The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Was messing around with the HN multis the other day and realised there's a more polished instrumental version of Steve's demo in there. Pretty cool.
Mhm, combine that with Lead Vox Take #7 & you basically get a middle point between Steve's demo & the final track. Though what Michael was singing over in Take #7 is an even more fleshed out version of that track, notably it actually has a more fleshed out ending.

Personally, I've always been more of a fan of Steve's demo, mostly due to the key it's played in. But they made the best choice with how they did the final track.
 
# This Is Our Time


Lauryn Hill [Denying the existance of a duet called 'This Is Our Time' with Michael and herself]: "I remember when my girlfriend called me up to congratulate me on the duet, and I was like...whaaaaat? I mean, I think if I could choose one person in the industry I'd like to record with it'd be Michael. He is so focused when it comes to what he wants, and who knows...maybe sometime in the future we will work together."

Does anyone know the source of this quote?

I have never been able to find a credible source for the existence of this song.
 
Kevin Bacon remembers the first song he wrote as a young teen in the early 70's. "It was called 'All The World.' I wrote it for Michael Jackson. Of course he never heard it," he says, laughing.

Billboard magazine, 1999
Yeah I heard him sing a bit of it on Jimmy Fallon but as usual they’re making fun of the entire situation with barrels of laugh from the crowd when Kevin mentions he wrote it when he was 11. Then he starts singing it and Fallon starts making MJ like sounds. It is all super funny apparently.
Michael has never ever been taken as a serious human being, let alone musician.

I think the song mentioned as a rumour in 1999 by "planetjackson.com"

Ok but that's kinda cute though. This is America.

Have you heard this?
 
Cool link, if you read all of it , some of the songs have completely different alternative versions. The guy speaks of a slower version of jam and compares it to a carnaval.

This all makes for great possible deluxe re issues like the big Marvin Gay albums had.

When you know all of this exist you realize we really have had nothing yet, this stuff could breath new life into old songs.

Something not talked about here but very intriguing is the very first version of Beat It which had a heavy metal feel to it but then Quincy asked to tone it down because it was supposed to be a hit.

It’s a bit sad knowing all this is that we usually get some remixed songs nobody of the fanbase is interested in.
The way it was told, Steve played his parts that way. I got the impression it was just the parts. Maybe he did play to the vocal takes? Either way, they could combine them still.

Yes it is just the main riff from what I understand, I don’t think there were any other changes to the song. Maybe they even threw away his original part.
 


This is video Snoop Dogg talking about song recorded with Michael Jackson .did anyone know what is the title
 
Something that was bugging me for years.
Is there a possibility the Guitar Solo as seen on "Black Or White" during the This is It Rehearsals, to be part of an unreleased track? I mean the melody is oddly specific.
Do we know anything about it?
