I was just browsing an audiophile forum to see the reactions about the new audiophile vinyl and SACD releases of Thriller and they all seem excited. There was only one person in the whole thread trying to start something about the allegations (how the label "should give the income from this to abuse victims") but they all just ignored him and continued to be excited. Welcome to TSH Forum 🤣

Less is more doesn't really apply with the MJ estate in my opinion, lol. True. They don't even give is the bare minimum.

As an aside to all of this, I have tons of box sets and I never listen to them, including the Prince Sign O” The Times Super Deluxe. And I swore I was going to spend a solid year eating it up! I listened to it once, maybe twice and that was it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a magnificent release but what I’ve began to feel lately is that less is probably more. Sure, I would have loved for the MJ releases to be up there with The Beatles and Prince but when I weigh up what I actually listen to versus what I own, I always come back to the original albums and a handful of bonus tracks. I’m not arguing a case for the estates lacklustre efforts but if I get 1 or 2 new tracks with Thriller 40 then I’m cool. I don’t have the time or interest anymore to consume 5,6,7 discs of material. That's some cool shit on that SOTT set, but yeah, I could probably condense the good stuff onto one additional disc. The rest is fluff.

With Prince I'm not a hard core fan, more a casual listener and from that perspective I agree that the amount of "new" material is just overwhelming and while I listened to some of them on Spotify I rarely ever go back to those. There may be gems among them but the amount of songs put out is just so overwhelming that I definitely had the "less might have been more" feeling sometimes. If I was a hard core Prince fan I'd probably feel differently about it, just like I'd like to hear more MJ outtakes because I'm a hard core MJ fan. For casuals the audiophile versions of the original Thriller album are probably more exciting news. This wasn't meant to excuse the Estate, because they should definitely care more about hard core fans than they do.They definitely should and it’s a travesty that they don’t. But…..a few days ago we were getting nothing as far as we were all concerned, and now we might possibly have one or two new tracks soon. Although, then again, possibly not.😂 As you said to me recently, you can choose how you feel, well, to a certain extent. They do make it very hard for fans to excuse them though.

Meanwhile, we’re getting LOTS of fluff and maybe a new demo. 😭

An awful lot of Thriller multi tracks were leaked in the past 2-3 years, many with several vocal takes like Thriller, Human Nature etc. These could heavily feature as early versions? Human Nature and Thriller both have like 7 or 8 takes each!

Anyone else think the Estate could include a duet with the lead from MJ The Musical as a means of promo

I know there is only one additional disc, but they better use up the disc to its maximum capacity, as there's so much stuff they could use.
I'd be happy with something like this:
1. Previously unheard outtake 2. Previously unheard outtake 3. Previously unheard outtake 4. Starlight 5. Night Line 6. Got The Hots 7. Much Too Soon original demo 8. Behind The Mask original demo 9. Billie Jean 12" version 10. Wanna Be Startin Something 12" version 11. Human Nature 12" version 12. Lady In My Life Long version 13. Baby Be Mine demo 14. The Girl Is Mine solo version 15. Obligatory collaboration monstrosity from out of touch estate
