Isn't Sunset Driver Off the Wall era? I love that song though, one of his best unreleased songs IMO. I've seen loads of posts and comments suggesting he worked on it again in 81/82 (not an iota of proof mind) but I wouldnt be surprised if it was the same one we always have. The more I listen to Sunset Driver his voice DOES sound like it could have been recorded later than 79... but I'm not going down that rabbit hole

Still don't really want it on Thriller 40 though if it's the same version.

Hmm, I’m not sure that the album’s themselves are associated with the allegations? There was a good two years of promotion and activity before the 93 allegations, but there’s nothing to stop the media from mentioning the allegations I guess. According to a list Respect posted recently, Dangerous is in the top 30 biggest selling albums. It sold somewhere in the region of 32 million if that’s accurate? The premier’s of the short films were big events. Black Or White was broadcast across 27 countries. I can’t see how such an album can be ignored. Same for HIStory. From Wikipedia; “Five hundred million viewers reportedly watched it (Black Or White) —the largest audience ever for a music video. The music video and its controversy boosted the sale of Dangerous, as did the broadcast of videos for "Remember the Time" and "In the Closet". Dangerous: The Short Films collection of music videos from Dangerous, with behind-the-scenes footage, was released in 1993. The Dangerous World Tour, which grossed $100 million (equivalent to $177 million in 2020) and drew nearly 4 million people across 72 concerts. All profits from the tour were donated to charities including Jackson's Heal the World Foundation. The Bucharest concert was filmed on October 1, 1992, for broadcast on HBO on October 10, 1992. Jackson sold the film rights for the concert for $20 million, then the highest amount for a concert performer to appear on television. The airing of the HBO concert special, Michael Jackson: Live in Bucharest, revived sales of the album. Jackson made personal appearances in early 1993, including the American Music Awards and Grammy Awards, when he accepted the Grammy Legend Award from his sister Janet. He also filmed a widely discussed interview with Oprah Winfrey and made a half-time performance at the Super Bowl XXVII, which started the NFL's trend of signing top acts to appear during the Super Bowl to attract more viewers and interest. The performance helped return Dangerous to the US album chart's top ten.” Very true. I mainly included it because it was the "active" album when the crap with the Chandlers happened, and those allegations pretty much killed any and all remaining promotional stuff for it. Not a good way to end that album's run. =/ It’s a shame the way it ended. It was such a great era up until that point. I remember seeing news clips of him performing Jam, still touring and just feeling devastated for him. It’s a shame we didn’t get a short film for Dangerous.

Ywah I've always thought that. At least that's the impression you get from a) the sound and b) the order it's on TUC. But maybe he was reworking it for Thriller. I'll happily accept either way. BTW, it's a shame they haven't put TUC on Spotify. Maybe it's because they want to use those tracks for future releases, like Sunset Driver (supposedly) in this case? That’s an interesting point actually. It also explains why possibly none of the King Of Pop compilations are on there, because they’ve got the 12” Extended Mixes as well as some other rarities. 🤔

Found on Reddit. Pretty much as expected but it’s good. I wonder if they’re still deciding whether to keep hold of Hot Street for another project or use it.

If Can't Get Outta the Rain is on it I'm boycotting. Not really... but maybe.

Hot Street is better than Nite Line IMO, so maybe unfortunately. Its fully recorded and completed vocally, probably ear marked for a future album.

Actually I've flip flopped. Im glad Cant Get Outta The Rain will be on there. A bloody BOP and I cant not move to it. Nice new recorded vocals of the very first solo collab between MJ and Q.

Streetwalker says hi, but yes I'm also maintaining a very excited outlook on this. New tracks, and a new documentary about the making of Thriller. Maybe some HD stuff. As shit as the Estate are I'm glad I've something nice to look forward to MJ related.
