On the back of aazzaabb and jaywonder 's discussion in the Last Christmas thread...Apparently there was supposed to be an Older25 release this year but it's been delayed. Rubbish. LWP25 was delayed also and was 27 years after LWP in the end. Plus the glorious Unplugged set that was done to promote Older was weirdly released with LWP. In terms if Estates, there's been very little for George. LWP25 was already planned when he was alive. The only 'new' tracks have been a Nile Rodgers remix of Fantasy (which was an old B side) and a very average song for the Last Christmas soundtrack that was instantly forgettable. Think that's been it. What is the actual story with Trojan Souls? Some say it’s an entire album rotting in a vault, others say it’s mostly an instrumental unfinished work tape that’s largely unreleasable. Not sure. As far as I know, it was pretty much done, but if so then God knows why it hasn't been released. There's that. Plus the Cover to Cover tour should be released, on album and DVD if possible. I'm just glad Unplugged got officially released. I'd worn out my bootleg!

I'm just glad Unplugged got officially released. I'd worn out my bootleg! I’ve still got the version of Unplugged you sent me and I think I actually prefer it for one reason or another. That deserved to be its own release as it’s such a career highlight. It wasn’t utilised as part of the boxset. So many people would have picked it up on CD from Tesco, Target etc. I wonder why there’s no Cover to Cover tour? To be fair I’ll concede that MJ’s estate has been a lot more forthcoming with releases, especially within the first 5 or 6 years, but what’s hard to take is knowing nothing enlightening has come since 2014’s Xscape and their making sooooooooooo much money, and MJ’s play counts only went up since LN.

I saw Last Christmas last night, the film aazzaabb was slagging off the other day, I actually really enjoyed it. Totally bonkers in places, but quite heartwarming. Anyway, it reminded me how much I love George. I know, it's shameful I needed reminding, but there you have it. Praying For Time is career best stuff. Love all of LWPV1.

So you would recommend this film? This is something you’ll look back on in years to come and think “that’s such a great film!! Dare I say it but I would imagine Russg shat out better turds than it!!!

I would've nailed it this past Christmas! ...if my dad didn't decide to casually skim through the Apple Music Christmas playlist on the speakers one day 😂
But nah, it's a great Christmas song, definitely up there with my favourite. Can't speak for the movie, never saw it and have no reason or desire to.
