If anyone needs proof of the botch job, just compare Carousel on T40 with either the KOP or Thriller SE versions (or the leak). That's a significant drop in audio quality. It sounds so horribly muffled. Listening on an Amazon Echo. No fancy headphones needed. Shocking master here Edit: listening on Spotify The HD version on Qubuz is being ripped apart on the Steve Hoffman forum. Carousel and CGOOTR in particular. I think alleged audiophile albums with negative feedback based on their quality get removed. I'll admit CGOOTR doesn't sound as bad as Carousel does. Is T40 alleged to be audiophile?

If it's on Quobuz in high definition, then yes. 24 bit, no less www.qobuz.com/ie-en/album/thriller-40-michael-jackson/o4mbmm0ioh7ya

Am I the only one who likes What A Lovely Way To Go best of the 100% unheard songs?
It's so different!

I see all the T25 remixes are included now plus a 'new' WBSS mix (?), Human Nature 7", Billie Jean Long Version and a Thriller megamix

Brilliant to finally have the Human Nature 7" but I didn't realise it was already available on the digital version of The Essential. It really is missing the demo of TGIM which was released in 2008 on the single. All in all, it's a good addition to the 2CD despite it's execution.

Still never understand not including 12" mixes though.

One of many headscratching, or most likely careless omissions.

Just got the email that my mofi vinyl is delayed. Nice to know the estate started doing literally everything to do with this release a day before they announced it was a thing.

Oof, I kinda feel bad now as I had come in here to post that I just got my shipment notification for my SACD from the Netherlands.

They probably only started pressing the ordered vinyl yesterday, lol.

Haven't had any email confirming it's been dispatched though, so I guess it has been delayed and they just haven't bothered to update it.
