That's disappointing, but at least we'll have an idea of how the 2008 version of BoJ sounded like...
Absolutely, my point was that a REAL 4K remaster isn't an upscale.
1985, according to Steve.
At the LA 2022 seminar, he mentioned 1983, maybe im mistaking it with being written in 1983 and not recorded, but that's what i heard.
Source of this info if you dont mind me asking?
Yeah Steve mentioned it was 1983 as far as i'm aware, i'm very certain chicago 1945 will be on this release.
I'm not so sure anymore honestly, so far we're already getting 2 unleaked demos, I wouldn't count on the Estate giving us more unleaked songs when there's still Thriller 50 to go (which is a bigger milestone), especially considering the song is fully complete and is probably one of the best songs in the vault.
thats from a private account, we cant see it.
Damn, my bad lol. The tweet comes from one of the people who went to the June 25th seminar and was one of the first people to talk about Chicago 1945 and they said that the song was written 1 week after Thriller's release and was recorded in 1983, I think the 1983 info came from them.
What makes you think we'll have another thriller anniversary? They have milked thriller as much as they could. I swear after Thriller 40....I dont need another copy of this album. I know I have at least 6copies & that's not even the digital ones. They need to do everything for Thriller now! It'll still be available to the public just as is the original & 25th anniversary. It's not going anywhere & it's not gonna leave the number one spot of being the best selling album of all time!
It's the Estate, they don't focus on Michael's career past the 80s for the most part and it's also the best selling album that pretty much defines Michael's career, the 50th anniversary is too big of a milestone for the Estate to just ignore.
How old are McClain and Branca anyways?
No, he didn’t. His exact quote:
Good question. Could it be some weird rights issue? That's the only other reason I can think of. Beat it looks great though.are the billie jean 16mm film tapes lost? the reason to why i ask is because in Moonwalker, Michael uses a copy of the vhs tape in the montage instead of rescanning the film, which he did for every other clip apart from the videos for the off the wall songs (because they were recorded on tape).
(moonwalker billie jean for reference)
My man legit just consistently posts stuff that was debunked like 10 years ago as if it's fact.
“Chicago Nights” was the working title for the ‘Smooth Criminal’ short film and has no connection whatsoever to the song Chicago 1945. It’s simply a coincidence that both titles contain the same word. Michael clearly had an affinity for that era and that place, so it isn’t surprising that he based three different songs, and thus three different stories, around the same concept.
i spoke to other attendees who confirmed this for me.
Here's a real question then, why is all of a sudden Steve attending many events when he hasnt really been attending since a good while as far as im aware, and the previous one (LA 2022) that he was at, he played the song, and spoke about how he's in the talks of getting the track released again, and he said he's been working on it again (at LA 2022). This is what makes me believe this is most likely going to be on Thriller 40.
The Toy?
Starlight? Still hoping for a We Are The World Solo recording (not A demo), in the style of the released version, maybe Victory with Freddie M? Set It On Out?
I thought the same thing but someone on the forum pointed out that he could be working on the song for an album that's coming out soon, why else would he rework on the song for an anniversary album when the Estate hasn't done that for any other song?
Everything about the song is on this thread:
In actuality, 'The Toy' was the original song which Michael Jackson recorded in the early '80s.
