Hey, i read this thread for a long time now, and must say that im really excited about the work and dedication of many of the users here, thank you for this 
I also have a question as i couldnt find the answer anywhere: Where did the early leaks come from? I mean the leaks of the early 2000s., Some of the Dangerous songs are from the cancelled bonus disc of the dangerous special edition but what about hot street, nite light, for all time, what about us etc.?

I knew of the Dangerous test pressings and canceled special edition, but never heard from (a bigger) special editon for Thriller or Bad. I also can't remember on a leaked song or demo from the Bad era back then, but if there were planes for big special editions for Thriller and Dangerous, there would for sure also a big special edition be planned for Bad. So where are those songs and demos? Which songs were planned for those special editions for Bad and Thriller? I think it would be very intersting to know what was planned to be released back then, especially as the special edition of Dangerous won't have been short.

Yes, there were earlier versions with more tracks for the Thriller and Bad special editions. I know Bad originally had Someone Put Your Hand Out in addition to Streetwalker and Fly Away. I recall Thriller having Starlight and Hot Street.

Thank you for those informations, didn't knew that accept for Dangerous. But were did the other songs came from like hot street, nite line, she's trouble, there must be more to life than this, what about us, the girl is mine (demo) etc.? As they were not planed to be released on any special edition there wasn't any kind of test pressing. Or were the plans changed several times?

They just leaked in the early 2000s onto the internet.

Songs were compiled on tapes and/or cds during the sessions and held on to.....eventually they get traded and the domino effect begins.
Nite Line was close to being released during Thriller to coincide with the release of a digital clock.

I have to find the pictures and additional information in my notes but Michael had a collaboration with a clock/radio company at the time and Nite Line was to help promote it.

That record was missing from one discography box set of sorts, as well, I believe. Strange.

If we get no proof of this clock thing that’s fucking hilarious, right up there with Who do you Know being a demo to behind the mask.

Yes what's with the clock thing @BlackAnon ?
I do wonder if there is more of Nite Line than the leaked demo because that's not much and pretty awful imo

You guys should know by now how reliable I’ve been in these threads by the information and clippings I’ve posted. Trying to find this stuff is like a needle in a haystack sometimes.
There was a clock/radio device in the early 80s that he was supposed to collaborate with, hence releasing Nite Line. The device didn’t pick up steam and was ultimately scrapped.

I can't recall the device brand but it was bulky as hell. Working on finding it

Not questioning your reliability at all, and applauding the input actually! It wouldn't surprise me at the least if it MJ's version was meant for a commercial..
I like this way way more than the released versions and MJ's demo to be honest, a bit of a 'Tom Tom Club' vibe:

Early writing of Remember the Time. Michael's original version from 8/12/90 and Teddy revising lyrics 8/21/90

MJ could have worked further on the song post OTW sessions.Interesting the article mentions "Somewhere in Time" being from Off the Wall. I'd say it's an error since SIT is from 1980 and was submitted on the same tape as Why Can't I Be.

he did since the date of creation for the song in copyright is 1980.....just wondering if it was a mistake on the editors end or if Michael stated it was for OTW during the deposition

Pyramid Girl doesn't exist. The author is mistaken - either misheard the song or misremembered it.Pyramid Girl exists in some form since it was played at a listening party early 1987.
Michael also wanted Barbara Streisand to duet with him on IJCSLY.

He definitely misheard. "Berian" sounds like "pyramid" tbh.
