon anniversary edition of &#8220;Graceland.&#8221; Also in September comes the 15th anniversary edition of Michael Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;Bad&#8221; complete with a Spike Lee documentary about the making of the album. Sadly, the mastermind behind &#8220;Bad,&#8221; Frank DiLeo, passed away unexpectedly a year ago on August 24th. I&#8217;m told the &#8220;Bad&#8221; box will have significant mentions of him and his role in putting it all together. In the year before Frank died, this was a project that he was very involved in. And there are still issues lingering between Sony and DiLeo&#8217;s estate on financial matters.

Sony&#8217;s Legacy division is very good, though, with these anniversary releases. They just put out a big package on Art Garfunkel. And there are still rumors of a Bob Dylan extravaganza in the works.


And by the way: repackaging old material is very &#8216;in&#8217; right now for the baby boomers. The Beatles ITunes only set, &#8220;Tomorrow Never Knows,&#8221; sold 14,000 copies last week and hit the SoundScan chart. It&#8217;s only available digitally, and it&#8217;s really just a bunch of existing songs re-presented in a new grouping.

The way the media writes, you would think it was Frank who recorded the album!

Well, Frank's involvement was huge for the BAD era when it comes to promotion. Because of him it was a golden era for our MJ. That's why I was very happy when he returned for 'THIS IS IT'.

Michael Jackson told Frank the night before he passed away that he was happy and that they are going to do it again, he referred to the BAD era.
 
I hope the tracklisting is released soon...as we're just over a month away from release. Usually tracklistings are released months in advance. Sure like to know what the holdup is.

As far as remixes are concerned, I've said it before and I'll say it again.....keep them off the damn album. They ruin the original tracks. Give me the original tracks, and unreleased material ANYDAY!
 
I tryed to wait as long as possible to buy the boxset but couldn't wait anymore so now im going even more crazy. Please let it me september soon :)

I would think so since that's what MJ hired him for. But, MJ like Frank said was the Boss. The mastermind I would say was MJ who hired the best hands to get his vision across. The best team work pretty much is what he got in the end. Frank was the best Manager MJ ever had IMO!
 
Could we have an update as to whats going on with the project? Mkgenie?? Anybody? When will more information be released, the tracklisting, another teaser, more singles? etc.

Yeah, i definitely agree! They were a golden dynamic duo!
 
Unfortunately, I don't think we'll get anything until September 14 when it releases in Ireland. Or the 17th when it comes out in the UK.
 
I still don't understand why Amazon has the dvd down as 60 mins. When in the real run time going to be released so that stupid thing can be updated.

Guys you might not like remixes but they are needed. Sure 16 demos and songs would be nice but if there are remixes that saves some bad era tracks for bad50 or other releases. They don't have a lot in the vaults. Keep that in mind. 10-30 years from nkw id like to hear unreleased mj too. I don't want it all gone now. Think of the future too.....
 
The estate needs to bring #BAD25 back in the forefront. take back the headlines.

No one (outside of the fan community) is talking about BAD 25th anniversary..with only a month & a half before release day.

I am gonna be beyond mad/pissed if this project fails....because we've waited too long for this moment.

As long as they're unreleased remixes from that time period I'm very happy. I really don't like the new mixes that they've put out.
 
Well, it might be until the middle or the end of this month before we get updates. I'm still excited for this project. I was only four when the album came out.
