Nope!

Cut down Thriller?

My question about Behind the Mask: why hasn't anyone adequately restored the original yet?

It feels very much like the fiercely funky cousin to Wanna Be Startin' Somethin to me. Has that same funny rhythm. I could see it continuing that sound, funny enough.

Maybe Behind The Mask could also work with a WBSS-type beat, in my head it does already fit
That's a probable direction it would have went if Q had finalized it right..?

bro I've tried to listen to BTM and I always want to immediately turn it off lol. I've sat with headphones and a clear head and I've never gotten into it. It doesn't sound stronger than anything on Thriller to me. Do we know when he recorded it? I think I read it was in 1981

Yeah it's 1981. The problem is it's been overproduced.

Isn’t this a restoration?

Yes, that's why I posted it.
I completely forgot that @Beano Wild fixed the song.
a few guitars would be great

Well. We haven’t actually heard the version intended for Thriller made by both Quincy and MJ. The finished version could be a worthy contender for a slot on the tracklist

Great song but I dont like the Saxophone on the Michael 2010 version but that can easily be edited out so much of the sax is gone.
I also like the demo we got but shame about the poor sound.

I wonder about Greg Phillinganes' version though: at around 2:52 he does a Michael style 'hee hee' and at 3:00 he does the same with an 'auw'. Seems like a reference to MJ's version, but a later one perhaps...?

Around 2:52 and 3:00
