Thriller 40th Anniversary

I get that, but in wembley's situation they didn't even mention any lost film until last year after we provided them the research on it. We were annoyed that we got a garbage quality VHS release in 2012 when we knew better sources existed. The excuse back then was "audio isn't usable for other shows" or "we were lucky to even find the wembley VHS"...The wembley audio we got wasn't even in their archives. Luckily some of the people involved in the multitrack recording had it. So I think the same goes for any other currently "lost" MJ media. The estate just needs to actually put the time & money into locating as much as possible. You would think Thriller, Beat it, and Billlie Jean masters would be in the same place.

Should've figured there was more context to that.

I don't personally believe the footage is lost in this case at least, and if they don't admit it, we have no reason to. But I am saying it can happen. In Doctor Who fandom, there are many lost episodes from the 60s that they have to expect fans and broadcasters to fill the gaps in. In some cases it may be the same. I'd just hope they've used all this time to collect as much lost media as they can.
 
I hope the doc is released on Blu-Ray and on Apple TV so I can buy the doc and see it on my screen via Apple TV.

Both BAD25 and Motown to your town docs were released on Blu-Ray and also on Apple TV. So I hope they follow that strategy.

Oh god yes really need a physical release,i hope it wont be just a bloody down load/streaming thing , didn't think of that.
 
Not sure about other releases (I have a 24-bit FLAC one), but has anyone noticed Billie Jean crossfades in to Human Nature prematurely? Almost sounds like it was "remastered" from a vinyl rip that had crossfades...

did you know that the song commonly known as "Dream Away" is actually called "Dreams Away"? Steve called it that while talking about it in the seminar it got leaked in which you can hear here (along with a remaster of the song through isolating and merging the instruments of the leak).

Awesome to hear him talk about it, thanks for sharing! The audio of him talking isn't in the leaked files right?

its from the entire file which isnt out yet, yes. i doubt i will share anymore as talking to some people it seems this might get me into some legal trouble if i post the stories of him discussing the situation of Xscape and such. i might post more but i really love Steve and i dont think posting full stories is something he would want, let alone a small snippet.

it will all get out eventually i believe, but just not through me.

(edit) i genuinely dont mean for this to be teasing btw, its just there is some stuff in it that might get ME into bother, and i do not want that responsibility LMFAO

Since this leaked I've been thinking that the song could've been called Wish Upon A Star since MJ says it multiple times on the song but there's already a song with that name lol. Dreams Away is still a pretty name though.

They probably were but Billie Jean video has filters/effects so they might have problems recreating them in HD. I think they should just not include them in the HD version.

Weird Al recently did the same thing for Eat it. He reuploaded it with the added effects though. Either way, all 3 of these films should have been remastered already.
 
has anyone bought the thriller mofi one step vinyl i have it good collector's item

Maybe the delay is due to the person working on the BJ remaster got inspired by George Lucas' Special Edition treatment of SW. Expect some additional new vfx & sfx for BJ.

Unpopular opinion, but some of those changes were justified lol. I've actually never watched the "demastered" original versions though. I think George made sure the masters got hidden somewhere because only the special editions are remastered on Bluray.

Holding out hope that they are just taking their time re editing BJ from scratch. If they really cant find BJ masters then that is really disappointing. Its also odd MJ didnt use the master in moonwalker.

Steve could team up with John McClain to polish Chicago 1945 and finish Dreams Away. I bet they both would do them tracks justice.
